Good afternoon Dear friends The bright holiday of Easter will come very soon. And you will need to decorate the table with Easter cakes and eggs. If we have sorted out the Easter cakes a bit, we haven’t figured out the eggs yet. A note on how.
And so now let's talk about ways to paint eggs. Eggs have been painted, painted and decorated for Easter for a very long time, but the real dawn and flight of thought can only be realized today when a lot of different food dyes have appeared.
In this article, we will look at several sure-fire ways to beautifully color eggs for Easter. And of course you need to prepare in advance as you need to collect all the ingredients. For example, there is not always a box with onions in the apartment and collecting onion peels in the right quantity is not so easy. In general, we will analyze everything in detail further.
Once, while looking through my wall on VK, I came across this post about painting eggs with natural dyes. All dyes are natural without added chemicals. And the colors will pleasantly surprise you.
I’ll tell you a little more about the use of natural or natural dyes, but a little later, but for now let’s look at a small reminder about determining the freshness of eggs. 
Well, we checked the eggs for freshness and left the results in the comments. And we move on to food coloring. Which are sold before Easter at every turn. 
These are the four packages you will find inside the main package. 
Small packets may contain either tablets or ready liquid. It is, of course, better to wear gloves when working with these paints. No, not because the paint is harmful, but so as not to get dirty. 
We select the first few beauties from the boiled eggs and dilute the paint according to the instructions. One can for each paint.
Most of the instructions are similar to those on my bags, the instructions stated that boiled eggs need to be washed well in soda solution(for half a liter of water, 1 tablespoon of baking soda). Paints should only be diluted in warm water. For 1 paint, half a glass of water is enough, but you will also need to pour in a tablespoon of 9% vinegar. Prepare the dye and dip the egg in it for 5-6 minutes. Carefully remove the field with a spoon and place on a plate to dry. 
Just like you, I'm real creative person and it occurred to me to mix paints to get new color. For example, if you mix blue and yellow you get a turquoise color. Try it, maybe you will succeed. Or maybe you want to mix other colors. Write in the comments below the article what happened for you.
After the paint dries, it will no longer get dirty so much. And you can try decorating the eggs with beautiful stickers. Thank God they are also not a problem to buy. 
And if you want to make an egg not of one color, but of several. Try to dip the egg not completely into the paint, but only a small part of it. 
You can use wax to color eggs halfway. We rub wax on the part of the egg that we will not paint. We dip it in paint and the shell does not change color under the wax. This will make it easier for you to make colorful eggs. 
If you have children in your family, be sure to invite them to help with coloring the eggs. But don’t leave them to their own devices, after all, this is the kitchen. 
And this is how you can paint eggs using a regular whisk. 
Try putting (boiled) eggs in a colander, dropping a few dyes into the water and stirring with a spatula. The output is all intricate colors. 
You can also wrap a boiled egg in a regular paper napkin and drip paint on several sides. Then leave the egg in a napkin for 5-10 minutes so that the paint is properly embedded in the shell. 
This is what beauty can turn out. Almost a marble egg without much effort. 
You can decorate an egg for Easter without dyes. It is enough to take a special thermal film, put it on a (boiled) egg and lower it for 5-7 seconds. In boiling water, the high temperature causes the film to narrow and take the shape of an egg. 
As you can see, there is no particular difficulty here. Everything is easy and simple and you don’t need to get your hands dirty and you don’t need to dilute the paint with boiling water and that’s it.
Painting eggs in onion skins
This is the oldest and the most impossible to eat traditional method or a way to paint eggs. Our grandmothers painted peas like this even under the Tsar. 
The colors come out natural and there are no chemicals. Despite the large abundance of dyes, everyone in every family dyed and will dye eggs in onions every year, as this is part of a tradition that no one wants to give up. But there is one drawback to painting eggs in onions, you will need to separate the pan as the dishes can also become stained.
For a good rich color, take 3-4 parts of husk to one part of water. Just painting eggs with onions is not our thing. Need to do this with creative approach. So read on. 
To creatively color eggs, take the following:
- 1 tablespoon salt.
Nylon stocking.
Green leaves (dill, parsley, dandelion, cilantro, etc.)
A skein of thread.
Vegetable oil.
Painting process.
We take raw eggs as they need to be boiled in their shells for at least 40 minutes.
