Designing Your Easter Egg

Boil, Boil, Boil your eggs first. Did I point out boiling the eggs? Should you not, the yolks can become hard, dry and green-tinged. Which makes for a very ugly egg, so boil all of them to begin with.

When coloring your egg, you can buy a coloring kit or make your own with food coloring. It depends on how adventurous you are and how much time you have.

To start with, cover up the table utilizing plastic or paper so the dyes don't stain the wood. Don't forget you have to have one cup for each color, more if you are planning on mixing up colors together. Soon after you paint the first coat, allow the egg ample amounts of time to dry prior to adding a second coat or design to the egg. Unfilled egg cartons can be used for drying out or a dish rack where you put plates out to dry out. Paper towels and rubber gloves are suggested, but they can assist with getting not as much stain all around the table and the kids.

After they are dry, apply design or second coat of color. If using design, find a myriad of unique stamps or stencils, flowers, pieces of wire, leaves, pine cones, and a lot of color. Make sure no two eggs are alike. The radiant colors of the eggs symbolize the sun rays of spring. Make your eggs sparkle with glitter or other shiny beads. Some kids like to color or design on a piece of paper and then cover the egg in the paper. It really is up to your own imagination as to what you can do with your egg.

Right after you get them designed, let them dry wholly and then hang them on your tree or get them hid in setting up for Easter. Store them away carefully for use with next year's fantastic creations.
