With a little bit of glue and some patterned paper napkins, let your Easter eggs be a canvas for your decoupage skills. [Liberty of London Assorted Large Napkins, $8]
Silk Patterns
Kick your Easter egg skills up a notch (or seven) by dying them with silk patterns. Using old ties or new pocket squares, secure them to your eggs with a rubber band and cover that again with a tightly-tied piece of solid cloth. Boil the creations in vinegar and water for about 20 minutes, let dry and remove the fabric. The result is pure magic. [J.Crew Silk Pocket Square, $40]