We attach a leaf to the egg. Cut a piece from the stocking and carefully place the egg in the stocking. We press the leaf to the egg and wrap the stocking with threads. It should look something like this. 
Fill the husk with water and place it on the stove. 
Add salt and when the water begins to boil, lower the workpiece into the husk. 
Cook for 30-40 minutes. Then we take it out and if there is a second batch, cook the second one, and let the first one cool. 
Once the eggs have cooled a little, remove the stockings, remove the leaves and grate the eggs vegetable oil. After which the testicles will acquire a beautiful shine. 
You can also color eggs using food coloring using this method.
How to paint eggs so they look like marble
If you want to surprise old housewives or girlfriends with your painted eggs, then take a longer look. So, it’s very rare that anyone paints eggs; they do everything according to the classics and no one wants to bother further, but there’s practically no hassle here.
Required.
- Eggs.
- Onion peel.
- Zelenka.
- Water.
- Pot.
Painting process.
The method is similar to the classic one, but with minor additions. 
Take a raw egg, dip it in water and roll it over the onion peel so that it sticks to the egg. Then wrap it in a stocking or bandage. Pour plain water into a saucepan, add a spoonful of salt and place on the stove. As soon as the water starts to boil, lower the eggs, pour in the brilliant greens and cook the eggs for 30-40 minutes. After draining the water, let it cool and remove everything unnecessary.
This is what happened for me, and the same should happen for you. 
The drawing turns out to be simply unusual. And the most interesting thing is that no two eggs are the same, they are all different.
We dye eggs with natural products
Well, now let's turn to natural dyes. Which are found in food products. 
It is important when using such paints to be sure to add a little vinegar. It will fix the paints and make the colors more saturated.
1. Color eggs using turmeric. She will give you yellow color. We will discuss how to color eggs with turmeric below.
2. If you want to paint eggs bright orange, then carrots will help you. Take carrot juice and drop an egg into it. The color saturation will depend on the time the egg has been in the carrot juice.
3. Have you ever colored eggs in beet juice? I recommend trying it. True, the process is too long. You need to keep the boiled egg in beet juice for at least 8-10 hours. But only you will have raspberry eggs. 
4. One more long way coloring in red cabbage. We also squeeze out the juice and soak the boiled eggs in it for 8-10 hours. 
5. Even tea and coffee will help us color the eggs. Brew the tea stronger and keep the egg in the brew for 2-3 hours. Then remove and get tea-colored eggs. By the way, you can dye not only in black tea. 
You can make it beautiful green color To do this, take a bunch of spinach, chop it and put it in a pan with water. Place on the stove and cook the eggs in it until the desired color is obtained.
This is what you can achieve with patience. As an author, I will boast about my achievements. 
Emerald eggs for Easter
Consider this option for coloring eggs. The video shows all the steps; it is possible that this particular method will be more understandable to you.
How to dye eggs without dyes using turmeric
It’s not for nothing that this painting method is gaining popularity. After all, the result is so good that you can’t even believe that it’s all a natural color.
Stir 1 tablespoon of turmeric into 250 ml of warm water, let the turmeric dissolve for 2-3 minutes and put on fire. Add eggs and cook for 30-40 minutes. 
You can also use the method with stockings or husks before throwing in the eggs.
Dyed eggs in fabric
Let's continue to create and wonder, now we'll try to paint eggs using a tie. No, of course, we won’t completely spoil our husband’s favorite tie, we’ll just take it and cut off a small piece.))) For this method, any colorful silk fabric will do, you can also take colorful cotton. 
We take a beautiful piece of fabric, wrap an egg in it and wrap it with thread. Next, put it in a saucepan with water and cook for 15-20 minutes. Don't forget to add 1 tablespoon of vinegar per 1 liter of water. The result surprised even me. 
Instead of fabric, you can take any material with a mesh and wrap the egg in it. We cook such eggs in any dye and get unusual results. 
Coloring eggs for Easter in a napkin
The technology is quite young and little known. To me, this looks more like a hand-made, full-fledged craft for the holiday, rather than jelly for painting an egg.
You will need the following set:
Eggs.
Napkins.
PVA glue
Brush.
Scissors.
Production process.
A pattern is cut out from a colorful napkin. The napkin is disassembled into layers. 
Apply a layer of glue to the egg with a brush. Then the cut out design is carefully applied. 
Coat the drawing on top thin layer glue. You can apply several designs on one egg. Afterwards you need to let the glue dry. 
