Description
Learn how to dye hard-boiled eggs with food coloring for a vibrant and creative design.
Ingredients
- Eggs hard-boiled
- Food coloring as needed
- Fabric for wrapping
- Rubber band for securing the fabric
- Paper towel for drying
Instructions
- Prepare the Dye. Mix your egg dye according to the instructions. I used food coloring, which can be very strong, so a little goes a long way.
- Wrap the Egg. Tightly wrap a piece of fabric around your egg. Secure it at the top with a rubber band. Make sure the fabric is pressed snugly against the shell – it helps create a clearer design.
- Dye the Egg. Dip the wrapped egg fully into the dye. Leave it for about 30 seconds – or even less if the dye is strong. The longer it sits, the deeper the color and the more it may blur the design.
- Dry the Egg. Remove the egg and gently pat it dry with a paper towel. Let it sit for about 2 minutes.
- Unwrap. Carefully cut away the fabric wrap.
- Final Dry. Pat dry again and let the egg rest for 3 more minutes.
- Repeat and Enjoy! Keep going with as many eggs as you like.
Notes
- Food coloring can stain, so handle with care.
- Experiment with different fabrics for designs.
