How to paint eggs for Easter. Coloring Easter eggs step by step with a photo

First, the eggs must be prepared. This is very important in order for the eggs to be beautiful.

Menu:

1. How to prepare for painting Easter eggs

Preparation:

1. It is best to buy white eggs because they take dye better. Eggs must be thoroughly washed.

Usually, eggs are stamped with a release date and more. This stigma must be washed off, because it will shine through any paint.

If it does not wash off with a sponge and warm water, try with soda powder and, in extreme cases, with table vinegar. This egg will not cause any harm, because we act on it in this way, for a short time.

Do not press hard on the egg. Since it is wet, it may crack. Eggs must be washed thoroughly. Because only on a clean egg will the paint lie evenly.

3. And one more trick. Soak a cotton pad with alcohol (for those who do not have alcohol at home, use 9% table vinegar) and wipe the eggs with it. This is to remove greasy stains from eggs from fingers. In this way we process all the eggs.

Do not forget! When processing eggs, they must be at room temperature.

4. Put the eggs in a saucepan and add a couple of tablespoons of salt so that the eggs do not crack during cooking. And fill with cold water so that the eggs are completely covered.

By the way, to distinguish old from fresh eggs? When we fill them with water, the old egg floats up, and the fresh egg remains at the bottom.

5. Put the eggs to boil. We will cook on a small fire. Of course we will cook hard boiled. After they boil, you still need to cook for 7-10 minutes, if the eggs are store-bought. If the eggs are fresh country, you need to cook longer, after boiling for 13-15 minutes.

Do not forget, when you take out the boiled eggs from boiling water, be sure to dip them in ice water for a while, this is so that they can be cleaned better later. Just don't chill at all. Eggs should be warm when dyed.

Well, we've got the eggs. Now let's move on to coloring them.

1. How to paint beautiful eggs for Easter

1. We take a hard-boiled egg, wipe it again with alcohol or vinegar and wrap it in a paper napkin or paper towel, while you don’t have to try to evenly wrap the egg, just wrap it randomly, as if crushing a napkin (do not press hard, crush the egg).

Pour a little vinegar, as if getting wet, from all sides. Press the napkin (squeeze) more tightly to the egg.

2. Take the blue dye and randomly drip onto the egg. Let the dye spread a little.

3. We take another dye, yellow. Also, in a chaotic manner, we apply it to the egg.

4. We take the third dye, we have red and, like the first two, we apply it to the egg.

5. We squeeze the egg with our palms so that the napkin sticks well to the shell. At the same time, we get a napkin, as it were, one-color, evenly colored.

6. Before we paint the egg, we need to make a stand for it. We take an ordinary sponge, stick English needles into it according to the size of an egg and that's it, our stand is ready.

7. We put our egg in a napkin with dyes on a stand and let it dry a little.

8. After a couple of minutes, the egg dried up, carefully remove the napkin from it, trying not to smear the paint.

We got such a rainbow colored egg. We put the egg back on our homemade stand and let it dry completely.

1. How to dye Easter eggs to make them multi-colored

1. We will need plastic small but deep dishes. Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into each of them.

2. Pour the dye into each of the dishes, at first a little, and then it will be possible to regulate, after diluting the dyes with water.

3. Dilute the dyes with water. You don't need much water, somewhere less than half. You will understand when you see what we will do.

4. Take the egg and dip it into the dye by 1/3. We keep it for about 2 minutes.

5. We take out the egg and blot a drop from the bottom. We leave the egg to dry a little on our homemade stand. Since the egg is warm, it dries out pretty quickly.

6. The egg has dried out, lower it into the next dye, again by about 1/3, for 2 minutes. We take it out, also blot a drop at the bottom and set to dry.

7. Dip the remaining unpainted part of the egg into the third dye. We take out, not forgetting to wipe a drop from below, set to dry.

Here we have such a multi-colored egg.

1. How to paint Easter eggs with polka dots

1. Let's prepare two paints in plastic cups, yellow and blue, a candle, cotton wool on sticks and a stand for eggs. If you have leftover paints from a previous painting, you can use them. We light a candle. we need melted wax.

2. We completely lower the egg into the yellow dye. Let it lie down there for a couple of minutes, take it out and put it on a stand to dry.

3. The egg is dry. We take a cotton swab, dip it in melted wax and in a chaotic manner apply points of wax to the egg with a stick. You can come up with something of your own. Lettering, figurines, stripes, etc.

4. Literally let the wax dry for 10-15 seconds and send the egg to the second paint. Ours is blue. You can take any you like. Let the egg stand in the paint for 2 minutes.

5. We take it out of the dye, put it on a stand, let it dry. In principle, the egg is ready. We can leave it like this.

6. If you want to remove the wax from the egg, warm it up a little next to the candle, in no case above the egg, just next to it. The wax melts and can be easily removed with a tissue.