It turns out very beautiful. I remind you that we paint already boiled eggs.
We dye eggs using improvised materials at home
As you know, Easter cakes are decorated with icing and beautiful sprinkles, and why not decorate eggs with this sprinkle. 
This is not a tricky thing, and the results will wonderfully surprise you. In order to glue the sprinkles onto the egg, you don’t even need special glue; the same eggs will help us. 
Take the white, dip a boiled egg into it, grease it well on all sides, then roll it in the powder. 
You can also use office glue, but there is no point in eating it since the glue will easily penetrate to the edible part of the egg through the pores in the shell. Of course, when using this technique, you can decorate eggs not only with powder, but also with various cereals. 
For example, look at how funny an egg you get if you use cereal. 
Well, since we are headed in this direction, you can also decorate eggs using nail polish. You really need to wear gloves to avoid getting your hands dirty. Take a glass of water and pour some nail polish different color draw a small pattern and dip the egg into it. But I remind you once again that it is not recommended to eat such eggs. 
Try coloring eggs with markers. Markers are very suitable for these purposes. water based. And if you show a little imagination and draw eyes on the eggs, you can create a whole army. 
If you are interested in the idea of eyes, look for them on store shelves. 
You can buy ready-made eyes and use them to create minions like these. Look how cute they are, right?
So I think now you are completely ready to paint eggs for the Easter holidays. Congratulations on the upcoming Bright Sunday of Christ. Christ is Risen!!!
I offer you several ways to color Easter eggs.
Easter eggs are a significant attribute of Easter, along with and. We have already prepared all this and even one.
Today we will look at and prepare painted Easter eggs for the celebration.
There are probably a hundred or even more ways to dye eggs.
We will look at some of the most interesting and simple ones.
How to paint eggs for Easter. Coloring Easter eggs step by step with photos
First you need to prepare the eggs. This is very important for the eggs to be beautiful.
Menu:
How to prepare eggs for Easter painting
Preparation:
1. It is best to buy white eggs because they take paint better. Eggs must be washed thoroughly.
Usually the eggs are marked with a mark, date of release, and other things. This mark must be washed off, because it will show through any paint.
If it does not wash off with a sponge and warm water, try it with baking soda powder and, as a last resort, table vinegar. This will not cause any harm to the egg, because we act on it in this way for a short time.
Do not press too hard on the egg. Since it is raw, it may crack. The egg must be washed thoroughly. Because only on a clean egg will the paint lie in an even layer.
3. And one more trick. A cotton pad should be moistened with alcohol (if you don’t have alcohol at home, use 9% table vinegar) and wipe the eggs with it. This is to remove grease stains from the eggs from your fingers. We process all the eggs in this way.
Do not forget! When processing eggs, they should be at room temperature.
4. Place the eggs in a saucepan and add a couple of tablespoons of salt to prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking. And fill it up cold water so that the eggs are completely covered.
By the way, can you tell old eggs from fresh ones? When we fill them with water, the old egg floats to the top, while the fresh egg remains at the bottom.
5. Let the eggs cook. We will cook on low heat. Of course we will boil it hard-boiled. After they boil, you need to cook for another 7-10 minutes if the eggs are store-bought. If the eggs are fresh village eggs, you need to cook them longer, after boiling for 13-15 minutes.
Don’t forget, when you take the boiled eggs out of the boiling water, be sure to dip them in it for a while. ice water, this is so that they can be cleaned better later. Just don't refrigerate it at all. The eggs should be warm when painting.
Well, we've cooked the eggs. Now let's move on to their coloring.
How to paint beautiful eggs for Easter
1. Take a hard-boiled egg, wipe it again with alcohol or vinegar and wrap it in a paper napkin or paper towel, do not try to wrap the egg evenly, just wrap it randomly, as if you were crumpling a napkin (do not press too hard, crush the egg).
Pour a little vinegar, as if getting wet, from all sides. Press the napkin (crimp) more tightly onto the egg.
2. Take blue dye and randomly drip it onto the egg. Let the dye spread a little.
3. Take another dye, yellow. Also, in a chaotic manner, apply it to the egg.
4. Take the third dye, ours is red, and just like the first two, apply it to the egg.
5. Squeeze the egg with your palms so that the napkin sticks well to the shell. In this case, the napkin turns out to be one-color, evenly colored.
