I have two egg coloring ideas for Easter this year. One for the kids and another for an elegant table.
The ombré paint style is very popular in fashion, hair and interior design. I’ve even seen the look on wedding cakes and nails. It’s a gradual change in color from light to dark (or vice versa). Or a graduated change from one color to another.
These eggs are easy to do, although a little messy. Mix dye according to package directions (I use food coloring), but fill cups with less water. It easiest to hold the egg in the dye solution at the halfway mark. Gradually lift it out until you get layers of color. (The egg will be darker at the bottom). Repeat on the other end.
Make funny faces on your colored eggs, one for each member of the family. Use a permanent marker to draw mustaches and lips. Personalize each with giggly eyes, rhinestones and hats.Draw in eyelashes; add feathers and a mini Easter basket. Be sure to make place cards so Grandma knows which one is hers!
