Paint + feathers = simple but effective
But, if all else fails, simple paint makes a statement!
We love the detail on these clever creations
Proving it pays to have a steady hand!
Especially when you check out these incredibly detailed eggs:
Colourful, simple and easy enough for the kids to try...
This magical design makes great use of nail polish!
A cute place name idea to copy...
And we love a bit of embellishment
Showing that contrasting crayon over dark paint can look pretty fancy...
But, then again, more traditional designs work, too!
This bunny is simply a work of art:
These colourful eggs will brighten up any Easter display
And we love the simplicity of these easy Easter bunnies...
Don't discount the marbling trend:
Or forget that simple white paint over an unpainted shell can look very cool:
While a few splatters of gold paint can look super artistic
And pastel shades will always be pretty...
We love this transferrable tattoo idea!
And can't deny that felt-tips make intricate designs so much simpler...
But love the swirling effect you get with paint...
While nothing beats this easy tie-dye vibe:
Nothing is quite as cute as these fruits...
And for a clever display idea we love these cute nests!
