Since ancient times, the tradition has gone on Easter - to eat first of all an Easter egg. Previously, you can exchange eggs with friends, relatives or just acquaintances. To make the eggs beautiful, you need to paint them. Here are 7 ways to color your eggs for Easter.
Instructions
Step 1
You can paint the eggs in whole, or paint only a part, using various materials. For example, the leaves of various plants. Most often they use dill, parsley, but you can take others. And so, apply the desired leaf of the plant to the egg, fix it with gauze or other thin cloth, tie the gauze on both sides and dip it into any paint. After a certain time, it remains only to take out the Easter egg, remove the cloth and leaf, grease with vegetable oil so that it acquires shine and the eggs are ready for Easter.
Step 2
In the next method, we will learn how to paint eggs with onion skins. We need rice and cheesecloth, as well as two rubber bands. The egg must be wetted, then rolled in rice or other cereals. As you can already understand, it will stick to the egg. Next, we wrap with gauze and tie or fasten the ends with rubber bands on both sides so that the rice does not go away when cooking in onion husks. As a rule, a lot of husks are required for such a procedure. Therefore, it is worth stocking up on it in advance. After some time, take out the egg, remove everything from it and let it dry. It turns out that's such beauty.
Step 3
Freshly boiled eggs can be colored with wax crayons or crayons. Again, the coloring can be any, you can paint with one color, or alternate them. After painting, such eggs need to dry for about an hour, so immediately put them on a stand to get the desired pattern.
Step 4
You can paint eggs not only with paints, but also with felt-tip pens or permanent markers. Moreover, the drawing depends entirely on your imagination. And together with the child, you can come up with cute faces, and beautiful flowers and whatever you want.
Step 5
The next way to paint eggs is also associated with electrical tape. But it is a little different in that this time we will use two different paints. For example, we glue long strips of electrical tape to one side and dip the egg in yellow paint. We take out the egg, remove the electrical tape, let it dry. Then we glue the same tapes on the other side of the egg, slightly going over the previous strips, and lower the egg in blue paint. The output will be a green egg with white-yellow stripes. This method is also good because it teaches your children to try to get new colors. Very interesting and exciting.
Step 6
You can also use ordinary tape, duct tape, or self-adhesive paper. We cut pieces of scotch tape of different sizes. Some are long, others are square, the third is round, and so on, then we glue them onto the eggs we boiled earlier. Now we dip the eggs into the paint, wait a while and the beautiful Easter eggs are ready. In fact, scotch tape is good because you can cut out any Easter figures from it and decorate the eggs accordingly.
Step 7
You can use natural cotton threads of various colors. Pre-mix the threads, then wrap the egg with them and lower to boil. And then you take it out again, remove everything and here's a ready-made Easter egg in its original design.
