Every year since she was 2, my daughter and I have decorated Easter eggs. We blow them out using an old air compressor (made for asthma medication) and clean and dry them well. Start by using a pin to poke tiny holes in one end of the egg until they connect into a hole larger enough for the egg to drain out. Do this on the opposite end as well. Have patience because you don’t want to break the egg shell. You don’t have to have a compressor to blow out the contents. I know that you can do this with your mouth, as I have read online. But this seems yucky to me and maybe not all that healthy. If you have any other suggestions for our readers, please post a comment about it.

We keep and display the eggs year after year, and we give them away as gifts too. These photos represent just a fraction of our huge collection. They are so fun to make and so beautiful! I hope we inspired you to spend some time this year making eggs. They store very well in a box, especially if you put Easter grass on the bottom of the box. Happy decorating!
