Looking for egg-cellent Easter egg designs, but without the bowls of food dye? We got this.

‣ MyFixitUpLife easter egg designs yarn wreath — An egg yarn wreath is charming, and you can use plastic eggs. So, it’s easy to reuse next year.

Even if you aren’t celebrating Easter, these Easter egg designs can be inspiration for any spring decoration, from wreath to mantel to tablescape.

Maybe it’s the years of dying eggs in little bowls filled with hot food coloring… but I’m especially charmed by the no-dye approach to Easter decor. Using fabric, string, yarn, and markers, both plastic and real eggs are transformed.

Here are a few of my favorites. I’d love to see what you are decorating for spring. Please Tweet me, or share your comments below.

‣ MyFixitUpLife egg fabric — Decorate eggs with fabric. A smart look that relies on getting the ‘fit’ just right. Cut fabric into strips and glue those strips in layers. Patience is your friend.

‣ MyFixitUpLife black white flower egg — I’m charmed by a black-and-white decorated basket of eggs. The delicate artwork reminds me of lace, and it’s as easy as using a sharpie and a steady hand. The white is the color of the shell.

‣ MyFixitUpLife chalkboard eggs — How about chalkboard eggs? These are fun eggs to hide in a egg hunt if you want to give it a scavenger-hunt-twist. Or use these as place card settings for Easter brunch.

‣ MyFixitUpLife eggs string — Wrapping real eggs with string is a harder feat, but wrapping plastic eggs gives you this little ‘cheat’ to start. Just be sure you glue the plastic egg shut to avoid the possible snap-open frustration moment.
