Why not skip the dye this year? These Easter eggs draw on a floral theme (literally). Creating them is as easy as grabbing some markers and using spring flowers for your inspiration!
What you'll need:
Highlighters (shown above on the left): The standard highlighter found at the office supply store makes a great blending marker. Put a couple of thick marker lines on to the eggs shell, add a drop of water and smear for a water color effect:
Permanent makers (orange marker shown above in the center): These are great for achieving a solid color without any smearing as long as the shell of the egg is completely dry before applying the color.
Waterproof markers (shown above on the right): These work in a similar fashion as the permanent markers. Use these to outline the blended areas created with the highlighters and to draw crisp lines.
Tips:
Scribble on a piece of paper as needed to allow the ink to flow continuously.
Using a completely dry egg surface will provide the best results.

Grass egg: Using a highlighter, draw several vertical marks around the egg. Add a drop of water and blend. Using a waterproof marker, make hatch lines going two directions in a crisscross pattern.
Daffodil egg: Using a highlighter, loosely draw a star. Add additional points on the star to achieve a full petal aesthetic and fill in with color. Use a waterproof marker to draw the accents within the flower as well as the stem.