6. Before painting the egg, we need to make a stand for it. We take an ordinary sponge, stick English needles into it the size of an egg and that’s it, our stand is ready.
7. Place our egg in a napkin with dyes on a stand and let it dry a little.
8. After a couple of minutes, the egg has dried, carefully remove the napkin from it, trying not to smudge the paint.
We got such a rainbow colored egg. Place the egg on our homemade stand again and let it dry completely.
How to dye Easter eggs to make them multicolored
1. We will need small but deep plastic dishes. Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into each of them.
2. Pour the dye into each of the dishes, a little at first, and then you can adjust it after diluting the dyes with water.
3. Dilute the dyes with water. You don’t need a lot of water, about less than half. You will understand when you see what we will do.
4. Take an egg and dip it 1/3 into the dye. We hold it for about 2 minutes.
5. Take out the egg and blot a drop from below. Leave the egg to dry a little on our homemade stand. Since our egg is warm, it dries out quite quickly.
6. When the egg is dry, dip it into the next dye, again about 1/3, for 2 minutes. We take it out, also blot the droplet at the bottom and set it to dry.
7. Dip the remaining uncolored part of the egg into the third dye. We take it out, not forgetting to wipe the droplet from below, and set it to dry.
This is the colorful egg we got.
How to paint Easter eggs with polka dots
1. Prepare two paints in plastic cups, yellow and blue, a candle, cotton wool on sticks and an egg cup. If you still have paints from previous painting, you can use them. We light a candle. we need melted wax.
2. Dip the egg completely into yellow dye. Let's let it lie there for a couple of minutes, take it out and put it on a stand to dry.
3. The egg has dried out. Take a cotton swab, dip it in the melted wax and randomly apply dots of wax onto the egg with the stick. You can come up with something of your own. Inscription, figures, stripes, etc.
4. Literally let the wax dry for 10-15 seconds and add the egg to the second paint. Ours is blue. You can take any one you like. Let the egg sit in the paint for 2 minutes.
5. Remove from the dye, place on a stand, and let dry. Basically the egg is ready. We can leave it like this.
6. If you want to remove wax from an egg, warm it up a little next to a candle, in no case above the egg, just next to it. The wax melts and can be easily removed with a napkin.
How to paint eggs for Easter with color transition
We will need an egg and dye of the same color.
1. Pour just a little dye into a plastic cup so that it only covers the tip of the egg a little more than a centimeter and lower the egg there vertically with the blunt end down. Leave it like this for 2 minutes.
2. Then use a spoon to add a little more coloring. Depending on how large the egg is and how many rings you want to make of different intensities of color on the egg, calculate how much paint you need to add. We added about 1 cm at a time. We also left it for a couple of minutes.
3. Add more dye and also leave for 2 minutes. And so on until we cover the entire egg, leaving the egg in the dye for 2 minutes after each layer.
After covering the egg completely with dye, let it stand for 2 minutes, remove it from the dye and place it on our stand to dry.
As we can see, all the stripes on the egg are visible. The egg turned out beautiful, with a gradually weakening tone of paint towards the top.
How to paint striped eggs for Easter
1. Pre-color the egg blue. Next we need electrical tape. Cut off 20-25 centimeters of electrical tape and cut the electrical tape lengthwise into narrow strips.
2. Place the tape on the egg in a spiral. You can stick it however you like. You can also make the strip of electrical tape any width you want. In this way we cover the entire egg. Press the tape firmly against the egg so that there are no smudges.
3. This is what we got, covered with electrical tape. We dip it in the pre-prepared red dye, as always, for a couple of minutes. We take out the egg, put it on a stand and let it dry.
4. Our egg has dried, remove the electrical tape. As you can see, there is a blue color left under the electrical tape.
We got this striped egg in a simple way.
Mosaic coloring Easter egg
1. We cut a lot of corners from electrical tape and now stick them on the egg, which was previously painted yellow. We try to glue the corners in the shape of a mosaic. Between the corners we make a gap of approximately 2 millimeters. We lay the corners in random order.
2. This is the glued egg we got. Dip it in red dye to get a roughly orange color.
3. Remove from the dye and place on a stand to dry.
This is the egg we got. Now all that remains is to remove the electrical tape.
