Tie-Dye Easter Eggs

Psychedelic eggs add a fun, funky touch to a traditional basket. And the decorating techniqe is so simple, even the littlest egg artist can help.






Matirals needed:

• a colander




• 10 hard boiled white eggs




• 1/2 a cup of white vinegar




• Vibrant food coloring ( I suggest McCormick neon food coloring)

Instructions:

1. Place several hard boiled eggs in the colander in the kitchen sink and splash them with vinegar.
2. Drip Yellow food coloring on eggs.
3. Gently aggitate the colander for a few seconds to help the color spread. Let the color set on the eggs for 30 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with up to two shades (any more and your colors may get muddy), allowing each to set for 30 seconds.
5. After the colors have set, give the eggs a light rinse with water and let them drain for a minute or two. Air- dry them on paper towels.
