When it comes to dyeing Easter eggs, it seems like there is nothing that you can really do wrong.\u00a0 All you do is dunk an egg in some water, vinegar, and food coloring, right?\u00a0 Well, the world of Easter eggs is actually much broader than what you may be acquainted with.\u00a0 Follow these tips to maximize your Easter egg dyeing experience:\u00a0 here are some great tips for dyeing your Easter eggs that will really help you create the most beautiful Easter eggs you have ever made.<\/p>\n
Tip one: <\/strong> you don\u2019t necessarily have to hard boil your eggs<\/p>\n Easter eggs are always hard boiled, right?\u00a0 Wrong!\u00a0 You can dye both hard boiled eggs and empty eggs.\u00a0 It depends on what you really want from your Easter eggs and what you really need based on your family.\u00a0 If you want a very sturdy egg that will hold up to an Easter egg hunt and that you can hide in trees and under bushes, then you will want to hard boil your Easter egg.\u00a0 Hard boiled eggs are better for little kids because they are much sturdier, are easier to dye because you don\u2019t have to worry as much about breaking them, and you can eat them afterwards.<\/p>\n However, if you want to keep your beautifully dyed Easter eggs for a longer period of time, then empty Easter eggs are the way to go.\u00a0 Empty eggs can be brought out year after year after year, which is a great option if you are creating true works of art, such as Polish-dyed Easter eggs.\u00a0 If you want to strengthen your Easter eggs, you can cover them with layers of paper towels or other paper that are stuck on to the egg with either white glue or a basic home made flour-and-water paste.<\/p>\n Tip two: <\/strong> how to handle the Easter eggs<\/p>\n Make sure that every body involved in the Easter egg festivities washes his or her hands in hot soapy water before they deal with the eggs and after they handle the eggs.\u00a0 This step is important even if the eggs have already been cooked and they have already been decorated!\u00a0 This step is important because you need to protect yourself from any bacteria that may be on the egg.\u00a0 In addition, you need to protect the eggshell from any oil that you have on your hands that may block the egg dye from sticking to the egg.<\/p>\n Speaking of handling eggs, one of the most difficult things about egg decorating is holding on to the egg while you are decorating it!\u00a0 Paas, the champions of egg dyeing accessories and dyes, manufactures a \u201cgrip n dip\u201d that helps you hold on to the egg so that you don\u2019t accidentally drop the egg.\u00a0 This particular egg dyeing accessory is great for little kids.<\/p>\n
