I love Easter candy but with a two-year-old in the house we suddenly have way more Easter candy than any person should attempt to eat. My downfall (those evil Cadbury people) are the Cadbury Mini Eggs. I thought if I crushed them and put them into cookies I might slow down my consumption.

Creative Ways to Decorate Your Easter Eggs [VIDEOS]

98 Country — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 20:10:27 +0000

The Easter practice of egg decorating has meaning behind it: the egg itself represents rebirth, something early Pagans celebrated during the spring season, and was later adopted by Christians to represent the resurrection themes of the Easter holiday. Back in the olden days, colored eggs were decorated in springy hues and given away to lovers and friends sort of the same way we do with Valentines. The egg tradition has held over as the holiday evolved, with most people using store-bought dyeing packages to color their hard boileds.

This year, stray from the usual and create unique Easter egg decorations with the help of these video tutorials.
