Why are eggs painted for Easter?

Therefore, I don’t want to write more information about this. I won’t go deep into history; to be honest, I never liked history at school, although of course it was wrong.

So, why are eggs painted for Easter? I answer.

At all times, the egg was considered a symbol of the birth and rebirth of the Sun. The sun carried light and warmth. Previously, eggs were presented to the gods, but now we present them to loved ones and friends.

They began to color eggs in Ancient Egypt, and the inhabitants waited for this event for a whole year. For them it was a great miracle.

In the Indian Vedas, the god Brahma hatched from the Golden Egg.

It is known that in the East, according to legend, they said that the World came from Chaos and was in an egg.

There are legends in our world that say that an egg is a symbol of life.

Easter eggs are one of the main attributes of Christian Easter. According to ancient church tradition, the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene gave the first Easter egg to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. In Christian culture, colored eggs are considered a symbol of the resurrection of Christ. Russian folk legends say that at the moment of the Resurrection of Christ, the stones on Calvary turned into red eggs.

How to color eggs with your own hands?

Of course, no one will argue that Easter eggs are a decoration for the festive table during Easter. In stores now there is a very wide variety of all sorts of interesting things for decorating eggs, these include stickers, dyes, materials for decoupage and much more.

The main thing is that the decorated eggs turn out to be cheerful and not sad, that is, they should be made in bright, sunny colors.

The presence of red color is required according to old Russian traditions, and the rest will be your imagination, imagination and creativity.

There are several rules for painting eggs:

• Eggs must be degreased and washed before painting or decorating. This is done using laundry soap (washing) and alcohol (degreasing).
• Eggs do not cook immediately, that is, you cannot take them out of the refrigerator and immediately put them into boiling water. Remove the eggs and let them sit warm for a while. Then there won’t be a big temperature difference and the shell won’t crack during cooking!
• Boil the eggs by adding salt to the water, about 1 tbsp. for 1.5 glasses of water.
• In order for the eggs to shine after coloring, you need to dry them well and then grease them a little with vegetable oil, remove excess oil with a cloth.

Interesting:😆 Have you ever heard about colored eggs, specks, Easter eggs and drapanki. Sounds fun :)

• dyes - painted in one color
• specks - painted one color, but have small specks of a different color
• Easter eggs - these eggs have a small design on them
• drapanki - a plain egg with a pattern, the design is done manually by scratching

We paint and decorate eggs for Easter

In this article I would like to teach you how to decorate and paint eggs in different interesting ways. And there are a lot of ways to paint. Choose which one suits your taste and experiment. You will succeed. 🙂

Decorating eggs with wax crayons

This method is very easy and not very costly financially.

We will need:

• white eggs, food coloring, warm water, 9% vinegar, wax crayons

Stages of work:

1. Dilute the dyes according to the instructions on the package.

2. Add 1 tbsp of vinegar to 250 ml of water.

3. Mix the vinegar and dye well.

4. Boil the eggs, but do not drain the water, because this method requires hot eggs.

5. Take an egg and wet it with a napkin.

6. Take pencils and color the egg.

Decoupage Easter eggs from napkins

We will need:

• white eggs, patterned napkins, egg white and brush

1. Take a raw egg and separate the white from it. Beat the whites a little until they are thick. Many people write that you can use PVA glue instead of protein, but it seems to me that this is not safe. Prepare napkins with drawings for work.

2. Take a napkin and separate the topmost layer, which has a pattern.

3. Now cut out from the napkins the elements that you want to print on your egg.

4. These are the elements we got.

5. Take any element and place it on the egg. Dip the brush into the protein and coat the butterfly with the protein.

How to paint eggs for Easter with your own hands

The holiday of Easter is coming soon, which is one of the most significant and revered events of the Christian religion. On this day everyone says “Christ is risen!” and they give colored eggs and Easter cakes, and those who accept this gift say “Truly he is risen.” And if Easter cakes can be purchased in a store without any problems, then in order to get beautiful eggs you need to try. There are several types of gift eggs: krashenki (eggs painted one color), drapanki (eggs with a scratched pattern), pysanka (painted eggs) and krapanki (eggs covered with droplets of wax). We will describe modern methods, and one of the most popular is how to dye eggs in rags.

