DIY Decorated Easter Eggs: Fun Marble & Comic Strip Ideas 2026

Get ready for Easter crafts! These DIY decorated Easter eggs use simple techniques to create stunning marbled eggs with bright, vibrant colors or playful comic-strip eggs that kids will love. Perfect for adding a personal touch to your holiday decor.

Marbleized Easter Eggs with Easy Marble Colors

Let's kick off the Easter crafts! For these decorated Easter eggs, we use Marabu Easy Marble colors, which are suitable for marbling plastic, polystyrene, paper, wood, metal, papier-mâché, and more. To start, fill a container (like a large yogurt pot) with water. Using the provided dropper, drop a few drops of two or three different color shades onto the water's surface (there are up to 20 colors available) and stir quickly with a toothpick. Pierce the object to be decorated on a toothpick and immerse it completely in the water, proceeding slowly and gradually; then remove it very quickly and let it dry. Before dipping other objects, remove the color film left on the water with a sheet of paper. With this technique, you can decorate Easter eggs, Christmas balls, candles, greeting cards, and more.

Decoupage Easter Eggs with Comic Strips

Another idea we suggest for decorating Easter eggs with your children is decoupage. In this case, we used paper cutouts from comic book pages (like Mickey Mouse). We can use real hollowed-out eggs, or more simply, polystyrene or wooden eggs that can be purchased ready for decoration at hardware stores and supermarkets during the Easter season. Cut out the panels and glue them onto the eggs. To glue them, use a solution of water and vinyl glue (3 parts vinyl glue to 1 part water). Once dry, finish the work with a couple of coats of decoupage varnish, which makes the decoration shiny and waterproofs the surface. Display your finished eggs on a stylish dining table or bookshelf from our curated collections.

Button Easter Eggs

Finally, we suggest a quick and easy idea for your decorated Easter eggs. Glue colorful buttons onto the surface. Equip the eggs with a cord for hanging. These make charming additions to any wall decor or can be hung in front of your curtains for a festive touch.
