Neon dip-dyed eggs
These colorful neon-hued dyed eggs were spotted on Oh Joy! courtesy of a guest blog by Courtney of Merriment. This design is a modern take on classic egg dying techniques and we love how they incorporated one of spring’s hottest trends – neon colors!

Silhouette Easter eggs
Another hot decorating trend for 2011-2012 is to incorporate traditional silhouettes into home decor accessories. Silhouettes have been popping up on pillows, wall prints, even Christmas trees, so it makes sense that this trend gets an update for Easter. These adorable silhouette Easter eggs were spotted on Le Papier Studio – a business that specializes in custom silhouettes.

Doodle Easter eggs
If you’d rather not fuss with the mess of dying Easter eggs, consider this super simple design by creative blogger Alisa Burke. This craft will take you back to the days of doodling in school. All you really need is a Sharpie marker. Keep the simple, yet chic black and white color palette for a sophisticated Easter decor or try using pastel colors for a more traditional Easter feel. Washable markers also make for easy cleanup if kids will be decorating eggs too.

Little egg man Easter craft
This adorable little Easter egg craft from A Bit of Pilli Pilli reminds us of a modern interpretation of Humpty Dumpty. This little guy was designed as an egg man, but we can only just imagine the fun creative ways to dress up an egg.

Paper punched Easter eggs
For an Easter egg with staying power, consider decorating one that you can reuse again. Nicki In Stitches crafted these lovely eggs using a paper punch, decorative paper, styrofoam eggs, straight pins, and glue.