1. How to paint eggs for Easter with a color transition

We need an egg and dye of the same color.

1. Pour quite a bit of dye into a plastic cup so that only it covers the tip of the egg a little more than a centimeter and lower the egg vertically there with the blunt end down. Leave it like that for 2 minutes.

2. Then, using a spoon, add a little more dye. Depending on how large the egg is, how many rings you want to make of different coloring intensity on the egg, calculate how much paint you need to add. We added about 1 cm each. We also leave 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 we cover the egg completely with the dye, let it stand for 2 minutes, take it out of the dye and put 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.

1. How to paint striped eggs for Easter

1. Color the egg blue first. Next, we need electrical tape. We cut off 20-25 centimeters of electrical tape and cut the electrical tape lengthwise into narrow strips.

2. We stick the tape on the egg with a spiral. You can paste as you like. Also, you can also make any width of the strip of electrical tape. Thus we glue the whole egg. Press the tape well against the egg so that there are no smudges.

3. Here we have an egg pasted over with electrical tape. We lower it into a 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 up, remove the electrical tape. As you can see, under the electrical tape there was a blue color.

Here we have such a striped egg in a simple way.

1. Mosaic Easter egg coloring

1. We cut a lot of corners from electrical tape and now stick them on a pre-painted yellow egg. We try to stick the corners in the form of a mosaic. Between the corners we make a gap of about 2 millimeters. We lay the corners in random order.

2. This is how we got a glued egg. We dip it in red dye to get an approximately orange color.

3. We take it out of the dye and put it on a stand to dry.

This is how we got the egg. Now it remains only to remove the tape.

1. How to paint eggs for Easter in onion skins

1. We need onion peel, preferably from red and yellow onions. Eggs with already defatted shells. If you have not degreased them yet, then wipe them with alcohol or vinegar. Squares of gauze about 20 x 20 cm in size. Threads to tie gauze, pan. Question about the saucepan. After boiling onion skins, the pan is very difficult to clean, so pick up a pot that is not needed or in which you paint every year. Or will you paint.

2. For decoration, we will add various leaves and figures cut out of parchment so that the eggs are not so boring.

3. The husk must be placed in a saucepan and mashed to crush. The size of the pan and the amount of husk depends on how many eggs you want to color. Fill the husk with water and put on the stove to cook for 1-1.5 hours.

4. We begin to prepare the eggs. We take gauze, put a leaf on it, face up, carefully straighten all the tips of the leaf. Lay the egg on the leaf. Carefully collect all the ends of the gauze in a pile and tighten, strongly pressing the leaf to the egg. We twist the collected ends of the gauze into a tourniquet, than we pull the leaf closer 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. Put the egg in the center and tighten the gauze again. But figures made of parchment paper, it is best to dip 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 peel and put the eggs there.

7. We close 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 out the eggs from the husk and transfer them immediately to cold water so that they are easier to clean later.

We cut off the gauze, rinse with water and see what beauty we have.

To make the eggs shiny, grease them with vegetable oil. The easiest way to do this is by pouring a little oil on cotton pads.

Well, the eggs are ready. They are perhaps not inferior in beauty to eggs painted with paint.

1. Original DIY Easter eggs

We took:

• Eggs - 12 pcs.
• Water - 2 liters
• Vinegar - 2 or 3 tablespoons
• Silk fabric (with different patterns)
• Any white fabric
• Rubber bands

1. For dyeing eggs, we took unnecessary men's silk ties, of which we have accumulated a lot. If you do not have unnecessary ties, just take pieces of multi-colored silk.

2. We cut the fabric into squares. We take an egg, put it on the front side of the silk fabric.

3. Wrap tightly so that the fabric does not move over the egg. We twist the tail of the fabric that has turned out at the top, thus tightening the egg even tighter.

4. On top of the colored fabric, we impose the same piece of white fabric. We also twist the tail. We fix everything by putting an elastic band on the tail, twisting it several times. 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. Reduce the fire so that they do not jump in the pan. Just to boil slowly.

7. After 15 minutes, take out the eggs and put them on a dish. Leave on a plate until completely cooled.

8. When the eggs are completely cool, remove the elastic bands and unfold the fabric. See what beauty emerges from under the fabric. Thus, we unfold all the eggs.

These are the most beautiful eggs we got. Surprise your friends. Enjoy yourself.

1. Very beautiful Easter eggs

1. We take hard-boiled eggs, ordinary colored napkins and egg white. We tear the napkin into 4 parts. We separate the top color layer from the napkins.

2. Dip the egg in protein and twirl to moisten the entire area of ​​​​the egg. We lay the egg on the wrong side of the napkin and wrap it. Cut off excess napkins.

