Playful creatures and fresh veggies adorn these eggs. Each design starts with circle stencils made using a craft punch and black adhesive vinyl.

For the carrot and radish: The circle stencils are modified with a craft knife; the stem stencil is cut freehand.

Butterflies call for half-circles: For the one in front, orange dye is dabbed into stencils on a pale-pink egg; for the one at back, half-circles are adhered to a pale-peach egg, which is then dipped into darker peach dye.

To make your own wire stands, wrap 20-gauge wire around a pen, flatten the resulting coil to create a series of loops, and then twist the ends together to form a ring.
