In Okinawa, Japan, people decorate eggs with traditional Japanese Washi paper. The paper is cut into strips and glued onto hollowed out eggs piece by piece, then varnished.<\/span><\/p>\n

The blood red eggs of Greece are one of the oldest Easter traditions in the world. Though the origins are disputed, the technique has been the same for centuries. That deep red color is achieved with a natural dye made of onion skins and vinegar.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Hungarian Wax Resist-Dyeing<\/span><\/h1>\n

Hungary uses different techniques to decorate their eggs, but the most popular is wax resist-dyeing. Hungarians paint intricate patterns on eggs with hot wax, creating beautiful quilt-like patterns in the dye.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Mexican Cascarones<\/span><\/h1>\n

Cascarones<\/em> are hollowed eggs filled with confetti, and Mexicans throw them at friends or break them over their heads for both Easter and Carnaval.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ukraine goes all-out on Easter with pysanky<\/em> eggs. Similar to in Hungary, they use complex wax techniques combined with layering different dyes to create amazingly intricate folk art patterns.<\/p>\n

In Slovenia, artist Franc Grom has invented his own approach to egg art. Using a tiny drill, he makes egg shells look like lace. This isn’t a national tradition per se, but we couldn’t not<\/em> include\u00a0it. His typical eggs have approximately 2,500 to 3,500 holes, though Grom has drilled as many as 17,000 holes into a single egg.<\/span><\/p>\n