3. Dip the brush into the protein and grease the egg on top, thus distributing the napkin evenly over the entire egg, while pressing the napkin more tightly against the shell.

4. Everything is neatly distributed, the egg is ready. We do all the eggs the same way. You can take different napkins. Accordingly, the eggs will be different.

Enjoy!

Before you start thinking about what and how to color the eggs yourself, I would like to remind you that you should not forget about the expiration dates of the eggs when you buy them in the store.

Now I suggest you color Easter eggs in the very first known way, probably even the most common, with food coloring. Take a package that is designed specifically for decoration.

There are 4 dyes in different colors in this bag. Therefore, you can take 4 jars at once in order to somehow quickly complete this work.

And of course, boiled sweets, which are already ready for work and defense.

Do everything as it is written in the instructions on the back of the package. You need to wash them with baking soda before painting (take 1 tablespoon of soda for 0.5 liters of water). Dye, dissolve the whole bag in half a glass of hot water and add vinegar 9% 1 tbsp. Then lower the egg completely and hold for about five minutes.

I’ll tell you a secret, or maybe it’s not a secret, you can get more colors from this set, for this, just mix yellow with blue, you get turquoise.

By the way, it is possible, after all, not to completely dip the whole egg into the dye, but only part in one paint, and part in another.

Of course, the kids will really like this activity, but do not leave them unattended, this is very important!

By the way, there is another little trick of how not to get your hands dirty, look at this photo.

There is another option, which is also made with food coloring, but using wax. But the essence is this, you will need to rub some part with wax, and then lower the product into the paint, where there is wax, it will not allow it to be painted. Thus, in this way it will simplify the task of painting with different colors.

There is another interesting and new way, this is when eggs are directly dripped with liquid dye and immediately filled with water, so they turn out rainbow.

Or another super option, wrap the testicles in a paper napkin, and then spray with colored liquid dyes from the spray gun, and leave to cool for 1 hour in this form.

What will come of it? But what, such beauty, and even marble.

I still really love the method with the help of thermal stickers, I told you about it in. In a nutshell, then you need to purchase these miracle stickers in the store and then, how to magically put them on a template and dip them in boiling water for 5 seconds.

There is nothing complicated, everything is as simple as twice two, in general, in haste, this method is generally a godsend.

Dyeing eggs in onion skins

The traditional and most inexpensive option is, of course, painting in onions, in its husks. Moreover, if you want to get a good and saturated color, then you will need such proportions as 1 cup of husk plus 1 cup of water.

You need to cook this mixture for about an hour, and then place the prepared boiled samples there. It will turn out brown.

Well, another way of coloring is using various kinds of greens, such as parsley or dill. It seems funny, but it looks quite elegant and colorful.

We will need:

• onion peel
• raw chicken egg - 10 pcs.
• salt - 1 tbsp
• nylon stockings
• different green leaves
• threads
• vegetable oil

Stages of work:

1. Harvest or specially peel onions. Place the skins in a saucepan and cover with water. The more peel, the more saturated the color will be.

Lay a sprig of greenery or grass on the egg, make a square out of the stocking and rewind the sheet with it, tie it with threads.

2. It will turn out something like in this photo.

4. And then place the blanks that are already waiting for miracles.

5. Boil for 30 minutes, and then remove from the pan, let them cool, remove all excess and wipe them so that they shine with vegetable oil. Well, the truth is, these dyes look great, super!

This method can be used with any other options, I mean such a wrap.

We color Easter eggs so that they turn out to be marble

This method is similar to the previous one, onion peel is also used, only brilliant green is added to everything. It looks really cool, colorful and even I would say bewitching. Handsome people who will delight everyone and give smiles on their faces.

We will need:

• onion peel
• raw white eggs
• brilliant green

Stages of work:

1. So, compared with the previous description, here you can do it in a different way, for this you first need to wet the eggs and lower them so that the husk sticks to them, then tie them in gauze or a bandage. A stocking is even good for this.

2. And put another 1 tbsp of salt into the water and pour a little greenery or you can pour a whole bottle, it's still small. What a marvelous drawing turned out, and most importantly, it is different on each product. Fabulous!

If something is not clear to you, then I suggest you watch this video.

By the way, you can still get a marble effect, in another way, before painting, just lightly break the shell with a teaspoon and something cool will come out.

How to color eggs with natural products?

At the very beginning, I already gave you a similar tablet, I also show you such a sample in your piggy bank.

So, let's sort it out in order.

Important! Add vinegar everywhere to keep paints and colors stable.

1. Turmeric. You know this product, yes of course! What color do you think it will turn out? That's right, colorful with a yellow tint. About it, we will talk in more detail later.

2. Carrot. Bright orange and so pretty, wring it out, or rather use carrot juice. Hold the samples in this solution until the desired color.