How to dye Easter eggs in onion skins
1. We will need onion peels, preferably from red and yellow onions. Eggs with already defatted shells. If you have not degreased them yet, wipe them with alcohol or vinegar. Squares of gauze measuring approximately 20 x 20 cm. Threads for tying gauze, a saucepan. There is a problem with the saucepan. After cooking onion skins, the pan is very difficult to wash, so choose a pan that is not needed or that you paint in every year. Or you will paint it.
2. For decoration, we will add various leaves and figures cut out of parchment so that the eggs are not so boring.
3. The husks need to be placed in a pan and mashed to crush. The size of the pan and the amount of peeling depends on how many eggs you want to dye. Fill the husk with water and put it on the stove to cook for 1-1.5 hours.
4. We begin to prepare the eggs. Take gauze, put a piece of paper on it, front side up, carefully straighten all the tips of the leaf. Place an egg on a piece of paper. Carefully gather all the ends of the gauze into a pile and tighten it, pressing the leaf firmly against the egg. We twist the collected ends of the gauze into a tourniquet, then pull the leaf to the egg and tie it with threads.
5. We also make the following eggs. You can even lay out some composition of leaves on gauze. Place the egg in the center and tighten the gauze again. And here are the figures from parchment paper, it’s best to dip them in water so that they stick to the egg, and then put the egg in cheesecloth and also gently tighten.
6. Add salt to the boiling onion skins and place the eggs there.
7. Cover them all completely with husks and let them cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat. Remember that the eggs must be at room temperature, otherwise they will burst.
8. We take the eggs out of the husks and transfer them immediately into cold water to make them easier to clean later.
We cut off the gauze, rinse it with water and see how beautiful it is.
To make the eggs shiny, brush them with vegetable oil. The most convenient way to do this is by pouring a little oil onto cotton pads.
Well, the eggs are ready. They are perhaps not inferior in beauty to painted eggs.
Original DIY Easter eggs
We took:
- Eggs - 12 pcs.
- Water - 2 liters
- Vinegar - 2 or 3 tbsp.
- Silk fabric (with different patterns)
- Any white fabric
- Rubber bands
1. To color the eggs, we took unnecessary men's silk ties, of which we had a lot. If you don't have unnecessary ties, just take pieces of multi-colored silk.
2. We cut the fabric into squares. Take the egg and place it on the front side of the silk fabric.
3. Wrap tightly so that the fabric does not move around the egg. We twist the resulting tail of the fabric at the top, thus tightening the egg even tighter.
4. Place the same piece of white fabric on top of the colored fabric. We also curl the tail. We secure everything by putting an elastic band on the tail, twisting it several times. We do the same with all eggs.
5. When all the eggs are prepared, put them in a saucepan.
6. Fill with water, add vinegar and put on fire. After the water boils, cook for another 15 minutes. Turn down the heat so they don't jump around in the pan. If only they would slowly boil.
7. After 15 minutes, take out the eggs and place them on a dish. Leave on a plate until completely cooled.
8. When the eggs have cooled completely, remove the elastic bands and unfold the fabric. Look at the beauty that appears from under the fabric. In this way we unwrap all the eggs.
These are the most beautiful eggs we got. Surprise your friends. Enjoy yourself.
Very beautiful Easter eggs
1. Take hard-boiled eggs, ordinary colored napkins and egg white. We tear the napkin into 4 parts. Separate the top colored layer from the napkins.
2. Dip the egg into the white and swirl to moisten the entire area of the egg. Place the egg on the wrong side of the napkin and wrap it. We tear off the excess napkin.
3. Dip the brush into the white and grease the egg on top, thus distributing the napkin evenly over the entire egg, while simultaneously pressing the napkin more tightly to the shell.
4. Everything is carefully distributed, the egg is ready. We make all the eggs in the same way. You can take different napkins. Accordingly, the eggs will be different.
Enjoy!
11. Video - 5 ways to decorate eggs for Easter in an original way
Good day everyone! The approaching Easter holiday, Bright Sunday of Christ, is one of the most beloved Christian holidays. Solemn, bright and joyful, it symbolizes the salvation of the world and soul, the possibility of eternal life. Easter comes at the end of winter, when nature awakens. For Orthodox Russians, Easter is associated not only with the end of Lent and with the Easter festive church service, but also with a special Easter table. For experienced housewives The preparation period is already in full swing. Recipes are collected and carefully copied, and egg dyes are selected.
Painted eggs are an invariable attribute of the approaching Easter. They decorate the table, they are given to each other with the words “Christ is Risen!”, and we can no longer imagine this bright spring holiday without colored eggs.
