Wrap the (cooled) hard-boiled eggs in rubber bands to create criss-cross patterns or simple stripes.
Step 2
Place each egg on a slotted or regular spoon and dunk in a dye container. Ensuring that all sides of the egg are covered.
Step 3
Keep the dyed egg in the liquid for up to 5 minutes. The longer you leave your egg in the dye bath, the more vivid the color will be.
Step 4
TIP: You could also dip only part of the egg in one color, then switch to another color to create a multi-colored effect!
Carefully remove the egg and set it aside to dry! Once the eggs are dry, you can apply other decorate elements to finish off the look!
