Instructions<\/h2><\/div>\n- Step 1<\/div>
If using store-bought dye, prepare according to package directions; if using natural dye, mix 1 teaspoon vinegar with 1\/4 teaspoon of food colouring. Pour the dye into 3\/4 of a cup of water, but be sure to use a cup or glass that is deep enough to cover the entire egg. Tip\u2014Use clear cups or glasses so you can see how the egg is dyeing, and if the colour needs to deepen.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>- Step 2<\/div>
Using tongs or a spoon, gently place the egg in the dye. Be careful not to drop the egg in, or the shell might hit the bottom of the cup and crack. You can also thread a thin wire through the holes in each end of the hollowed egg shell, bending the wire at one end so the egg won\u2019t slip off. Then, using the wire, you can dip the egg in the dye.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>- Step 3<\/div>
Completely submerge the egg in the dye until the desired colour, from 2 to 5 minutes. Remember, the longer you leave the egg in the dye, the deeper the colour will get.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>- Step 4<\/div>
Remove eggs from the dye and allow to dry before adding another colour or continuing to decorate. Tip\u2014Place eggs on a cake rack to allow them to dry quickly and evenly.<\/p>\n<\/div>