The tradition of painting eggs appeared in ancient times, long before the advent of Christianity, and carries a mythical and sacred meaning. Our distant ancestors believed that the world hatched from an egg. They gave him sacred properties. It served as a talisman, helped in the treatment of infertility, and protected the home and family.
Previously, Easter eggs were painted exclusively red, as it symbolizes the blood shed on the cross, but then they moved away from strict canons. It is now possible to color and decorate eggs various colors, methods and techniques. It all depends on people's tastes and preferences.
Have you already decided what and how you will decorate your Easter eggs? Today I want to invite you to consider some options for painting these holiday attributes and hope that you will find something new and interesting for yourself.
If you have children, be sure to involve them in this process. This is both useful and entertaining and educational at once.
How to paint eggs for Easter with your own hands?
On the eve of the great Easter celebrations, almost every home traditionally makes beautiful and symbolic attributes of this bright spring holiday - Easter eggs. Making them beautiful with your own hands is not as difficult as many might imagine. To color eggs, you can buy special food dyes, decorating kits, paints or markers for painting, stickers, iron-on adhesives, napkins, or use the recipes of our great-grandmothers, gifts of Mother Nature, that is, natural dyes.
The most common coloring method is using special food coloring. To do this, you just need to buy the dyes that are suitable for you, which are sold in any supermarket and, following the instructions, make everything come true.
When using this method, keep the following tips and cautions in mind:
- Be careful when dyeing eggs, as dyes are difficult to remove from clothing.
- The longer you keep the eggs in the food coloring solution, the brighter they will turn out. Start with a few minutes, then increase the coloring time. This will be a great experiment for the kids!
- To make it easier for you to dip the eggs into the dyes, use a kitchen whisk. This simple idea will help you and your children keep their hands and clothes cleaner.
There is another interesting way to color eggs using food coloring and wax. The idea is that you rub some part of the egg with wax, dip it in the dye and it is colored only in the part where there is no wax. This way you can create similar patterns.
For those who know how to draw well, you can make murals with food paints or permanent markers. Moreover, the painting will look great both on painted eggs and on simply boiled eggs.
The most basic and least labor-intensive way to decorate easter eggs is using regular or thermal stickers. To do this, you just need to buy stickers, put them on boiled eggs and put them in boiling water for a few seconds.
The most common method, perhaps, remains painting with natural dyes. You can use the following cheat sheet as a basis.
We will discuss the methods of painting eggs in more detail below, but now I would like to give you some tips on preparing them for coloring.
- To prevent the eggs from bursting during cooking, they must be removed from the refrigerator an hour in advance so that they reach room temperature.
- Before painting, paints must be washed with soapy water or alcohol, then the paint will lie evenly.
- Add a spoonful of salt to the water or solution where the eggs will be boiled. This way, even from a cracked shell, the contents will not spill out.
- If you want the paints to have a shiny appearance, rub them with vegetable oil after painting.
After you have prepared the material and chosen the most suitable suitable way, you can start creating a masterpiece.
Step-by-step painting in onion skins
The most traditional and time-tested method of coloring eggs is considered to be a decoction of onion peels. The more raw materials you can collect, the brighter the finished color will be. For a beautiful rich red Brown eggs, you need to collect the peels from 6 large onions. If you don't like such a rich color, you can collect less husks and then the finished product will be light yellow or light brown. It all depends on the variety and color of the onion peel. I will show you how to achieve a rich red-brown color.
1. Fill the husk with water and boil for 20 minutes, then strain - the solution for coloring is ready.
2. Add 2 tbsp to the cooled broth. l. vinegar, place the prepared eggs there and cook for 7-10 minutes. Please note that the egg must be completely immersed in the liquid and it must not boil.
3. Carefully remove the eggs with a spoon and place them on a paper towel to cool. Cooled and dry paints can be greased with vegetable oil.
4. If the resulting color seems insufficiently saturated to you, return the eggs to the broth and keep them there until you get the color you want.
In onion peel with patterns
This method is for those who want to get a little creative with their paints. We will use the same decoction of onion peels, but we will use flowers and herbs as stencils to create beautiful designs.
For a more golden color of the finished product, I recommend using red and yellow onion skins.
To create designs, you can use anything: from dill leaves, parsley, fern, to flower petals or flowers. The possibilities are endless.
