Easter eggs with beards are a wonderfully funny and at the same time very simple Easter idea. With a few colored lines and a painted mustache, simple eggs immediately get personality and look really original in the egg carton, in the Easter basket or on the breakfast table. What’s particularly nice is that this DIY works with very little effort. The combination of soft pastel stripes and a dark beard is what makes it so charming. This means the eggs don’t appear overloaded, but rather humorous, fresh and a bit retro.
Design Easter eggs with beards: This is how you imitate them
If you want to design Easter eggs with beards, it’s best to work in two steps. First, the eggs get fine, horizontal color stripes in pastel tones. Then draw a curved mustache in the middle. It is precisely this reduced design that makes the look so effective.
The DIY works particularly well with white eggs because both the light stripes and the dark beard can be clearly seen. The beard itself can look a bit playful: with curved ends, a slight upward curve and fine strokes on the inside so that it almost looks like a small, twirled mustache.
Reading tips: Design your Easter eggs using the napkin technique or color them with felt-tip pens and a bag.

- First prepare the white eggs and make sure that the shell is clean and dry. This means the lines can be applied more cleanly later.

- Now start with the colored stripes. Using the felt-tip pens or pastel acrylic markers, draw two or three horizontal lines around the egg. Light tones such as pink, light blue, mint, yellow or apricot look best.

- Leave some white space between the lines. It is precisely this airiness that makes the eggs particularly pretty and not too full.
- As you draw, slowly turn the egg in your hand so that the stripes run as evenly as possible. Small irregularities are not a problem, they give the whole thing a handmade charm.
- If you are unsure about the beard, you can first lightly sketch out the shape with a pencil. Place it roughly in the middle of the egg, slightly above the colored stripes.
- Now draw a curved mustache with the black felt-tip pen or black acrylic marker. Start in the middle and gently pull both sides outwards, with the ends slightly curled.
- Then fill in the beard and add a few fine, curved strokes inside to make it look livelier and a little hairier. It’s exactly these little details that turn a black shape into a real mustache.
- If you like, you can vary the beard shapes slightly. Some eggs develop a short, broad beard, others a longer, twirled mustache. This makes the whole group look even funnier later.
- Finally, place the finished eggs in an egg carton, in a bowl or on the Easter table. It looks particularly nice when the pastel stripes are slightly different, but the beard always remains the main unifying element.
