Dyeing

DYE SOLUTION: 2 tbsp food colouring + 1 tbsp white vinegar + half cup water.
Add more food colouring to make colours more vivid. Submerge eggs for at least 10 mins longer to make colours darker.

  • For 1 colour designs, submerge hard boiled eggs in dye.
  • For 2+ colours, rest one side of the egg in dye and then the other.
  • For patterns, wrap the eggs with elastic ties/tape before submerging.

Crayons

  • Draw your designs on hard boiled eggs with wax crayons.
  • For a different effect draw with the WHITE crayon only then
    submerge in dye.
