2. Wide elastic bands
Want to give your decor a modern look? Wrap the eggs with thick rubber bands and dip them in bright colors. After you remove the rubber bands, graphic stripes will remain on the eggs (the color of the stripes depends on the natural color of the egg).

3. Application of flowers
Paint the eggs bright colors and stick solid little flowers on them.

4. Dot decor
Take some pencils with rubber bands. Dip your pencil into the paint and draw dots with it. The eraser can be rinsed with water before changing colors, or you can use each pencil for a different color.

5. A toothpick instead of a brush
Choose 2 colors to decorate each egg. Draw the middle of the flower with one color, and the petals with the other. Wear the paint with a toothpick (tilting it slightly towards the egg to make strokes)

6. Confetti
If you have any confetti from the New Year, use them to decorate the eggs! Flowers, stripes, circles - all these patterns can be reproduced using small circles.

7. Thin elastic bands
Wrap the eggs with thin rubber bands (so that the circles run parallel to each other). First, place the eggs in one of the colors (for example, yellow). Then use 4 rubber bands - and place in a new color (purple), after that add 4 more rubber bands, dip the eggs in the main color (blue) again. Thus, the egg will have thin rings of different colors (in our case, this is a blue egg with yellow and purple stripes).

8. Sequins
If you have sequins and love everything glittery, this easy way is for you. Dilute the glue with water, dip the egg completely into this mixture, then roll it in the sparkles. You can use both plain sequins for one egg, and multi-colored. We do not recommend eating such eggs (sparkles will fall on the protein), but you can safely decorate the interior with them.

You can also glue only the part of the egg where the glitter should adhere. Apply the patterns with a brush and glue, then roll in glitter.

9. Thermo stickers
This method has been ranked first among housewives for several years. Thermo stickers are beautiful and very easy to decorate eggs with. However, removing the shell from such an egg is very problematic, so it is better to use it as a decoration. Buy special stickers (they are sold in any supermarket before Easter), place the egg inside the sticker, dip the egg in boiling water for a few seconds - and the sticker will glue the egg tightly.

Decorating eggs for Easter is a good tradition that the Christian world adheres to even today. All Orthodox believers must paint eggs for the holiday, using various methods for this. The most popular in recent years have become thermal labels on eggs, how to glue which we will try to understand this material. The information provided will be relevant for those people who do not want to use food colors or natural ingredients.

If you have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to use thermal labels for eggs, you can get unique decorative patterns. This method is considered simple and economical. There is no need to have artistic skills, as a variety of compositions and patterns have already been applied by professional craftsmen. It is much more difficult to choose a beautiful version of the image from their variety. The sticker makers offer a huge selection of designs, including Bible themes, florals, and cartoons.

Instructions for use are attached to each set including egg thermo labels. However, all stickers have a common principle of application, which will require:

• the thermal label itself;
• boiled chicken eggs;
• small capacity;
• boiling water;
• spoons.

A standard set of stickers for eggs assumes the presence of 7-10 pieces of thermal labels. They are removed from the tape by a scissor cut along the dashed line. The separate label resembles an ordinary pipe that is put on a boiled egg. It is almost completely hidden in the sticker blank.

After that, the egg is lowered into a prepared container, which is filled with boiling water. This is where the heat-shrinking properties of the stickers are manifested, ensuring the compression of the product and the tight capture of the egg by the thermal label.

In fact, the question of how to use egg thermal labels has already been resolved. It remains only to get the egg out of the boiling water with a spoon. Usually, the water does not cool down quickly, so you can transfer the stickers to another 2-3 eggs. In order not to burn yourself, they are recommended to be placed in a container using a prepared spoon.

It is also allowed to boil water directly in the container and maintain its high temperature. Then it is enough just to dip the spoon with the egg into the water, wait for the thermal label to shrink and take out the finished egg. It is important not to allow the film to shift, otherwise you will have to redo everything due to the non-aesthetics of the appearance of the egg with a crumpled label.

It is not difficult to get a beautifully decorated Easter egg if you use ready-made 58x60 thermal labels. Small children will love such a gift, because the egg does not crack, and natural or artificial coloring does not stain their hands. It is also important that the dye does not get on the egg white when cleaning, since it is completely unhealthy for children.

If you have absolutely no time for creativity - there is no time to invent drawings and patterns, you can just buy special stickers. All of them are bright and beautiful, with the faces of saints, with animals and birds - an option for children. There are pictures that will give the Easter eggs a painted look - the choice depends on your preferences. How to put stickers on Easter eggs? Find out today.




