How To Dye And Decorate Easter Eggs
We loved dyeing and decorating Easter eggs as kids! We usually had the old fashioned kit with the Paas dye tablets that you drop into vinegar. Nowadays we make our own Easter egg dyes using food coloring. It’s easy because you can use stuff you probably already have in your kitchen. And it’s fun because you can mix your own colors!
In this video lesson, we’ll show you how to make your own Easter egg dye using food coloring. We’ll share tips on what to use as a dipper to set the eggs in the dye bath. We experimented a lot and figured out how long to leave the eggs in the dye bath. (Longer is not better!) And we have a trick to dry the eggs without leaving any marks.
We’ve also included our favorite way to decorate Easter eggs which is using crayon resist. We’ll show you how to draw on the eggs with crayons, dye them, then remove the crayon. It looks so pretty!
Finally we’ll show you a trick to make all your Easter eggs really shine. It’s Vaseline!
Here’s a written how-to plus our recipe for boiling eggs.

How To Dye And Decorate Easter Eggs
Materials
Hard-boiled eggs
Food coloring: red, yellow, green, blue
White vinegar
Water
Crayons
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline)
Tools
Cups for dye, one for each color
Wire egg-dipper, bacon tongs, or pasta fork
Measuring cup
Tablespoon
Craft sticks or Popsicle sticks
Kitchen timer
Bottle caps
Plastic tablecloth
Paper towels
Steps
1. To make the dye, pour ½ cup room-temperature water and 3 tablespoons vinegar into a cup. Add 20 drops of red food coloring and stir with a Popsicle stick. Repeat to make yellow, green, and blue dyes, using a new cup and Popsicle stick for each color.
2. To mix a new color, like orange, follow the recipe in step 1 but use 10 drops of red food coloring and 10 drops of yellow food coloring. Stir with a Popsicle stick.
3. To dye the eggs, place a cooled, hard-boiled egg into one of the dyes using tongs (or any other egg dipper tool). Leave the egg in the dye for 1-2 minutes to get a light color or 3 minutes to get a more vibrant color. Turn the egg with the Popsicle stick occasionally so the egg dyes evenly. Remove the egg with the tongs and place it on a bottle cap (face the open end of the bottle cap up). Let the egg dry.
4. To decorate the eggs using crayon resist, draw all over a white, yellow, or other light-colored egg with a crayon, making swirls, dots, stripes, or zigzags. (Be careful not to press so hard that you crack your egg!) Place the egg in a different color dye (use a darker color for the second dye bath for best results.) Leave the egg in the dye for 2 minutes, then remove from the dye and place on a bottle cap to dry.
5. To polish the eggs, smear petroleum jelly all over the surface. Gently buff the egg with a paper towel until the crayon wipes away and your design shows through. Use this same technique to polish solid-colored eggs.
Egg-cellent Colors
Vinegar in the dye will give you bright colors. For more traditional colors use lemon juice instead. Or for very light pastels, try adding the food coloring to just plain water.
How To Hard Boil Eggs
1. Place eggs in a saucepan or pot. Cover the eggs with water and heat until the water boils.
2. Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Cool the eggs by running them under cold water. Dry the eggs. (Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.)
