Looking to take your Easter egg game to the next level? Whether you’re keeping it classic or going full Pinterest-mode, we’ve got some creative tips to help you dye like a pro. 🎨🐣
If your pastel eggs are looking a little “meh,” try swapping out liquid dye for gel food coloring. It gives you vibrant, saturated hues that really pop. Just mix ½ tsp. of gel dye into hot water and dip away. Need a step-by-step? Check out the method over on All Things Mama for extra guidance.
You don’t need fancy tools to make designer eggs. Grab some rubber bands, stickers, or even lace from around the house. These items act as dye blockers, creating beautiful patterns and outlines once the egg is dipped. The result? One-of-a-kind creations that’ll wow your Easter guests.
If you’d rather save your creations than snack on them, try the blown egg method. It’s easier than it sounds — poke holes on both ends, blow out the contents (yes, really), and you’ve got a hollow egg ready for dyeing and displaying. Martha Stewart’s blog has a full how-to if you’re up for the challenge. You’ll need a rubber ear syringe.
Ditch the dip cups and break out the paintbrushes. Some egg kits include them, but you can also use any brushes you have on hand. Mix your food coloring with a little water and paint directly on the eggs — whether it’s flowers, landscapes, or your own abstract masterpiece. There are no mistakes, just happy little eggs. 🖌️
Pick up your dyeing supplies, eggs, and a few Easter treats while you’re at it. Whether you’re prepping for a neighborhood hunt or a quiet morning of crafting, we’ve got everything you need to keep your holiday egg-stra special.
The food is fresh. The fun is lagniappe.