3. Beets. Use beetroot juice, soak the testicles in it and get a raspberry or even pink hue after. But, here you have to hold it for 10 hours for the color to occur.

4. Coffee. If you don't have coffee, then take tea. The effect will be almost the same. Brew and hold in such a tea or coffee solution for a couple of hours. Here are my experiments with tea).

5. Spinach. It makes a cool green color, cut it into pieces and put it in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until you get the desired result.

6. Cabbage. This method is also popular and safe for health. Use only a variety of cabbage such as red cabbage. That's just the time the eggs in the water should be 10 hours, so that they turn purple.

Here are my other results of experimentation, choose. Oddly enough, the years also came into play, I also tried to color Easter eggs with honeysuckle, I have it in the freezer for food.

Emerald eggs for Easter

A pretty good option still exists, which I want to offer you in this video. I hope everything works out for you, the author of this video shows the whole process of work in an accessible and step-by-step manner, so watch and repeat all the steps, I wish you good luck!

How to decorate eggs without dyes using turmeric?

A pretty good and interesting method, because such dyes turn out to be quite bright and seductive, see for yourself.

To get such a miracle, you need to take a glass = 250 ml of hot water and put 1 tablespoon of turmeric in it, stir. Allow this mixture to cool slightly, and then place eggs at room temperature in this solution so that they do not crack during the cooking process. Boil for about 30 minutes over low heat.

By the way, you can decorate them first in onion peel with a pattern, like leaves and twigs, and then lower them into a solution of turmeric and the pattern will turn yellow.

Using beets instead of dye

I think everyone knows about this method. Although there are actually three of these options, let's consider each of them. You can take absolutely anyone as a basis, see for yourself how much time you have.

1. You can take a fresh beetroot and use it to decorate your samples. How to achieve this, you first need to boil the eggs to a state of steep, and then follow these instructions.

Beets are peeled and rubbed on a coarse grater. Roll samples in this mixture, before rolling them, it is recommended to lubricate the eggs with vinegar essence so that the color is better fixed.

2. You can also use freshly squeezed juice of this vegetable.

Important! Please note that this method requires ready-boiled eggs.

You can pass beets through a juicer (in Ukraine they say beetroot), or you can do it yourself using a grater and gauze. After the juice is ready, put a couple of drops of vinegar into it and only after that place the eggs for 3-4 hours, you will get a beautiful pink color.

If you want the color to be bright burgundy, then leave the dye in this liquid to stand all night in the refrigerator.

3. Finally, we got to the third option, you need to boil the fruits of this purple vegetable in a saucepan, then add a spoonful of vinegar. Your calculation and proportions should be as follows: one large beet is taken for 1 liter of water. Place the finished samples in this liquid and leave to stain overnight.

And in the morning, you can get such a beautiful result.

Dyed pysanky made of fabric

We continue to be weird, last year the dyeing method was using ties, well, or you could take any silk fabric, the main thing is that it be natural. Ordinary cotton is also suitable, as long as it is colored.

And of course, you probably already guessed, you need to wrap an egg in a piece of cloth, and then dip it into water and cook for about 15 minutes with vinegar (pour about 3-4 tablespoons of it into 3 liters of water).

Do not forget to tie the fabric with threads, in general it turns out excellently. The main thing is that everyone will definitely like such a miracle. You can take it to the exhibition with you.

There is still such an option, this is when the material is taken in a mesh or with some kind of pattern, ornament, and also rewound on a Easter egg, and then you place the eggs in a solution with dyes or in some other, for example, onion peel or beetroot.

Looks cool and pleasing to the eye. In general, what is needed for this Christian holiday.

Decoupage eggs for Easter from a napkin

This technique appeared not so long ago and gained momentum very quickly. This kind of craft, a souvenir. But, but what a luxurious, wow, well, just healthy and cool!

We will need:

• napkins
• scissors
• PVA glue
• tassel

Stages of work:

1. Take any paper napkin with a pattern, carefully cut out the pattern with scissors. Separate the bottom layer from it, slowly gently pick it up with your nails.

2. Prepare the glue for work and the brush.

3. Lubricate the surface of the pysanka with glue, and then attach the drawing and brush it with a brush. Let dry and lie down until full charm.

We paint testicles from improvised means at home

Now I will tell you one secret, I'm joking of course. You are probably already thinking about, yes, it would be faster to grunt them already))). So, here’s what I’m talking about, because they are usually decorated with powder, and why don’t we use it right here, for these purposes.

The steps are not difficult at all. In order for the powder to stick to the shell, you will need egg white, coat the sample with it, and then roll it. This is such a miraculous transformation.

Of course, you can stick it on glue, but you can’t eat such an egg, so be careful.

A similar application technique is with all kinds of cereals. Funny face turned out).

Even legumes and pasta can be used here. Wow, you're great!

