| So this is Egg Art? I love it and it's so much fun!!! I actually loved the look of these and the results were so easy, you have to try it! |
Boil eggs to hard boiled stage. Remove the eggs from the boiling water, gently crack each egg by tapping with the back side of a spoon. Too many cracks or too deeply cracked causes the colorant to get inside too easily and solid spots and color will appear everywhere. Take a towel, roll the egg under the palm of your hand to spread the cracks around the entire egg would be another method. You want a lot of crackling, but not deep cracks and you don't want to lose eggshell. Use as many colors as you want. You can also try tea, soy sauce, beet juice, dye from fruits, food colorings will all work. Sit eggs in the coloring for 10 minutes. Rinse in cool water. Then remove place on a paper towel to dry. Allow the kids or guests to remove the shell inside to enjoy their Egg Art... Happy Easter!
Note:
For the Dye instructions:Just boil 2 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar, add your colorant ( and simmer for 15 minutes. Place each egg into a deep style mug and pour the dye in.

Nice! Such a pretty, creative way to interest little ones in eating their eggs at Easter time, or any time for that matter.
Definitely art! These belong in a museum!

very neat. I don't think we have time to make eggs this year :-(
Such fun and pretty Easter eggs!
I think these are so so pretty! I've made them before and I can't get over how and egg can be so pretty!! lol ♥- Katrina
I think it was probably a health/safety issue at some point re: food dyes as well - being concerned with the inside being colored. Probably not so much nowadays, or if you use onion skins, beets, etc. for coloring. I love that you somehow managed to get a little Peace Sign on in your last shot on the egg on the left. :)
Clauda thanks for this timely post. They look so pretty ... I need to make some for Sunday ... I think I'll take the natural coloring route though as I'm trying to reduce if not eliminate these artificial colors. A very Happy Easter to you and all your family!
Very cool! This is my first Easter as a blogger and I'm going to have so much fun using all the cool egg coloring techniques I've seen this past week :) Thanks so much for sharing!
And to think of all the years I spent trying not to crack the eggs! This is so pretty and sweet. Happy Easter!
