Description
Step-by-step instructions for dyeing hard-boiled eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 hard-boiled egg
- Food coloring (according to instructions)
- 1 piece of fabric
- 1 rubber band
- 1 paper towel
Instructions
- Prepare the Dye. Mix your egg dye according to the instructions. I used food coloring, which can be very strong, so a little goes a long way.
- Wrap the Egg. Tightly wrap a piece of fabric around your egg. Secure it at the top with a rubber band. Make sure the fabric is pressed snugly against the shell – it helps create a clearer design.
- Dye the Egg. Dip the wrapped egg fully into the dye. Leave it for about 30 seconds – or even less if the dye is strong. The longer it sits, the deeper the color and the more it may blur the design.
- Dry the Egg. Remove the egg and gently pat it dry with a paper towel. Let it sit for about 2 minutes.
- Unwrap. Carefully cut away the fabric wrap.
- Final Dry. Pat dry again and let the egg rest for 3 more minutes.
- Repeat and Enjoy! Keep going with as many eggs as you like.
Notes
- Ensure the fabric is tightly wrapped for the best design.
- Adjust dye time based on desired color intensity.
