Best Easter Dying Techniques:

Easter eggs that are one solid color dyed with the old school PAS dye kits are the thing of the past. 

The new marbled effects, transparent watercolor rainbows and endless shades of gradient forms make for the most visually dynamic, stunning eggs you’ll ever create!  

You’re going to want to give a few of these amazing tips a DIY try.

Use Whipped Cream:

Soak the eggs in a bowl of vinegar for at least 10 minutes.

In a large container thaw out whipped topping, smoothing it until it is even.

Using gel food coloring, mix and swirl the coloring. You can do solid colors or mix to swirl several colors.

Place your egg in the whipped topping.

Spoon over to fully cover the egg. Leave it there for 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, fill it with water. Gently submerge the egg in water and move it around. Do not rub the excess whipped cream off or run it under the water as that will wash away the coloring.

Allow drying time.

Use Paper Towels:

Rip apart the paper towels into small sections and place your egg in the middle.

Bunch up a paper towel around the egg so it’s completely covered. Twist the end as tightly as you can and secure it with a rubber band or a twist tie.

Squeeze drops of food coloring directly onto the paper towel.

Try to keep the food coloring drops apart so that way there is some white space between them. You don’t have to leave the space, but it helps to keep the colors from completely mixing into one another if you leave some room.

Take a spray bottle of water and squirt a small amount of water into the middle of each of the food coloring drops.

If you can still see white paper towel, the egg underneath will be white in that area, so keep spraying until the paper towel is completely full of color. Just so you know, the more water you spray, the less bright the color on the egg will be.

Gently squeeze the egg over the sink if there’s any extra water. Even if there isn’t, squeeze it gently anyway to make sure the colors on the paper towel transfer to the egg underneath.

You will need to leave them overnight to dry.

Ta-da! enjoy the texture from the paper towel which makes unique impressions on the eggs!

Use Rice for Speckled Eggs:

Place one cup of rice into seperate baggies and add 7-8 drops of food coloring into each bag.

Close the bag and mush the rice around so all the color mixes in well.

Open up and place a hardboiled egg inside. Close bag and shake it until you have your desired color.

Repeat step 2 until all the eggs are all colored. Do two or three colors or make a fun rainbow egg with all the colors.

Place back in carton or on paper towels to dry and store in refrigerator.
