How to Color Easter Eggs

Quick Steps

With spring it comes Easter, and beside all of joy involved in this day, coloring Easter Eggs is the most fun part. There are so many ways to do it, but here are some quick easy steps to color your eggs and have it on table.

1. Buy have dozen or a dozen eggs from the nearby grocery store, make sure of the expiration date so you will have new fresh eggs.

2. Boil the eggs for 10 min and then lift the eggs out carefully with a spoon or tongs. Place them under cold running water until they are cool enough to handle, at least a minute, and cool completely on a rack in the refrigerator before using.
3. Buy a decorating kit, you can find some on stores or online.
4. Read the instruction on tool kit. Most cases you will need to drop the pallet into a mixture of water and vinegar.(1 tablespoon of vinegar).
5. Prepare the colors and have your eggs nearby where you can reach them easily.
6. You can color eggs in a single color or decorate each egg before dyeing if you intend on adding features. You can draw on the eggs with crayon, or place rubber bands or dot stickers on the egg. Covering parts of the egg with tape, stickers, crayon wax from drawing, or rubber bands will result in the covered parts of the egg not being coated in the dye you are about to dip the egg in but will create their own cool effects.
7. Naturally, you can add decorative effects after dyeing as well. It's really up to you and a good way to find out what you prefer is to try decorating both before and after dyeing the eggs.
8. Place the eggs in desired color and let the egg stay in the color for about 3 min. The egg will soak up and absorb more color if you let it in the coloring system for more.
Place the removed egg onto a work surface that has been covered in newspaper. At this point, you can place a different drop of coloring on the egg for added color effects, and then blow through a straw to disperse the drop of dye across the egg. This will make interesting new patterns. You can also use a paintbrush to move the dye around if you like.
9. Repeat the last step if needed.
10. Your eggs are ready to be served as gift, or decoration. You can eat them "Butter, Hot bread and Egg, Delicious!"