I also heard that they cover with nail polish, it looks cool and beautiful, but also not edible.

How to make such a job? Take a glass of water and draw any pattern you like on the surface of the water, and then completely lower the sample into this liquid.

There is another mind-blowing option using markers, or felt-tip pens. And take it on a water basis so that they are harmless. Draw faces or faces, maybe even your favorite cartoon characters.

Although such can even be attributed to the exhibition, if you try hard and be creative.

There are also ready-made eyes on sale now, which you can also easily place here.

You can also use acrylic paints for this purpose.

It also looks seductive, bright and pretty. The main thing is to have insight and inspiration, and then everything will work out for you.

If you don’t feel like it at all, and you don’t have the mood or time, then you can use another method. Remember in childhood everyone loved to pop bubbles, I'm talking about that packing paper, polyethylene. So you can make eggs colored using it.

If you are preparing a souvenir for someone, then you can decorate an egg using the quilling technique. Such work will take a lot of time and effort, but for the masters of this business it will not be difficult to arrange such a craft in such a way.

The next option is gold leaf coating, what is it, have you heard about it before? This is a paper that resembles foil, only it is golden. You can take an egg of any color, even an ordinary white one, and then put gold on it, glue it on PVA.

And to make it more convenient to create, you can make special coasters from foam and toothpicks.

In fact, they even make them completely golden, well, just like in a fairy tale about the chicken Ryaba, and the chicken laid an egg, and not a simple one, but a golden one ... Look, just don’t break it ahead of time))). This work is certainly laborious, because you need to do it anyway and smoothly so that wrinkles do not turn out.

I also remembered how one year, I glued masking tape, though I made different drawings and pieces out of it, and then placed it in a colored solution.

You can make up a whole story.

If there are children in your family, then I suggest you do this experience with them. Take baking soda and food coloring and mix them in a glass or bowl, respectively, place the egg in the same place. And then pour vinegar diluted with water together with the young researcher. Shhh, a fizzy reaction will occur, the baby will be delighted with what he sees.

Or a completely safe way of coloring is drawing with wax pencils.

That's all for today. Let me congratulate you all on the upcoming holiday and wish you all the brightest and most rainbow! Christ is Risen! Join my group and visit more often! Bye!

Sincerely, Ekaterina Mantsurova

A universal selection of gift ideas for every occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

How to dry eggs?

Before starting master classes, you need to decide where and how you will store the unfinished results of creativity? After all, it is very easy to lubricate the drawing, if you just put the testicle on a flat surface. There are several options:

1. Use egg storage containers. In them, the pattern is less smeared.
2. Take foam rubber and toothpicks. Insert the toothpicks into the foam at a distance that allows you to place your creation inside.
3. Purchase special stands. You can also build them yourself. For example, make a cardboard ring in which you will put the egg after coloring.

I myself am still just getting ready for the total Easter coloring. While I tried a couple of ways, I will share my research further.

natural ways

In the meantime, keep a very valuable tablet that shows most of the easiest options for decorating eggs with the most natural dyes at home. All of them need vinegar - add one tablespoon to a saucepan of water.

Presented here:

1. Coffee. You can also use tea, as it is much more affordable and you don’t have to grind anything. It turns out a beautiful brown shade.
2. Beet. My favorite color is pink or crimson, it all depends on the soaking time. It is recommended to soak for 8 hours.
3. Carrot. Bright festive color will give you carrots, from which you will need to squeeze the juice, and then boil the eggs in the resulting solution.
4. Spinach. A somewhat unexpected way for our latitudes, isn't it?) You will need spinach if you want to get a delicate green color.
5. Cabbage. To get the blue color of the eggs, take a couple of heads of red cabbage, finely chop and mix with 500 ml of water. Leave the eggs here for 8 hours, covered with a film on top.
6. Turmeric. But she will give a sunny yellow. Grind the turmeric beforehand (you should get 2-3 tablespoons) and cook until boiling, then cool and place the eggs there.

All the main nuances are presented on this wonderful hand-drawn instruction, which I have already stocked up in my hamster bins for a long time. A very useful thing during Easter

They completely forgot about the onion peel! But she is the most classic dye. There is nowhere more classic. For her, take the onion peel in the desired volume (for the brightest shade, peel from four onions is recommended for one glass of water). Boil the water for about half an hour, and then lower the eggs into it for a few minutes.

Advice: for a beautiful flower-grass pattern, place the eggs in nylon "bags", putting blades of grass, flowers, etc. there. The output will be an interesting drawing.

It is not necessary to make exactly plant-like traces. You can wrap eggs with threads, glue paper patterns.

Food colorings

In general, when buying any food coloring, there should be an instruction on it that allows you to competently turn the coloring procedure. If this does not happen, then:

1. Add vinegar to water, bring to a boil. Leave for half an hour.
2. Then the eggs can be boiled in this solution (for a short time) or lowered into the already cooled solution.

