Creative Eggs

It is a tradition in my family to decorate Easter eggs the day before Easter every year.  Usually this consists of dipping eggs into water mixed with different colors of food coloring, but this year I decided to take some ideas from Pinterest and add some new material to the tradition! So here you go, some examples of some unique ideas that are easy to do and adorable around the house!
The Ninja Turtle Egg:
I've never been a big fan of Teenage Ninja Turtles, but when I saw this egg, I had to do it!
You need: Some embroidery string, (don't use black), green food coloring, water, a bowl, a sharpie, a hard boiled egg, and Elmer's glue.
Steps:
1. Pour some water into a bowl, and drops of green food coloring until you have a dark mixture.
2. Place your hard boiled egg into the bowl, and swirl it around with a spoon until the egg is green all over.
3. Take your egg and set it out to dry.
4. Use your glue and put a long line of glue on your embroidery string, with two fingers, spread the glue on the string.
5. Once your green egg is dry, take it and wrap the embroidery string around the egg so that the string is a circle around the egg that stays.
6. Now you can keep wrapping the string around the egg, using the first initial ring as the top.  Keep wrapping until you have a thick "band" around your egg.
7. Now you can create the eyes! With your sharpie, color two circles on the band around the egg, you can also draw a mouth.
8. Now you have your own Ninja Turtle egg!
Scuba Diver Egg:
When I saw this egg on Pinterest I knew I had to do it, the egg is so cute and easy to do, it definitely won the egg decorating contest at my house!
You need: a top of a bottle, two googly eyes, hot glue, tape, blue food coloring, scissors, construction paper, a hard boiled egg, and a bendy straw.
Steps:
1. Soak the bottom half of your hard boiled egg in water with blue food coloring in it for just a minute to create a faint blue coloring
2. Cut two small strips of construction paper out, about as long as your pinkie.
3. Tape the two strips of construction paper to opposite sides of your cap from a plastic bottle.
4. Tape the other ends of the strips of construction paper to the upper half of your hard boiled egg.
5. Hot glue two googly eyes to the plastic cap.
6.Cut the shorter side of your bendy straw by more than three fourths, this will be glued under the bottom side of your cap so make it short.
7. Cut the longer side of the straw also so that when you do glue it, your straw won't stick up to much from the top of the egg.
8. Now you can glue your straw, using hot glue, put a dab of glue right under your plastic bottle's cap, and place the straw under the cap, gluing it.
9. Now you have a scuba diver egg!