To color eggs we will need:
- Red and yellow onion peels - from 6-7 onions
- Vinegar - 2 tbsp. l.
- Water - 2-3 tbsp.
- Herbs and flowers
- Nylon stocking
Stages of work:
1. Cut the nylon stocking into 15 x 15 cm squares.
2. Wet small sprigs of dill, parsley, blades of grass or flowers and attach them to the eggs. Then carefully place each egg in a separate nylon blank, wrap tightly and tie the ends with thread.
Before you start cooking the onion skins, soak them in cold water for a few hours or overnight. Thanks to this, the eggs will color faster, and the color will be more beautiful and vibrant.
3. Add vinegar to a container with pre-soaked onion peels and put on fire. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
4. Add the prepared eggs to boiling water and boil for 8-10 minutes. After this time, the eggs can be placed on a napkin or you can leave them to cool in onion broth overnight for a more intense color.
5. Once the eggs have cooled, you can cut the nylon bags, remove all twigs, leaves, flowers and wipe them with a paper towel. To add shine, you can rub them with sunflower oil.
Original marble eggs for Easter

1. To marbleize Easter eggs, you need to take several large onion scales, wet them with water and wrap them around each egg.
3. Carefully place our preparations in nylon bags, tighten them tightly and send them to cook.
As a result, the egg will be unevenly colored, and the folds of the onion peel will form a marble-like pattern.
Marble eggs in onion peels and brilliant green
Marble eggs according to this recipe are very beautiful, original in design and shiny. They are made easily and from affordable means. Most importantly, they turn out to be harmless, since onion peels and medicinal brilliant green are used. Such marble beauties will be a wonderful decoration for the festive Easter table.

Decoupage eggs for Easter with napkins
Decorating Easter eggs is one of my favorite pastimes, because here the flight of imagination is not limited. Currently, there are a huge variety of ways to color, decorate, decorate, and paint Easter eggs. Now I want to show you a very simple decoration method that takes no more than five minutes. Plus it requires zero artistic preparation and it always works!
To decorate Easter eggs with napkins we will need:
- Chicken boiled egg
- Paper napkins with a beautiful pattern
- Egg white
- Brush
- Scissors
Stages of work:
1. I tried different methods of decoupage with paper napkins and through trial and error I realized that it is best to cut out each picture separately. In this case, you will not have bubbles and folds when you glue them to the egg.
2. If you have multi-layer napkins, you only need to glue the top layer with the pattern. Attach the workpiece to the egg and coat the top with egg white using a brush. To ensure that the design lies evenly, smooth it out carefully with your fingers. Do not overdo it so as not to tear the part.
3. Once you have decorated all the eggs, leave them to dry. Now you have Easter paraphernalia with designs that look like they were painted directly on the egg!
Painted Easter eggs in fabric
Did you know that eggs can be dyed with silk or chiffon fabric with a bright pattern? I bring to your attention another quick and very beautiful way decorating Easter eggs. They turn out so bright and unique that you can at least put them on display.
The finished product turns out better and more beautiful when the fabric patterns contain dark blue, purple and red colors.
The interesting thing is that you never know how much color and design will be imprinted on the egg during the dyeing process. Sometimes patterns that you may think are amazing will look ugly on the finished product and vice versa.
In order to create such masterpieces we will need:
- 100% silk fabric
- Scissors
- Cotton thread or elastic bands
- White cotton fabric
- Vinegar
Stages of work:
1. First of all, we need to prepare the fabric in which we will wrap the eggs. To do this, measure and cut silk and cotton fabrics into pieces measuring 18 x 18 cm. Tightly wrap a raw chicken egg in each piece and tie it. Make sure the front of the design is on the inside and not the outside!
2. After you have wrapped the eggs in silk fabric, they need to be wrapped in cotton fabric and tied.
3. Place these little beauties in a saucepan, fill with water, add 1 tbsp. l. vinegar and cook for 20-30 minutes. Vinegar helps better coloring. The longer you cook the eggs, the brighter the designs will be.
4. After the eggs are boiled, they must be removed from the water and cooled naturally or under cold running water. You can remove the cloth from the cooled eggs.
If you have chosen light and dark patterns for coloring, then it is better to paint them separately. Otherwise, the finished crumbs will have the effect of a “dirty” pattern.
Look what beauty can be achieved using this simple method!
