Reduce the heat and simmer for ten minutes. Remove from the heat completely and add very cold water to stop the cooking process.

]]> 27010 2 52 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/52.jpg Cover up Put newspapers over your table or workspace so you don’t get dye on it, and change into something you won’t mind getting stained. Decorating Easter eggs can get messy!

]]> 27011 3 62 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/62.jpg Ready the dye Fill some large paper cups halfway with hot water. Then add a teaspoon of vinegar and the dye tablets, which will dissolve. Don’t have dye tablets? Add one teaspoon of food coloring into each cup of water and vinegar.

]]> 27012 4 76 Tip Try natural dyes. In a pan, arrange the eggs in a single layer and cover them with water. For red, add fresh beets; blue, canned blueberries; yellow, ground turmeric; green, fresh spinach. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15 minutes.

]]> 27013 5 94 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/94.jpg Make your mark Write or draw something on the egg with a white wax crayon before putting it into the cup. The wax resists the dye, so once the egg is colored, you’ll clearly see what you wrote.

]]> 27014 6 105 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/105.jpg Add stripes Put electrical tape around the egg, or simply put a rubber band—or several—around it before placing in the cups. When it’s dyed, remove the tape or rubber bands and you’ll have fun stripes!

]]> 27015 7 118 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/118.jpg Make patterns Add some stickers or brush some rubber cement onto the egg before you place it in the dye. When you remove the egg, simply peel off the stickers or hardened rubber cement and you’ll get interesting, creative patterns.

]]> 27016 8 131 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/131.jpg Dye it Place an egg into each cup. Leave it in for five to 20 minutes or as long as it takes to achieve your desired look. The longer it soaks, the darker it will be.

]]> 27017 9 142 Tip Add a teaspoon or so of vegetable oil into some of the cups of dye. The oil prevents the dye from sticking to certain spots on the egg, so when you remove it you get interesting designs and patterns.

]]> 27018 10 153 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/153.jpg Remove Using an egg dipper, slotted spoon, or tongs, take the eggs out of the cups and place them in an empty egg carton to dry.

]]> 27019 11 161 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2567/161.jpg Enjoy Hide your eggs for an egg hunt, put them in baskets, or simply peel your new creations and enjoy!

]]> 27020 12 169 Fact Dyeing Easter eggs started as a pagan ritual symbolizing fertility.