General tips:

- eggs must be fresh;

- you need to take them out of the refrigerator and wait at least half an hour for them to warm up to room temperature;

— potential paints must be washed thoroughly;

— in order for the egg to be bright and shiny after coloring, you need to rub it with a cloth moistened with vegetable oil.

List of popular ways to color eggs:

How to dye eggs for Easter in rags

You can dye the egg using bright silk rags or other rags that will probably fade when washed. Alternatively, buy scarves or ties with bright patterns at a flea market or sale. The front side of the flap must be tightly attached to the shell.

You can stitch the egg so that it does not slip. Next, you need to wrap it tightly in cotton and place it in a saucepan.

Pour water there and add 3 tablespoons of vinegar. Cook for about 15 minutes after boiling. After this, fill them with cold water and remove the fabric. The eggs will have the same pattern as the fabric.

In onion skins

The most classic and natural option. The result is shades from yellow to brown - all depending on the time of dyeing and the amount of husk. For example, if you need a bright red color, then you need to take the peels of six large onions and one and a half glasses of water. Boil it for 25-30 minutes. Wait until the solution sits for about an hour. After this, you can immerse the raw eggs in a boiling decoction of onion peels, cook as usual and rinse with chilled water (so that the eggs can be cleaned well).

How to color eggs in onion skins

Now there are many different ways to color eggs, but the most popular is traditional coloring in onion peels. The main reason is the naturalness of the paint, because during the painting process they can burst and the paint penetrates inside. Plus, this is a 100% guarantee of results, because the coloring will work out in any case, the intensity and depth of the color may differ.

The time to color eggs in the husk is 45 minutes.

We will need:

Chicken eggs

Onion peel

Table salt – 2 tablespoons

Vegetable oil

How to paint eggs for Easter in onion skins:

First you need to collect the onion skins. How much will it be needed? This directly depends on what color depth you want to achieve. If your goal is to get a rich burgundy color, then first you need eggs with white shells, and of course a lot of brown shells.

Fill the onion peel with water. At the same time, you need to remove the eggs from the refrigerator, wash them well, and leave them on the table to warm to room temperature. This will protect them from damage (cracks) during cooking.

Place the pan with the husks on the fire and wait until it boils.

After the husks boil, turn down the heat and cook the paint for 20-30 minutes. About 5 minutes before the end of cooking, add salt and stir. This should also prevent the shell from cracking.

Now you can dip the eggs in the onion paint. You can show your imagination and wrap the eggs in pieces of lace fabric. If you do this very tightly, a pattern will be imprinted on the egg.

Carefully drop the eggs into the paint one at a time. Using a spoon, push the husks away so that the eggs do not crowd on each other.

We take the experimental “models” in lace by the “tails”, and also dip them in onion peel paint.

Cook the eggs for 15-20 minutes. Some of them, of course, may burst. But if you don’t forget to add salt, most of it will remain intact.

After the specified time, take the eggs out of the paint with a spoon and place them in a container with cold water to cool and fix the color. That is, you shouldn’t scratch them with a spoon, we do everything carefully and accurately, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted. We remove pieces of lace from experimental models.

Wipe the cooled eggs dry. Attention – the paint may still transfer to the fabric, so take a towel that you don’t mind ruining. The results are well-colored eggs, the experiment was also a success - we see a clear imprint of the pattern on the shell. The only negative is that the eggs turn out matte, without shine. Therefore, drop a little vegetable oil onto a sponge and rub the eggs until they have a beautiful shine. Ours are ready!

To give the paints an even more festive look, you can stick on special Easter stickers. Now you know how to dye eggs naturally.

How to paint eggs for Easter with your own hands without dyes

Common products can also be used as dyes: purple (beet juice), yellow (carrot, orange pieces), green (spinach, nettle pieces), blue (red cabbage), beige (tea). You need to pour enough water into the pan to completely cover the eggs, then you need to add dye and 2 teaspoons of vinegar.

Leave to sit for about four hours. Place boiled eggs in a container with dye and leave for several hours. These dyes do not work as intensely as husks. Therefore, in some cases, eggs can be kept in solution for about a day.

Decoupage eggs

A fashionable option for decorating white eggs. To create such eggs you need gelatin glue and cute bright napkins (cut out the pattern and separate the top layer).

First, you need to hard boil the eggs. Then take a cut piece from a napkin and apply the pattern to the shell. Next, you need to apply gelatin glue from the middle of the picture to the edges.

