Every year since we were really little, my sister and I have dyed Easter eggs on the Saturday before Easter. We always try to get them done earlier, but an on-time family we are not. I love experimenting with the dyes and colors, and this year I decided to make ombre Easter eggs.
They’re fairly easy, but a little time-consuming. I did one quick dip of the full egg into the color first, to get a nice base coat. As I pulled them out of the dye with the egg-holder, I paused at intervals to get layered shades. The “bottom” of the egg that’s darkest was in the dye the longest. I like these eggs, at some point I’m going to attempt these again but with blown eggs instead of hard-boiled eggs– I’d like to be able to keep them!
And just for fun, Sam made some Easter eggs with Magic: the Gathering symbols on them. (He made the “black” egg by layering purple + green + orange dye, it came out pretty cool!)
make. craft. love.
