Step Two: Choose your background
If you are dyeing your hardboiled eggs, just follow the directions on the box to pick your egg background color.
Another method I used on some eggs was to spray paint. It can be a little messy and time-consuming (I suggest doing half the egg, letting it dry for a few hours, and then doing the other half) but it leaves a pretty finish. I picked metallic gold and a blush color but you can do any colors you like.
I chose all glitter as the background for my plastic eggs. This was super easy and foolproof — all you do is cover the egg with Mod Podge on one half and sprinkle glitter on top and wait for it to dry (about 15-20 minutes) and then do the other side.
Finally, for my “Harry Potter” eggs, I just left the egg raw & white to keep my canvas plain and highlight the tattoos.