Decorating Easter eggs using decoupage technique.

Eggs must be hard-boiled (10-12 minutes) and cooled completely. To decorate eggs, paper napkins should be used primarily with a beautiful, not very large design. It is advisable to take smooth napkins, three or two layers. You will also need a brush for painting and fresh egg white. Before separating the white from the yolk, the egg must be washed well with soap and wiped with a napkin.

The whites must be beaten thoroughly with a fork. Egg white is the easiest "glue" you can use. You can also make a paste from starch and water (heat 50 ml of water and 1 tablespoon of starch to a thick, almost transparent mass), and you can also use gelatin glue (0.5 teaspoon of gelatin, pour 100 ml of cold water, after 30 minutes, bring almost to a boil and cool to room temperature). All three methods are environmentally friendly and safe.

Separate the bottom white layer of the napkin from the colored one. There are napkins where you can easily separate 2 white layers, and there are napkins where the colored layer adheres very tightly to the white layer. At the initial stage, you need to separate the part that comes off easily.

For further convenience of decoupaging eggs, it is convenient not to cut out fragments of the drawings, but to tear them out with your hands, then when gluing, fewer wrinkles will form.

When you tear out the design, you will see if your napkin has another white layer. If you are decorating eggs with white shells, this white layer of the napkin must be removed; if your eggs are not white, then it is better to leave the bottom white layer of the napkin so that the design on the egg is clearer.

In this simple way we prepare drawings for decoupage eggs. Fragments should be pulled out both larger, on the sides of the egg, and smaller, on the top and bottom of the egg.

To glue a pattern to an egg, you first need to grease the desired area of ​​the egg with egg white, attach a dry piece of napkin with the pattern to it, and then use a brush to cover the top of the pattern with white. This should be done from the center of the picture to the edge.

It's best to glue small designs to the top and bottom of the egg first, and then glue larger pieces to the sides of the egg. The drawings should be glued slightly overlapping so that there are no empty spaces left (especially if the egg is not white). For decoupage, it is advisable to use an egg stand (for me, a yogurt lid successfully plays its role).

To dry completely, place the glued egg on a wire rack. After 30 minutes the eggs will be dry.

The decoupage technique will help you not only make beautiful eggs, but also have fun with your children, because it is a fascinating creative process.

An express method for decorating Easter eggs with napkins.

But if you suddenly have no time left to decorate Easter eggs, napkins come to the rescue again. To decorate boiled eggs, you just need to wrap them in colored, or even white, napkins like in knots and tie these knots with colored ribbons, ribbons, serpentine, New Year's rain or just colored threads. Decorative Easter eggs are ready!

Method No. 1

This is one of the simplest methods I've come across. But, in the end, Easter eggs turn out to be extraordinarily beautiful and unique: although they may be slightly similar.

Ingredients:

• eggs;
• napkins;
• food colors of various colors.

We paint eggs using napkins. Step by step recipe

1. Dilute food coloring according to the instructions on the package. I mostly use 5-6 colors, but you can use your own preference. Containers for paint - cups work great, but I mostly use plastic cups so I don't have to wash bright colors off my housewares later.
2. Boil the eggs for 7-10 minutes, add cold water for a couple of minutes and you can start coloring. We use them while still warm so that the colors stick better to the shell.
3. We wrap them in 2-3 layers of napkin so that it does not break through during coloring.
4. Using a spoon (teaspoon or table spoon), scoop up the dyes in random order and pour them onto the egg so that each time a new color is applied to an undyed fragment of the napkin.
5. When all places on the napkin are painted, press it with your hands directly to the shell. Place on a plate and leave for 15-20 minutes.
6. Then we remove the napkin, and we get delicious, varied and very beautiful colors.
7. Leave them until completely dry: at least 2 hours.

Method No. 2

This method is used to decorate gift versions of eggs; they are not eaten - this is a beautiful handmade craft. These eggs can be used to decorate a room, congratulate family and friends - and so on. I can't miss this painting method because the egg itself turns out just gorgeous. You know, you can look at it for a long time, making associations - it’s like looking into the starry sky.

