It’s been a few years since we featured some great Easter egg designs, so it seemed like the perfect time to hunt down a few more. Here are some egg-cellent Easter creations you won’t want to miss.
1Pysanka
Traditional Ukranian Easter eggs take time to make as they use a variety of techniques to create elaborate patterns. The most common technique involves using layers of wax to seal in dye colors that are applied from light to dark. The designs and even the colors used on Pysanka eggs all have symbolic meanings, so if someone gives you one as a gift, they might be trying to tell you something.
2Ukranian Beaded Designs
When it comes to decorating Easter eggs, Ukrainians seem to have mastered the art. Aside from the stunning Pysanka eggs above, residents of the country are also known for beautiful beading around their eggs. These elaborate creations take a long time to complete, and are a popular tourist souvenir since they are usually created from wooden eggs, which makes them easier to transport than Pysanka eggs.
