With more than 70 amazingly easy decorating techniques, there's no "egg-scuse" for letting any egg go naked again, or waiting until Easter, because here are designs that work all year-round. Not one of the crafting skills is beyond a beginner's grasp: if you can cut, paste, and paint, you can adorn an egg, whether it's the real thing, or one made from plastic, ppier-mach, styrofoam, or even wood. Dcoupage an egg with paper napkins, and finish it with a clear varnish to re-create the look of fine china. Need an attractive door display? Try threading specked quail eggs on silk ribbon along the edge of a charming rustic wreath. From subdued elegance to fabulous funk, there is a wide range of styles to suit every taste.
This is one of the best books I have found for variety in ways to decorate eggs. Most of the methods require simple and/or inexpensive materials. I am planning a family day when my sisters and their daughters and their kids will all come and we will spend the day decorating eggs using many of the methods in this book. Some of us have already met and tried out some of the methods to make sure we anticipate "pitfalls" etc. and we have had a great time. I highly recommend this book.
