How to Color and Decorate Easter Eggs

There is nothing more fun than coloring Easter eggs! The only problem is finding great ways to color eggs without spending a fortune. That is one of the great things about the Internet because you can get great ideas to make the best Easter eggs on your block.

Prepare the Eggs for Coloring and Decorating

  • Hard Boiling Your Eggs
    If your eggs don't always come out done just right be sure to use this recipe for perfectly done eggs everytime.
  • Blow Out Your Eggs
    Removing the inside of the egg can be difficult. Here are instructions to make the job a little easier.

Easter Egg Coloring Safety
Don't let fun turn into a disaster! Be sure to read all about Egg Safety.

Prepare the Dye for Egg Coloring
You either buy an egg dying kit or you can make your own dye from food coloring or natural items.

  • Make Your Own Easter Egg Dye from Food Colors
    To make your own dye gather together enough cups for each color you want to create and that are big enough to hold the liquid dye and a submerged egg. Mix 2/3 cup of water and 2 tsp. distilled vinegar and food coloring in each cup. Add food coloring one drop at a time until you obtain the desired color (about a 1/4 tsp or about 24 drops of food coloring). Be sure to completely cool this mixture before allowing children to use it.
    Experiment with creating colors. Here are some ideas to create different colors with the four colors (red, blue, green, yellow) that you usually get in food coloring packages.
    • Orange - mix about 10 drops of red with about 15 drops of yellow
    • Turquoise - mix about 5 drops green with about 20 drops of blue
    • Violet - mix about 12 drops red with about 12 drops blue

  • Make Your Own Easter Egg Dye from Natural Items

Coloring the Easter Eggs
Allow your eggs to sit in the dye mixture about two to five minutes depending how deep you want the color. Here are some ideas to make neat eggs:

  • Before dipping the eggs in the dye, use a wax crayon and draw on the egg. Where ever you write on the egg, the egg will remain white.
  • Get a assortment of rubber bands and put them on the egg. The egg will remain white under the rubber bands. You can also use masking tape to keep areas of the egg white.