However, there are some tricks that will allow you to stand out from the background of others. For example, if you stick round stickers in the form of a polka dot pattern before painting, you will end up with an unusual and very stylish egg.

Or maybe you want a wealth of colors? Then feel free to take gold leaf (it's not that expensive, by the way, if you know the right places;)). First paint, and then wrap the egg with a piece of gold foil and lightly rub with a brush. It turns out an interesting marble effect.

I wonder where you can buy gold leaf cheaply? There you are link on a comprehensive Aliexpress (the seller is verified and one of the most advantageous offers). Here you can buy a lot of precious leaves for a small amount).

Advice. If you want to achieve a beautiful marble effect, then you can do this: paint the egg in a light color, and then dip in water with a dark color, which will contain vegetable oil (small drops, about two teaspoons per 500 milliliters).

minions

A favorite with kids and adults alike, they are super easy to make with yellow and blue dye, as well as lots of small toy eyes and a felt tip pen. To do this, the egg needs to be dipped in the dye only halfway, dried. On the yellow part, glue the eyes and draw funny faces. The child is happy

Drawing with a permanent marker

One of the fastest ideas. All you need is a permanent marker (one or more) and your imagination. Dots, lines, numbers, mysterious patterns - you will get minimalistic, but very stylish eggs. True, it seems to me that it is not worth leaving such for a long time so that they can be eaten. Still a marker...

Metallic markers are also on sale now - a perfect accessory for Easter. The drawing is more delicate than when using ordinary colors.

Simplicity and cuteness

Have you ever seen white chicken eggs remind you of funny Hello Kitty? Try to make one like in the photo. Little girls will be especially delighted - they will like the cute design. For extra decoration, use small flowers, bows, buttons, and whatever you have on hand.

We use paints

How without them? You can use watercolors or acrylics. In the second case, you can not be afraid of moisture getting on the surface - this is not scary for acrylic dyes. They do not have a strong smell, they do not penetrate deep into.

Feeling reluctant to mess around with lengthy painting? Then take a pimply film and paint over it properly. It remains only to roll the egg on the surface of the film and you will get a speckled egg

We turn to less traditional methods of coloring.

With the help of fabric

For me, these methods have become a kind of discovery. For example, an option appeared where to put old ties. For this, however, they must be made of real silk.

The method is as follows: take a tie, wrap it tightly with a cloth and over it with threads (you can use cotton cloth). Take a little more vinegar than before (about three tablespoons). Boil the eggs for 10 minutes after boiling, cool and very carefully separate the tissue. Incredible beauty comes out

Here is an option with a silk handkerchief and fabric. In general, do not throw away silk shreds - they can come in handy in the most unexpected situations.

On the topic of fabric and onion decoration: take lace and wrap the eggs tightly with it. The recipe is the same, but the patterns are amazing!

Thread decor

You can wrap your creations with threads not only to form beautiful patterns, but also use them as a full-fledged decorative element. To do this, take PVA and coat the surface as the thread advances, which is laid out in a spiral.

Groats in a move

Why does an egg need to be dyed? After all, you can just glue it with grains! Take anything - rice, peas, buckwheat, sesame and more. You can completely roll the product in one type of grain, or you can pour it in stripes, as in the photo.

confectionery topping

Again, it is necessary to properly coat the surface with glue (you can take PVA) and pour sprinkles on top of it. Balls, stars, and just long strips of sweet material will come in handy.

dragon eggs

Yes, not the most Easter idea, but it also has a place to be. For them, you will need round sequins and glue. You can go the other way - take an artificial foam egg and a lot of buttons. It remains only to stick them in circles to get the effect of scales.

I recommend using options with rhinestones, “scales” and other things either for an empty shell or for artificial fake eggs, since it will be a pity to scrape off all these decorations later.

Advice. How to blow an egg out of the shell? There are two ways:

1. Pierce the egg on both sides with an awl. Take a saucer and just blow out the contents of the egg. Blow carefully so as not to damage the shell.
2. Pierce the egg on one side. Take the syringe and use it to extract the contents.

Pieces of glass and rhinestones

To decorate eggs, both artificial and natural, square pieces of glass or rhinestones will help you. Looks very impressive and festive

Compromise option

A great idea for those who do not want to mess around for a long time, but still want to decorate. And not artificial eggs, but the most natural ones. For each instance, you will need several small rhinestones, which you can glue in any order. PVA is useful for gluing.

quilling

It seems to me that this method is also suitable for an ordinary Easter egg, it will only be a pity to spoil it. Or you can take an artificial form, as in a master class.

And now, perhaps, the most exotic way of all - coloring ... with nail polish.