Will need
- medium sized eggs,
- stickers, by the number of eggs.

How to cook from a photo step by step

Keep in mind that the size of the stickers is standard, but the eggs are very large. Small eggs will do, then the stickers may crumple into an accordion, which will not look very nice.




Hard-boiled eggs must be boiled before applying the Easter stickers. Cut the strip of stickers along the dividing lines. Put each piece on the egg, make sure it turns out evenly. Otherwise, when the picture is pasted, it will turn out crooked, and in order to redo it, you will have to remove it and repeat the whole procedure again.




Pour about a liter of water into a bowl and bring to a boil. Take a tablespoon or even larger, place the egg with the sticker and gently dip it in boiling water. The high temperature will cause the cellophane to shrink to form an egg.






After wiping with a towel, you can immediately serve Easter eggs to the table. To make them look even brighter and more beautiful, you can pre-paint them in any color, using dyes or improvised means (beets, blue cabbage, etc.).
Such an occupation can be entrusted even to children, but preferably already of school age, since there will be close contact with boiling water. The only inconvenience is that while cleaning the egg, you have to pry off the cellophane sticker with a knife, then it will easily break. That is, during the festive meal, it is advisable to have something spicy at hand.
Happy Easter!

Today there are many options for decorating Easter eggs. Iron-on or thermal stickers are a very easy way to decorate your Easter eggs. They are made, as a rule, from a heat-shrinkable film, which, under the influence of high temperatures (for example, when dipped in boiling water), shrinks and tightly wraps any object. Modern manufacturers produce thermal stickers with different designs, which will allow everyone to choose the color and style to their liking.

Advantages of the egg thermo stickers:

• efficiency: with their help, you can decorate Easter eggs in a matter of minutes;
• convenience: they are easy to use, do not get dirty;
• cost-effectiveness: thermal labels have gained immense popularity due to the fact that they are very cheap;
• environmental friendliness: do not contain chemical compounds that can penetrate under the shell.

An egg covered with decorative iron-on adhesive is unlikely to crack, even if you accidentally drop it: the film also has a protective function. True, on the other hand, a significant plus can turn into a minus: it is not easy to peel ready-made eggs from the shell in order to eat them. The film adheres tightly to the shell and does not want to "tear" at all when trying to separate it. But almost no one pays attention to such inconveniences. Much more important for people is that the thermal film allows you to decorate Easter eggs fantastically quickly. After all, it is much more difficult to deal with onion skins.

Important: check the proportions between the iron-on stickers and the eggs prepared for decoration. All stickers have standard diameters and are difficult to fit over large eggs (especially from poultry). But they are ideal for eggs, which are sold in stores under the C1 and C2 markings.

How to use Easter egg stickers correctly

1. First, cook chicken eggs in the usual way, then cool them in cold water. Eggs won't crack when boiling unless you put them in hot water straight from the refrigerator, but let them warm up at room temperature for a few hours before boiling. Put a tablespoon of salt in a pot of water - there is also such a way to prevent cracks in the shell during cooking.

2. We put on thermal stickers on the boiled eggs. Boil water again - in a separate small saucepan.

3. Gently, so that the label does not slide out, dip the egg into boiling water with a tablespoon.

4. Keep the egg in boiling water for only 3-5 seconds and take it out. The thermal film wraps around the egg, taking its shape.

5. Done! Decorate all the remaining eggs in the same way.

How to arrange a general composition? To create a festive mood, you can put eggs in a basket, after placing a waffle towel or napkin in it. Happy holiday!

- 3 boiled chicken eggs (can be colored),
- 3 thermal stickers,
- 750 grams of water,
- the spoon.

Recipe with photo step by step:

We cut the stickers into pieces, they have a dividing strip along which we cut with scissors. We buy thermal stickers with any decorations.




For example, I used three chicken eggs, the main thing is that the number of eggs is equal to the number of thermal stickers.
We use eggs already boiled, you can dyed. We put the eggs in stickers so that the stickers are approximately in the middle of the eggs. It is important that the eggs are not very large, elite, as they will not fit into the stickers. Buy medium sized eggs, they fit perfectly and fit into stickers.




We boil water, take a bowl and fill it almost completely with water so that the egg can be completely immersed in it. Put the egg with the sticker on a spoon and dip it in boiling water, in boiling water for a couple of seconds. In boiling water, the film will instantly stick to the egg and even there will be no irregularities.




We take out the eggs again with a spoon and see that we have got a beautiful Easter egg in an elegant sticker. The sticker fits snugly and adheres perfectly to the entire diameter.