Ingredients:

• container with water;
• toothpick or skewers;
• nail polish of different colors;

Marble eggs using nail polish at home. Step by step recipe

1. Since these eggs are not for consumption, we only need the shell for work. Using the tip of a knife or a needle, make small holes on both sides of the shell (2-3 millimeters in diameter). Using a juice straw, blow out the white and yolk from the middle.
2. Wash the shells well and dry them.
3. We pour water into a small container (bowl) (I use a bowl measuring approximately 10x7 centimeters), pour a few drops of different bright varnishes on top of it (I use mostly 4-5 colors, but you use yourself as a guide). You end up with a thin film. Stir it lightly using a toothpick or skewer.

Another tip: when you pour out the varnishes, make circular movements with your hand so that one bloom does not flow into one point.

1. We immerse the shell in water until it is completely covered with a varnish film. Take it out and dry it. To make the application set faster, I use a hair dryer.

Marble Easter eggs are ready! They turned out simply amazing, exclusive: so breathtaking! Before painting a new egg, carefully collect the remnants of the previous varnish in water and fill in a new batch of flowers.

Method No. 3

This method can be used both for eggs that will be served on the table, and for handmade crafts. The difference is that if you do not plan to eat them, then you can use regular PVA glue to fix the pictures and decorate the shell. And for edible eggs we use protein-based glue.

Ingredients:

• eggs;
• napkins with drawings;
• raw protein;
• food coloring - optional;
• scissors, brush, toothpicks.

Decoupage Easter eggs at home. Step by step recipe

1. Boil the eggs hard.
2. For edible glue: pass the protein through a sieve or shake slightly, but only so that foam bubbles do not form on its surface: because when it dries, the work will not look neat.
3. Separate the top layer of napkins (if you are using multi-layer ones) and carefully cut out the pictures. Please note: the larger the cut out picture, the more difficult it is to glue it beautifully.
4. Lubricate the surface of the shell with egg white, attach the cut out picture and smooth it out with your hands or a brush. Then dip your brush into the white and go over the top of the sticker. Apply “glue” from the center of the design to its edges, trying to expel all the air from under the napkin.
5. After this, proceed to gluing a new fragment, trying not to touch the previous one. When everything is applied, coat the entire surface of the shell with protein and place it on a rack of toothpicks to dry.
6. After 30 minutes, I re-coat it with protein “glue” and dry it again on toothpicks.

Original Easter eggs in decoupage style are ready! They turned out irresistible! If desired, you can additionally color with food coloring diluted in water - according to the instructions.

My advice is to wear gloves when painting and decorating. Firstly, you will avoid getting your hands dirty, and secondly, circles from fingerprints may remain on the shell - it doesn’t look neat.

A raw egg at room temperature should be wrapped in cloth so that the bright side is on the outside. To prevent the fabric from slipping, you can stitch the fabric along the contour. Next, the egg with the cloth should be wrapped in regular white cloth and carefully secured on both sides. Then add water and 3 tablespoons of vinegar to the pan.

Dyeing eggs for Easter is a fun and interesting activity that brings all family members together. According to church tradition, this is usually done on Maundy Thursday, when it is customary to clean the house, bathe and get a haircut. Easter eggs and krashanki are the first to be consumed at the festive table. In addition, they represent a talisman, so there is a custom of giving them at Easter. They are presented to relatives, friends, neighbors, visiting guests, taken with them when visiting, distributed to the poor and brought to church.

Nowadays, on the eve of the Resurrection of Christ, all stores sell a lot of food dyes, films, glitter, stickers and other decors for decorating eggs with Easter symbols. However, many housewives still dye eggs using old methods: onion skins, beet juice, red cabbage, etc. Today we’ll talk about various ways to dye eggs for Easter.

Natural dyes for eggs

Natural dyes are completely harmless to health. For a more intense color, after boiling, continue to keep the eggs in the colored broth until they acquire the desired shade. Once colored, remove them from the broth with a slotted spoon, place them on a plate and cool or decorate further.

