Unique ways to dye Easter eggs

Supplies:

• Hard-boiled eggs
• Tub of whipped cream
• Liquid food coloring
• Glass baking dish
• Vinegar

Directions:

1. Soak the hard-boiled eggs in vinegar for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. While the eggs are soaking, spread a layer of whipped cream in the bottom of a glass baking dish.
3. Drop droplets of liquid food coloring over the top of the whipped cream. Use a straw or a toothpick to swirl the food coloring into the whipped cream.
4. Remove the eggs from the vinegar, then place them on top of the whipped cream.
5. Roll the eggs around until they are completely covered by the whipped cream, then let the eggs sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
6. Remove the eggs from the whipped cream and rinse them off with cold water to reveal the design underneath.

Supplies:

• Hard-boiled eggs
• Sharpie pens
• Rubbing alcohol
• Spray bottle

Directions:

1. Pour some rubbing alcohol into a small spray bottle.
2. Color a design on the outside of the hard-boiled egg with a Sharpie.
3. Working quickly, before the Sharpie has had a chance to set, spray it lightly with the rubbing alcohol. The colors will bleed and spread across the egg.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the egg is completely covered with the Sharpie dye.

Supplies:

• Hard-boiled eggs
• Tissue paper*
• Paintbrush
• Water

Directions:

1. Use the paintbrush to wet the outside of the hard-boiled egg.
2. Wrap the egg tightly in a sheet of tissue paper.
3. Paint the outside of the tissue paper with water until the tissue paper is completely saturated.
4. Let the eggs sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove the tissue paper to reveal the design underneath.

*Not all tissue paper will work for this project. Choose a tissue paper that will "bleed" when wet.
