Easter Eggs 3 Ways

We all loved dying Easter eggs when we were little, we love it now with our littles. After you've done them the same way year after year, after year, you want to do something different. I tried to find ones that I already had the ingredients for.

To make the dyes, you will need food coloring, vinegar and boiling water. How ever many different color dyes you want is how many cups you will need. Put about a cup of boiling water in to each cup. Pour 2 teaspoons of vinegar in each cup. Put drops of food coloring into each cup. Here are some color combinations that you may like.

Melted Crayon Easter Eggs



Follow my blog with Bloglovin After you dye each egg, with a lighter, melt a crayon and let it drip on the egg. You can use as many colors as you want. We liked this one best. Of course don't let the littles mess with fire, but they can hold the crayon.


Sharpie Alcohol Easter Eggs



This looked really easy and fun to make. It was, but it did not turn out like the pictures. Don't ya just hate that?! The messier the drawing on the eggs the better. Leave no white of egg left. Take a medicine dropper and drop alcohol onto the eggs. It should smear the colors, leaving a tie-dye look. We weren't as successful as the eggs I saw, but it's the effort that counts, right?!


Metallic Painted Easter Eggs



These are my favorite Easter Eggs artistic wise. I love simple, pretty things. These eggs are it. Metallic paint pens are what you will need. Dye the eggs accordingly, and let them dry. Draw onto the eggs whatever design you'd like. Let the pain dry and and go over the designs again to deepen the metallic color.

I hope y'all enjoy dying these eggs. It sure was fun for us.

Happy Easter! Remember the reason for the season. Luke 24:6-7

  1. I've always bought the dying kits with tablets. I never occurred to me that there was a recipe of at home ingredients that I could use. Now I have one! Thanks!

    And I'm loving the metallic gold dotted green egg. Very pretty!
