2. Dye Easter Eggs with an Old Tie!
Got some funky old ties lying around, or maybe you've just been dye-ing to get rid of that ugly tie your husband likes to wear? Either way, an easy way to get some cool looking easter eggs is to cut up a tie (preferably silk) and wrap it around the egg, then wrap in another piece of fabric from an old sheet or pillow case and boil in some vinegar and water. it's as simple as that!

3. Graphic Pattern Eggs
In order to make these sleek looking eggs courtesy of Martha Stewart. You just need to add different layers of electrical tape each time you dye the egg, slightly shifting them to create the effect.

4. Tattooed Eggs
Another simple yet cool way to get some creative eggs is to transfer temporary tattoos to them. You can either make your own by printing on tattoo paper, or you can finally have an excuse to be a kid again by visiting your local grocery store and getting some from those 50 cent machines after the check-out. Come on, you know you want to!
