You’re a Good Egg – Natural Spring Decor

March 17, 2015  Easter | Uncategorized

Natural egg decorating ideas - love the simplicity of using speckled brown eggs as a spring or Easter centerpiece kellyelko.com

I’ve always dreamed of living on a farm, surrounded by my menagerie including a coop full of colorful chickens who lay the most amazing eggs in every color of the rainbow.

But alas, my eggs come from the supermarket and honestly, I’m not about to shovel chicken poo.

Such a cute Easter centerpiece using natural eggs and a cute little bunny kellyelko.com

These eggs don’t need neon dye – they’re perfect in all their brown speckled glory.

Beautiful idea for using natural eggs in your spring and Easter decor - love this nest full of eggs kellyelko.com

Just crack your eggs near the top and wash them out.

Shred a brown paper grocery bag.

Fill a bowl with your little nest of paper.

Add your speckled beauties.

Who needs a chicken coop after all.

 

P.S. Love the natural look?  You’ll love this spring decorating idea.

P.P.S. Want to see a much more colorful version of how I decorated with Easter eggs?

P.P.P.S. Enjoy some corned beef and cabbage on this St. Patrick’s Day (or just a green beer or two)!

    I love your egg display. I bought some brown eggs to decorate with but they are ceramic (they do look real!)

    Great idea Kelly. Love the food bag idea. Now I have to convince the hubby we need a shredder, been trying for years

    So pure…love it.
    I’m fortunate to have a friend who has chickens and get a dozen beautiful soft colored eggs every weeks as I need them…(I too don’t have to shovel chicken poop!)

    No fuss and so natural. Really pretty. And I’m not shoveling chicken poop either. Like your idea much better.

    LOL- Kelly! I often think of living on a farm and the romance of it all…until I think about cleaning up horse poop and chicken coops. YUCK. I’ll stick to the grocery store version as well.

      Maybe if we had young, studly farmhands to do all the dirty work – they would be fun to watch too!

    I keep telling my husband that we need some chickens. He keeps reminding me of the smell and poop. They are so cute. I can’t believe they can poop and be so smelly ;D
