Clockwise from top left: the leopard appliqué egg, leopard spot egg, and floral egg
Clockwise from top right: the diamond egg and color-block egg
For our first egg, we drew on the Opening Ceremony Collection floral lace skirt for inspiration. Let's begin by mixing some blue dye into a cup of water. Hot tip: use white vinegar to achieve brighter colors!
Draw the outlines of flowers with the pencil. Using the transparent crayon, fill in the areas outside the petals as well as the flowers' centers.
Dip in the blue dye, and voilà!

Round two is inspired by the Opening Ceremony COllection leopard pullover
Dye the egg in yellow and let it dry
While your egg is drying, cut out small patches of the light brown felt to create the base of the leopard print
Start cutting out small pieces from the dark brown felt. These will become the leopard spots!
When the egg is completely dry, glue on the light brown base and add the dark spots. Me-ow!

Ok, now we're really testing your crafty skills! The next egg is a riff on the Opening Ceremony COllection pieced scuba dress.
Dye the egg blue
Once it's dry, dye the egg yellow to make it dark green
Print your OC LEOPARDS at 100% and cut them out. Careful with that X-Acto knife, strictly adults only!
Make sure your egg is dry, and paint the bottom and top parts of the egg with the royal blue acrylic paint. After the paint is dry, brush glue on the back of the leopard cut-outs and paste onto the egg.

The next egg design, inspired by the Opening Ceremony Collection COLORBLOCK SKIRT, calls for red and green dye.
Submerge half of the egg in the green dye.
Once dry, soak the egg in the red dye
Oh, snap!

Our last design draws on the Opening Ceremony COllection DIAMOND MINI SKIRT
Dye the egg yellow
Once dry, draw a diamond shape starting from the center of the egg. Do this until the whole egg is lined in pencil. Use your Sharpie and light blue poster marker to create the black and blue lines of the skirt.
