8. Star Trek Easter Egg: Boldly go where no man has gone before with this Star Trek inspired Easter egg. Did you catch that those “stars” are actually made up of several Starfleet starships? To add a little starry *sparkle* to your nebulous design, glue on a few rhinestones here and there. (via Strut Creative)
9. Galaxy Easter Eggs With Stars: To get the classic galaxy Easter egg look, paint a black base on your eggs, then brush sections of dark blue and purple paints over the base. Create “stars” by gently splattering on white paint. Don’t worry too much about painting them perfectly — the more random they are, the better the “galaxies” will turn out. Give the eggs some added dimension using a sponge to add a touch of metallic gold paint. (via Dream a Little Bigger)
10. Black + Silver Easter Egg: This one calls for a steady hand and an aptitude for doodling. Deck out an all-black egg with metallic silver designs. Sketch out a space ship for an Easter egg decoration that really takes off. (via Tumblr)

13. Universe Easter Eggs: Forget the world — now you can have the whole UNIVERSE in your hands with this Easter egg DIY. It’s similar to the galaxy look, but has a matte finish rather than a metallic sheen. Opt for a few streaks of yellow as shooting stars, and call it a masterpiece. (via @bodine1212)
14. Glow in the Dark Easter Eggs: Give your eggs small details that glow in the dark, or go the extra(terrestrial) mile with an overall glow. To get them as phosphorescent as the ones pictured above, dunk your eggs in a solution of water, vinegar and glow in the dark paint for a marbled effect. Whatever you choose to do with the glow in the dark paint, you can bet they’ll turn out to be pretty stellar. (via Growing a Jeweled Rose)
