Seeds, spices, and dried herbs make unique and all-natural Easter egg decorations. Apply school glue, such as Elmer's, to the egg—directly from the bottle using the applicator tip or with a small paintbrush—then roll the egg in your choice of seeds and herbs. Experiment with different dried herbs, seeds, and whole spices, including sesame, poppy, basil, cumin, dill, salt, mustard, celery, dried lemon peel, and dried parsley.
To create interesting patterns, you can draw lightly on the shell with a pencil to make a guide for where to apply the glue. You can also use a stencil to trace more exact shapes and detailed designs onto the egg. Hold the taped section of string (on either side of the shell) to keep the egg steady or hold onto the egg itself, placing your fingers in the areas without glue.
You can either hang these eggs on a hanger to dry (as with the painted eggs) or place them back in their carton—or really anywhere they won't roll around—to dry.
