Making plaster of paris eggs

It's really easy: just fill a balloon with quick-setting plaster of paris, then hang it up. Once it's dry, remove the ballon and you have an egg shape. A little sandpapering may be needed to make the pointed part of the egg less pronounced.Decorating an Easter egg

How about if we decorated real eggs as well?

The natural, traditional egg-decorating method is to dye the eggs after they have been boiled, so you can then enjoy a colorful (and very edible) egg during your Easter meal! Boiling the egg in a mix of water and beetroot juice will add vibrant color to your Easter eggs. Also worth trying: curry powder (for yellow eggs), a few drops of soy sauce (gives a brown color)... For an even more original approach, there are marbled eggs : all you have to do is wrap the eggs in wide strips of red onion skin before cooking (tying it fast with food-grade string). Then, boil the eggs: when they come out of the water, the eggs have taken on red-brown marbled look. You may also simply tie string around the eggs before boiling them to obtain an original striped effect. Marbled eggs, done to a T!