Paint eggshells with nail polish

My friends, just the shell without content, if you don't want to get poisoned. I decided to experiment on eggs with contents and realized that even after a short laying they are saturated with the smell of varnish so that only the yolk remains edible at best.

However, if you just want to get a beautiful shell or surface, then take note. Incredibly easy way.

Prepare nail polish (preferably several colors), a container of water (not used for cooking), and the shell itself. Pour the varnish over the surface of the water, drawing the patterns that you want to see later. Take only fresh, undiluted varnishes that have not expired, otherwise you will get not a thin beautiful layer, but thick lines and cakes.

The coverage area should be approximately equal to the surface area of ​​the egg, again to get a beautiful effect.

Gently lower the egg into the pan, submerging it completely in the water. It will immediately be covered with an interesting pattern.

This is what I “painted” for the second egg. First dripped with pink varnish, and then green. As a result, green "dispersed" pink.

I took the eggs not white, but brown, so the result was not very bright.

At the same time, I painted a plastic jar of honey. I didn’t take into account some features, so in some places there were lacquer cakes: _D In general, this method of coloring is suitable not only for the shell - here you can use small decorative jars and dip your nails (although then you have to rub your fingers, but the result is worth it :) )

But what others get by diluting more varnishes and using the white color of the egg as a basis. As soon as people do not fantasize!

other methods

Suddenly I remembered that I had not told about all the options known to me. What else can be used to color eggs for Easter:

1. Zelenka. It is better to use it like this: wrap the eggs with gauze, in which you put rice, leaves, pieces of paper, and so on. Tie tightly. Now place them in a pot of cold water and cook until boiling, then a few more minutes.
2. paper decorations. These are all kinds of hare ears, eyes, man-made coasters. The decoration options here are almost endless.
3. sequins. Coat the surface with PVA glue or paste, and then generously sprinkle it with sparkles, shaking off excess.
4. thermal stickers. Before Easter, they are sold in almost all stores. All that is needed is to put a sticker on the already boiled egg and quickly lower it into boiling water. I must say, it doesn’t always turn out well - you have to experiment with stickers from different manufacturers.
5. Pencils + watercolor. Draw an image on the surface with a pencil. Dilute the watercolor in water (the thicker the better) and lower the product there. Didn't like the effect? Wash off the paint and try again.

Finally, I have prepared for you an interesting video with a very simple decor method, in which it is very easy to get the effect of "cosmic" coloring:

Well, how do you like painting? And I'm sure I forgot something. Maybe you can tell in the comments? I would be very grateful, as well as other readers who have looked at the blog. In the future, I will definitely share my painting results with you, do not miss

Decorating eggs for Easter is a very old tradition, which has now received a lot of ideas for creativity in this direction. In addition to the hassle of baking for Easter, everyone is very friendly - adults and children - decorate eggshells.

In this article, you will find many original ideas and interesting ways to create an exclusive holiday attribute for Easter from an ordinary egg.

For the manufacture of Easter eggs, a boiled chicken egg, a whole eggshell without protein and yolk, or wooden, porcelain or plastic egg-shaped blanks can be used.

History calls for dyeing eggs red. Giving red-dyed eggs at Easter is an ancient custom, rooted in the life of Mary Magdalene and Emperor Tiberius.

In Christianity, the egg symbolizes the tomb and resurrection, and the red color means for Christians the blood of the crucified Christ. Under the red shell of the egg is a white protein, which serves as a symbol of the Resurrection and the life of Christ.

It has long been a tradition to keep the donated symbols all year - until the next Holy Sunday. But it was not easy to observe it - they are fragile and perishable.

Easter eggs came to the rescue - wooden blanks, beautifully painted and decorated with Christian symbols. Painted eggs were called eggs.

30 DIY Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

There are a lot of ways and ideas for coloring, because there are a large number of different materials at hand - paper, paints and fabrics.

In addition, there are a lot of interesting and beautiful ideas that have already been invented by someone, you just have to choose and implement your plan. Perhaps you will come up with your own way of decorating - unique and original!

It is important to boil the eggs correctly so that the shell remains intact without chips and cracks, because there is still work to be done with it, and therefore damage is unacceptable here. Carefully place the eggs in a bowl, pour warm water 35-38 degrees so that it completely covers them, let them stand for a couple of hours. Next, add 1-2 tablespoons of salt to the water, put the dishes on a large fire, immediately after boiling, reduce the heat and cook for another 10 minutes.

Coloring eggs with natural dyes

Do not bypass the dyeing of eggs with natural dyes in the old fashioned way, as our beloved mothers and grandmothers traditionally dyed the shells. After all, now everything natural is in fashion, and therefore we will pay special attention to this method.

Of course, it is better to use eggs in a white shell for coloring - the color will be bright and intense.

Even for convenience, you will need a homemade stand, which you can do yourself. To make it, you will need toothpicks and a piece of foam or dense foam rubber.

