If painting is not your thing or let’s say it is, but your skills are secret yet to the world, you might want to try this technique to decorate hard boiled eggs this Easter: lend a personal touch to your decor by dressing your eggs in a paper napkin pattern that catches your eye! When properly stored (3-4 days in the fridge), these easter eggs can be safely eaten afterwards. I suggest you using them to prepare these delicious hard boiled egg cookies, which are my sons’ favorites.
You can even use this idea to decorate other recipes, such as these brownies baked in eggshells
Finally, if you want other Easter ideas, please check here for past Easter recipes I have published in the blog!
Happy Easter!
{How to decorate Easter eggs with paper napkins}
Preparación: 15 min
Cooking time: none
Yield: 12 easter eggs
Ingredients
- 12 white hard boiled eggs, cold
- 3 paper napkins. I used these
- 2 pasteurized egg whites, lightly beaten
Directions
- Take the napkins and separate printed top layer. Discard lower sheets. Cut every napking into four squares
- Dip brush into the beaten egg whites and apply an square on the front center of the egg (the back will have a hinge). Dip brush into egg whites and gently smooth the napkin from the center out.
- Cut off excess napkin, and let the egg dry on a paper towel
- For a glossier effect, when dry, wipe the eggs with vegetable oil (using a paper towel)
NOTES:
- Sources: Martha Stewart (English) and this blog (Croatian)
- Hard boiled eggs can be kept up to four days in the fridge (unpeeled)

So fun, easy and bright for easter 🙂
I’m going to try your fab idea and make brownies in egg shells. Would you suggest decorating them first then baking or decorate after baking the brownies?
THANKS
Oh my… these look amazing (and so easy to make)! Pinning to make next year!
We have boiled eggs in the fridge and some cute napkins. Going to try this as a less messy alternative to dying eggs tonight. Thanks!
Gorgeous eggs–all your treats look like treasures–I can’t even imagine how yummy they must taste!
Happy Nesting!
What are pasteurized egg whites and how/where can I get them? Pasteurized usually means heating a liquid to a temperature that kills bacteria that are present. Thanks in advance for your help.

Just gorgeous!
ma la traduzione non c’è?? Mi piacerebbe farle ma, non si capisce se le uova vanno bollite e, sopra si mette il tovagliolo con quale colla?
Super nice, featured again:)
nessuna colla! usi il bianco dell’uovo come “collante”!
prima bolli le uova le fai raffreddare e poi inizia a decorare
Great idea. Never heard of using egg whites. I am familiar only with traditional decoupage, which I used to make my own spring egg as by coincidence, I had at home the same napkin.
Debra,
pasteurized egg whites are the liquid eggs in a carton in the dairy section of the market. If your in the USA, here is a Google image search that help you find the cartons:

In notes for blog you wrote CROATIAN, but is SERBIAN
super
Does this technique work for woden eggs too?
I used to decoupage everything in sight years ago – reading this post was a great reminder of how much I enjoyed it and miss it!! This is one of the most beautiful Easter projects I have found on the web. Your photos are gorgeous!
Now here is a beautiful craft that I think I am able to do. So pretty! Thanks for sharing
I just did this with my lil one. There now drying. Do I need to peel off the napkin after there dried? Or do I just rub the oil over the whole egg and voila?
Thank you for the great idea:)
I am going to try this… your eggs look so lovely!
