These are the finished 3 dozen egg creations from Easter. My daughter and I used pins and nasal aspirators to blow out the insides of one dozen eggs, but it was tedious; so we decorated the rest of the two dozen as hard-boiled eggs.
We used several techniques including using the PAAZ color tablets. But we added two tabs in each bowl of vinegar water to intensify the colors. Next year I want to try the Kool-Aid suggestion. We used oil to marbleize, glitter pens for dimension (but they dripped before drying), and sharpies. The hard boiled eggs were easier to color because they sank in the dying liquid, while the hollow eggs had to be filled to submerge in the dye.
I'm saving the hollowed ones, since I nuked them for 20 seconds and let them dry before coloring for 24 hours (per directions listed on previous post). They don't smell and haven't faded, so we'll compare next years to this years and see if we can improve on our designs and ideas.
Happy Mother's Day today!
