Last year we rounded up 40 of the most genius Easter egg designs from all over the web, and you guys are already re-pinning them for this year’s festivities! So, what’s a helpful company to do but serve 40 MORE brilliant Easter egg ideas?! From piñatas to popsicles, enjoy this year’s smattering of egg-cellent ideas. And stay tuned for more creative Easter ideas in the weeks to come.

Superhero, Dinosaur, and Insect Eggs

We’ll kick things off with our favorite creation from last year. We picked up temporary tattoos featuring superheros, insects, and dinosaurs (obvs) and transferred them right onto our eggs. Rambo is clearly the best. (via Brit + Co.)

Easter Egg Piñatas

Take a little inspiration from birthday parties of your youth and Cinco de Mayo and create little bundles of candy instead of using traditional eggs. (via Oh Happy Day)

Sprinkle Easter Eggs

Now, if only that was a Cadbury egg covered in sprinkles… (via Studio DIY)

Colorful Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

Love the combination of spring pinks and greens with old school gold leaf. (via Little Inspiration)

Easter Egg People

This printable project is great for grownups to make with kids. We love the little mustache dude and the polka dot dress. (via Mr. Printables)

Surprise Eggs

Carefully cut open your eggs and fill them with all sorts of goodies. In this case, a storm trooper makes for a fun Star Wars surprise. (via Instructables)

Gilded Cement Easter Eggs

First off, these eggs are made of cement! In a bunch they make for stylish paperweights. Color block if you prefer to skip the gold this year. (via Camille Styles)

Decal Easter Eggs

It’s hard to choose just a few of Martha’s marvelous Easter creations, but this one is a favorite of ours. (via Martha Stewart)

Washi and Glitter Tape Eggs

What’s better than washi tape? Combining it with glitter tape, of course. (via Centsational Girl)

Confetti Cascarones

We LOVE cascarones! In fact, you might recall seeing Brit on the TODAY show last year for the Super Bowl cracking a very similar (but football-themed) egg right over Willie Geist’s head. (via Oh Happy Day)

Love-ly Easter Eggs

Keep it simple and lovely by sticking heart stickers on your eggs and then dyeing them. (via The Sweetest Occasion)

Thumbtack Easter Eggs

Thumbtacks win again! ;) (via Paper & Stitch)

Modern Ukrainian Easter Eggs

This design-y take on traditional Ukrainian Eggs is so beautiful. Have you ever done this style of egg decorating? (via Oh Joy)

Puffy Paint Easter Eggs

That’s right. Puff paint is BACK. Stay tuned for our own take on this clever colorful method. (via BHG)

Silhouette Easter Eggs

Go old school with your eggs and create silhouette-shaped styles as place cards for everyone attending your Easter brunch. Including the Easter Bunny. (via Rookie Mag)

Graffiti-Inspired Easter Eggs

We are OBSESSED with these eggs. Who knew Easter could look like street art? (via Paper & Stitch)

Silk-Dyed Eggs

We’ve seen silk used to dye before, but we’re digging this black and white color (or non-color?) palette. (via Country Living)

Party Hat Easter Eggs

Put a hat on it. ‘Nuff said. (via Studio DIY)

Botanical Eggs

You can use natural elements like leaves, flowers, and the like to create these botanical beauties. (via Country Living)

Watercolor Easter Eggs

Watercolor strikes again in the form of these whimsical and sort of modern-art-esque eggs. (via Spoon Fork Bacon)

Which Came First?

The peep or the egg? So silly. (via Camille Styles)

Succulent Egg Planters

You can create an entire succulent garden in egg shells in an egg carton. How fun is that? (via Le Robins Nest)

Square Patterned Easter Eggs

Our next Martha Pick is sort of plaid, sort of geometric, and a lot of layered awesome. (via Martha Stewart)

Marbleized Easter Eggs

Yes, you can use nail polish to marble! (via Camille Styles)

Chocolate “Confetti” Eggs

For a different take on the incredible edible egg, take hollow chocolate eggs, crack ’em open and fill with candy! (via Brit + Co.)

Hand-painted Easter Eggs

These hand painted eggs are the bee’s knees. (via Sugar and Charm)

Metallic and Blue Easter Eggs

We know it would be super random to have Easter eggs at your wedding, but this could totally make the cut. (via BHG)

Wildflower Egg Centerpiece

Created for the TODAY show last year, you can get everything you need for this centerpiece at the supermarket or even a corner store. (via Brit + Co.)
