15 Creative DIY Easter Egg Designs You Should Try

The Lenten Season is one of the most important holidays in the Philippines as a resoundingly Catholic nation. This is the time when multitudes of Catholics would go to church, whisper their deepest prayers and gestures of gratitude, and some would even go as far as inflicting self-punishment as a symbol of penance or have themselves crucified to reenact what happened to Jesus to demonstrate genuine repentance of their sins.

But come Easter Sunday, it's when Catholics worldwide celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Children also get to be involved because of the traditional Easter egg hunting where eggs are kaleidoscopically designed and scattered in places for kids to look for.

Having said that, make Easter Egg hunting more fun by decorating Easter eggs yourself! Ran out of ideas as to which designs are fairly easy to make but stylish and creative just the same? We got you. In this article, we'd provide you with Easter egg ideas that you can DIY during this Easter celebration.

A Quick History of Easter Eggs

Eggs have always been regarded as a symbol of Christ and His Ressurection. In ancient times, moreover, eggs were considered forbidden during Lent as part of fasting. Dyeing eggs with crimson red to resemble the blood that Jesus shed when he was crucified was also a tradition observed by the people of Mesopotamia. But come Easter, eggs become a thanksgiving gift among people that have been passed on even to this day, giving birth to a fun tradition of decorating and dyeing eggs that kids especially enjoy when the Easter egg hunting begins.
