dress
up your eggs
Solid
colors too ho-hum for your tastes? Fancy up your eggs with these
simple tricks:
- Make
marbled/speckled eggs by using the cold dye method, and adding
a splotch of cooking oil to the cooled dye. Pop in the egg
and let it sit until it’s reached a shade you like.
- Collect
flowers or leaves (it’s best to make sure said materials aren’t
poisonous if you’re planning on eventually eating your eggs);
arrange these elements on your egg, and secure in place by
wrapping the whole thing in a bit of cut-up pantyhose. Tie
up the pantyhose with some string, and proceed to hot-dye.
- Wrap small
rubber bands around your eggs before cold-dying them, to get
decorative lines.
- Removed
the freshly dyed egg from the liquid and blot with a sponge
for a textured look.
- Buff 'em
up: once you’ve finished dying your eggs and letting them dry,
dab some cooking oil on a paper towel and rub over the eggs
to shine them up.
