-- For some really amazing looking and all-natural Easter eggs, check out this post. They don't seem that hard to make! And you could probably get a similar effect with regular dye, too.

-- Cut paper towel or toilet paper tubes into one-inch sections to hold Easter eggs while decorating.

-- Harriette Lee of Greensboro makes a trifle using angel food cake and pudding. She tops it with coconut dyed green, jelly beans and marshmallow animals for an Easter treat her kids love.

-- Add some vegetable oil to your dye for interesting spotting on your eggs.

-- Wrap eggs in rubber bands before you dye them for interesting patterns.

-- Let kids draw on eggs with wax crayons. The designs will show through after you dye them.
