Materials

Instructions
1. This egg decorating technique is not as messy as some of the others, but it would still be a good idea to cover your work area in newspaper. You probably won't need much, one sheet should do.

2. Once your work area is covered, you can begin with the actual Easter egg decorating. Cut a square of aluminum foil out. Make sure that it is big enough to wrap all the way around the egg, and you may want to make it even a little bigger than that.

3. Take the square of aluminum foil you cut out and crumble it up. Then, stretch it back out, but be careful not to rip it. You may want to do this a few times more.

4. When you've crumbled your aluminum foil, add some acrylic paint to it. Since it is Easter, pastel colors are usually the top choice, but you can choose any color you think would look good. You can splash the paint on it, or you can use a paintbrush. Make sure that the paint is thick enough to be transferred. The paint should get in all the creases of the aluminum foil.

5. Next, take your Easter egg and put it in the center of the aluminum foil. Wrap the aluminum foil around your egg. Be gentle when you do this, you wouldn't want to crack the egg and have to start all over. Make sure that the edges of the foil are touching the egg so that the paint will transfer.

6. Unwrap the Easter egg slowly. If done correctly, you should have a spots and blotches on your Easter egg. Let the paint on your Easter egg dry.

7. If you want an even better effect for your Easter egg, you can do this again with a different color.
