There were our Easter Eggs last year I love how bright and colorful they were. There was one technique we experimented with, that I think we will definitely do again this year.
Egg Stripes
Some more of our striped eggs
To make a striped egg, wrap rubber band tightly around the egg. Depending on how you wrap the egg, will determine how the stripe will turn out.
Dip the egg in the coloring. I like vibrant, colorful eggs, so I keep mine in the dye for a long time. Once the egg is dry, remove the rubber bands and see how the stripe turned out.
I also thought this egg was really pretty. It was dipped halfway in a color 3 times. First in the yellow on the bottom half. Green dye was uses for the top half but only for a minute since we wanted a pale color. The egg was then dipped halfway in the pink the long way to make the other 2 colors. I might also try this technique again and see what fun combinations I can come up with.
I love the stripes! I wouldn't have guessed how to do that :)
