Tie Dye Eggs

Every year when my siblings and I would gather at the kitchen table to color eggs under the supervision of our mother, our dad would contribute to the batch with one or two "tie dye" eggs.
For this simple technique you will need:

• Paper towels or a wash cloth you do not mind ruining.
• Egg dye
• Spoon or medicine dropper

Wrap your egg in a paper towel or wash cloth, twisting any excess around it so the egg is secure.
Take your spoon or dropper and begin adding drips of dye on to the egg through the towel or cloth.

Once you have covered one side, unwrap the egg, turn it over and repeat the process. Remove the egg and let it dry. When finished, your eggs will look something like this...

Happy decorating!

How to make swirly eggs

For this technique you will need:
Egg Dye
Egg dipper or large spoon
Rubber cement
For white swirls on a colored egg, take a white egg and drizzle rubber cement over it. Let the rubber cement dry. Dip the egg into the dye and let it sit until it reaches the desired shade. Remove the egg from the dye and set it on a drying rack. Once the egg has completely dried, peel away the rubber cement to reveal a white swirl pattern.
For colored swirls, dye the egg in a lighter shade such as pink. Once the egg has reached the desired shade, remove from the dye and let dry completely. Once the egg has dried, drizzle the rubber cement on it as above, letting it dry before dipping the egg into a darker shade such as purple. When you remove the rubber cement, you will now have colored swirls on your egg.
