you just have to have a good time to create some really fantastic Easter eggs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give your Easter eggs some real personality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to settle for Easter eggs that are just, well, eggs.\u00a0 Instead, you can add a face on to your Easter egg and give your Easter eggs some real personality.\u00a0 Create a dye by mixing together a little bit of red food coloring and little bit of yellow food coloring to create a great flesh tone color.\u00a0 Or, if you want a little darker flesh tone color, mix together a little bit of red food coloring, yellow food coloring, and green food coloring.\u00a0 Then use a little bit of paint to paint on a smile and some other facial features\u2014eyes, a nose, and so on and so forth.\u00a0 Paint on a bowtie, while you\u2019re at it, and add even more personality!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t limit yourself to just one color!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To create beautiful Easter eggs that have more than one color, add a very waxy crayon to your egg dyeing kit.\u00a0 In this circumstance, the waxier the crayon, the better.\u00a0 Draw on the egg with the crayon (use white) before you dye the egg.\u00a0 Whatever area you draw on will be protected from the dye.\u00a0 Begin by dipping your egg in a lighter colored dye, and then move to darker colors of dye.\u00a0 Make sure that you let each layer of dye dry completely before you move on to the next color of dye.\u00a0 You can draw on the egg in between each color, as well.\u00a0 After you are done, peel off the wax to reveal a truly stunning Easter egg!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that the Easter season means Easter eggs.\u00a0 And we all know exactly what Easter eggs mean:\u00a0 monochromatic, slightly pastel eggs that look exactly like the ones that you dyed fifteen or twenty years ago with the help &#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/easter\/crafts\/articles\/more-tips-for-dyeing-easter-eggs\/\">[Continue]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,42],"class_list":{"0":"post-145","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-articles","7":"tag-dyeing_easter_eggs","8":"tag-easter_eggs","9":"entry","10":"gs-1","11":"gs-odd","12":"gs-even","13":"gs-featured-content-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>More Tips for Dyeing Easter Eggs &#187;