Irreplaceable onion peel is a familiar component in coloring. Everyone knows that the intensity of the color of the shell depends on the time the boiled eggs stay in boiling water with the husk.

For brown, you can also use coffee or tea, as they are always available on the farm, and you don’t have to grind anything. You will get a very beautiful dark brown shade.

Beetroot is a great helper in coloring eggs, giving us a pink or crimson color. It all depends on the soak time. It is recommended to soak an egg in a white shell for 7-8 hours, overnight, for example

Bright holiday color will give you carrots, which you will need to squeeze the juice from, and then boil the eggs in the resulting solution, leaving it in it for a while for an intense color.

As an option for coloring blueberry or natural grape juice. As a result, you will also get interesting shades of blue and lilac.

Spinach, of course, is a somewhat unexpected vegetable green for our latitudes, but if you wish, you can find it if you want to get a delicate green shell color.

Red cabbage gives egg shells a beautiful blue color. Take a couple of heads of red cabbage, finely chop and mix with 500 ml of hot water. Leave the eggs in the same bowl with cabbage for 8 hours, covering with a film on top

But turmeric will give a gorgeous sunny yellow. Grind the turmeric root first (you should get 2-3 tablespoons) and cook until boiling, then cool and place the eggs there. You can use ready-made turmeric powder

If you want to additionally decorate eggs after natural coloring, then just grease the surface with vegetable oil - this will add shine and gloss to the painted shell!

To decorate eggs when stained with natural dyes, you can use many interesting tricks.

Decoration with plant prints

For example, glue a flower, a sprig or leaf of parsley, dill to the surface of a white egg, then tighten it into a nylon mesh, lower the workpiece into a paint solution

Stripes on the surface of the shell

To get a pattern of stripes on the egg after dyeing, you need to wrap the surface of the eggs with rubber bands before dyeing

To decorate the surface, before painting in the dye, you can stick strips, paper figures or stickers (hearts, circles, triangles, diamonds, etc.)

Strips of paper tape will do or you can use electrical tape

Coloring Easter eggs in a napkin

The method is not complicated. You will need different colors. A dry egg is wrapped in half a napkin, and with the help of cotton swabs, soak it with paints over the napkin with small spots, leaving no white spots. Let the napkin dry and carefully remove it - very elegant and colored eggs are obtained.

Coloring eggs with thread

With the same success, you can use threads impregnated with different colors. They leave mysterious patterns and stripes

Easter eggs with degraded effect

For painting, you will need multi-colored spray paints and a home-made plasticine stand. Blow out the contents of raw eggs by making two holes on both sides of the egg.

One color is first applied to the surface of the shell. Then, after drying, a second coat of paint is applied. It's okay if white spots remain in some places, this will only add lightness and transparency.

You can make a specific pattern using rubber bands or thin strips of paper tape

Easter eggs in colorful threads

You will need eggs and multi-colored threads. It can be floss, cotton or fine wool. At one end of the egg, a thread is attached with adhesive tape, glue is applied to the shell, on which the thread is wound, melange will look better in this decoration technique. Having wound the thread to the middle of the egg, the thread is cut off and fixed, and they start all over again from the other end.

Easter eggs in lace

Eggs are dyed according to the instructions with food coloring, the lace is cut into cuts of the required size and attached with PVA glue to the painted shell

For smart needlewomen, eggs can be crocheted - a difficult and time-consuming job, but the final result is simply amazing

Easter eggs in beads, buttons and sequins

The base is also made - the base surface is tightened with fabric, lace or ribbons, then beadwork is performed

Weaving with beads according to patterns is, without a doubt, a laborious process, but the result is amazing. Elegant, beautiful and very effective!

Unexpectedly and originally decorate the surface of the egg with buttons. There are two ways to attach them to the surface of the shell - tighten the workpiece with a cloth, then sew each button or stick the buttons on silicone glue to the surface

Pretty and shiny! Of course, sequins! Why not?

Decoupage from napkins

One of the easiest ways to decorate eggs is decoupage. A beautiful pattern is selected on a napkin, cut out and glued with PVA glue to the surface of the shell, after which a second layer of glue is applied on top. We are waiting for the eggs to dry completely.

In specialized stores for creativity, decoupage napkins are sold to choose from with a variety of patterns and on any topic.

Egg decoration using artichoke technique

This technique is distinguished by a special angular folding of tapes of different colors and their fastening in a certain order with the help of needles on a foam blank. There are also different ways to fold the ribbons.

Easter eggs in the technique of kinusaiga

Easter eggs made using the kinusaiga technique look especially beautiful and homely thanks to the effect of “patchwork” sewing from cotton or knitwear according to patterns. The colors of the patches are selected in a single color palette that combines the cover into a single composition
