Easter eggs are most often decorated with the patterns inspired by nature – as it is the case in all decorations that originate from the folk culture. In some regions eggs’ shells are covered by paper cut-outs, in others – they are dyed in an infusion of herbs or onion peels, and then some patterns are scraped on them in a delicate manner. Easter eggs made with the use of the inner part of bulrush (eggs are covered by it) or wax are also known – an egg decorated with a wax pattern is dipped in dye and then wax is removed revealing unpainted ornament.
