Step two: Bring water to a boil.
Step four: Drain water from pot. Let eggs cool in refrigerator for at least an hour.
Step five: Put dye tablets in cups and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to each.
Step six: Add 1/2 cup of water to each as well.
Step seven: Place the eggs you want colored into the dye. Leave eggs in the solution according to how dark you want them to be. The longer you leave them in the dye, the more intense they will look! We left ours in for about 20 seconds to achieve our favorite pastel look. Even try dipping the eggs in the other colors for an ombre effect!
Step eight: Let eggs dry.
Step nine: Prepare paint and brushes. Tip: Using unconventional brushes can be super cool!
Step ten: It's time to paint! Get crafty and think outside the box! For example, we used a pencil eraser to paint perfect dots. You may also want to try dipping a sponge in the paint for a cool speckled look.. You can paint whatever your little heart desires! Have some fun!
Voilà! Let your eggs dry and they will be ready to display in your home or be brought to family and friends in a festive basket. We're feeling springy-er already, aren't you?!