• Onion peel. Remove the husk from the onion, fill it with water, boil and cook for 30–40 minutes over medium heat. Cool the broth and strain. Then put the eggs in it, boil and hard-boil for 7-10 minutes after boiling. Onion skins impart shades ranging from light yellow to bright red-brown.
• Spinach, nettle or brilliant green solution. Place the eggs in the pan along with the spinach and nettle leaves. Boil them hard for up to 10 minutes. The greens of the grass will give the green color. You can also get green pysanky with a solution of brilliant green, in which already boiled eggs are placed and kept until the desired color.
• Turmeric and violet. To get the yellow color of the eggs, the eggs are boiled in water with the addition of turmeric, and the purple ones are boiled with violet flowers. If you add lemon juice to violets, you get a lavender color.
• Walnut shell. The coloring method is the same; the eggs are boiled with walnut shells and turn out brown or light beige.
• Cranberry, blackberry and beet juice. These products will be colored pink. To get beet juice, boil peeled beets with vinegar until tender. Boil the eggs in the resulting broth. First wash the cranberries or blackberries, squeeze out the juice in any way convenient for you, and then boil the eggs in it in the same way.
• Carrot juice. Boil the peeled carrots to obtain a yellow broth. Dip the prepared eggs into the juice and boil hard.
• Coffee, hibiscus tea, mint tea. Boil eggs in ground coffee, get them brown or beige, in hibiscus tea - pink, with mint leaves - pistachio.

The meaning of Easter egg colors

• Red is the joy of life.
• Yellow - sun, moon, rich harvest.
• Blue - health, sky, air.

Decorating paints

• Blue stains. Grate boiled, colored and dried eggs with red cabbage leaves.
• Specks. Wash the eggs, roll in rice, buckwheat, millet or other grains so that the cereal sticks to them. Wrap them tightly in gauze, tie them tightly and cook in dye.
• Abstract drawing (stains). Wrap the eggs in onion skins and wrap them in cheesecloth. Boil them hard-boiled in any dye.
• Stripes. Put several rubber bands on the egg or wrap it with threads and cook it in dyes.
• Drawings. Attach any design to the egg (cut out of paper, leaves of parsley, dill, flowers, etc.). Place it in a stocking and tie it tightly. Cook in any dye. When it is cooked, remove the stocking and remove the design. The pysanka will be colored, and a clean place will remain where the drawing was.
• "Silk" dyeing. Wrap a raw egg in a natural silk cloth, secure it with thread and cook it with the addition of vinegar. They will produce exactly the same pattern as on the fabric.
• Wax drawing. Apply wax designs from a burning candle onto the egg using a match or toothpick. Dip it in warm temperature dye (hot water will melt the wax) and leave for the required time. Afterwards, remove the wax, the egg will be colored, but where the wax is applied will not.
• Scratches. On painted eggs that have almost cooled down, use a needle to make scratches of any pattern.
• Lace. Wrap the eggs in openwork lace and cook them into dyes. When you remove the lace, a beautiful pattern will remain on the surface.

Other ways to color eggs

2. Acrylic paints. Dilute the paints to a liquid consistency, dip a toothbrush into the paints and spray it onto the boiled painted Easter eggs.
3. Children's paints, gouache, pencils. For paints you will need a thin brush, for a pencil - a soft lead.
4. Glitter. Apply glue to the shell in a pattern and place the egg in a plate filled with cosmetic or special confectionery glitter.

4. To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking and protein leaking out of them, add ½ tbsp to the water. salt (per 1 liter of water).
5. You can paint quail eggs. But the exposure time in the dye must be reduced so that the contrast with the specks remains. They cook for no more than 5 minutes.
6. To ensure that the eggs dry carefully, place them on needles inserted in a 2x2 cm square into the foam.
7. After the paints have completely stained and cooled, they can be rubbed with a cotton swab dipped in vegetable oil. This will enhance the brightness of the color, add shine and saturation.

• Pour the coloring solution into a shallow, flat container.
• Treat eggs with vinegar before painting. Soak a small linen cloth in vinegar and wipe the shell of each egg. This is done to degrease the surface to be painted.
• Place a dry egg ready for painting on a tablespoon and dip it into the prepared solution.
• We perform these actions with the number of eggs that you want to paint in the chosen color.

An unusual way to paint eggs with dyes

For an unusual method of painting eggs, prepare them in the same way as described above. We dilute a packet of food coloring in 100 g of water and perform the following steps:

• Pour the coloring liquid into a tall glass so that it covers the bottom by 2 fingers.
• Place the prepared egg there. It should be half immersed in the dye solution.
• We wait 3-5 minutes and add regular water to the glass so that it completely covers the egg.

The Easter egg will turn out darker on one side, and on the other side the color will not be as saturated.

Painting eggs with dyes using electrical tape

The method is quite interesting. In addition to the above materials, you will need electrical tape.

• We cut the electrical tape into narrow strips.
• Wrap the prepared egg with electrical tape and a spiral.
• Dip it into a dye of the same color, for example yellow, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• We take it out, let it dry, remove the electrical tape.
• We wind the electrical tape on the other side, overlapping the previous strips.
• Dip it into a dye solution of a different color, blue or green, and leave for another 5 minutes.
• Place on a napkin and wait until dry, remove the tape.

The result is an original Easter egg with multi-colored spirals. The vowel condition is that the first dye should be several tones lighter than the second.
You can also cut out various figures from electrical tape, stick them on and follow the steps described above. Such eggs will not yield to their originality.

Coloring Easter eggs with dyes using a money eraser

The easiest way to make an original egg. You will need several rubber bands for money.

• We put rubber bands for money on the prepared eggs, twisting them chaotically.
• Color the egg using the classic method for 5 minutes.
• Take it out and let it dry.
• Remove the rubber band and the original egg is ready.

Experiment with dyes and available materials, and then the bright holiday of Easter will become not only bright, but also original and beautiful.

Spring is just around the corner, and with it one of the brightest holidays of the year - Easter. Both adults and children look forward to it. The tradition of exchanging colored eggs is familiar to every person since childhood. The multi-colored attributes of the holiday, for which we paint eggs for Easter, symbolize the resurrection of Christ and are presented with the words: “Christ is risen!” "Truly risen!" - and the one who congratulated receives an egg in return.

Types of Easter eggs

Every housewife tries to make beautiful and unusual eggs on this bright holiday. The name of the resulting eggs depends on which coloring method you use. For example, eggs painted in one color are called krashenki. Eggs with multi-colored dots due to droplets of wax are called specks. Drapanka is a one-color egg with a scratched pattern. With a design or pattern made using a special tool - a pisachka - these are pysanky. They are the most beautiful, they can even be called works of art.

Preparing eggs for painting

There are many ways to dye eggs for Easter. However, regardless of the option chosen, it is necessary to prepare correctly. Here are some tips:

• An hour before coloring, remove the eggs from the refrigerator so that they reach room temperature. In this case, they will not burst during cooking. The same result can be achieved by piercing the eggs with a thin sharp needle;
• In order for the paint to lay more evenly, they must be washed thoroughly. Uniform coloring can also be ensured by wiping the eggs with soapy water or alcohol;
• Painted eggs will acquire a shiny appearance if, after painting, they are wiped dry and rubbed with vegetable oil.

Now you can proceed directly to painting the eggs. Here are a few ways, among which everyone can find the most suitable one for themselves.

The first method: a classic of the genre - in onion peels with patterns

This is the way of our grandmothers, which still remains relevant. As a result, you can get red eggs, as well as yellow, brown or their shades - it all depends on the intensity of the paint and the duration of the dyeing procedure.

When cooked in onion skins, the colors turn out to be monochromatic. To decorate them with imprints of flowers or leaves, you will need the fragments of dried plants themselves and what you will use to fix them on the shell. It is best to use stocking nylon as a retainer. If you don’t have it, you can take regular white thread or gauze (bandage).

To prevent dry plants from crumbling during the attachment process, soak them in hot water for a few minutes. After softening, place on the shell and secure by covering the egg with nylon, bandage or thread. Next, lower the eggs into the water with the onion skins and let them cook.

To get straight lines or geometric patterns of natural color on a red-brown background, stick pieces of electrical tape or stationery tape onto the shells of raw eggs degreased with alcohol. After cooking in onion skins, the stickers can be easily removed, revealing unpainted areas.

Second method: gifts of nature - natural dyes

Many natural ingredients have a coloring effect. This allows you to obtain a variety of colors and shades. Pink color comes from beet juice, pale yellow from lemon, orange, carrots, yellow from birch leaves and calendula flowers. Green color can be achieved with spinach or nettles, blue with red cabbage. Coffee gives the beige color to the eggs, and violet flowers give the purple color. Some dyes are not very intense, for example, violet or spinach, so eggs can be left in such decoctions overnight.

1. Pour water into a saucepan, add vinegar (1 tbsp) and natural dye. Bring to a boil. Let the broth brew (about 30 minutes).
2. Boil the prepared eggs in the broth depending on the desired shade - from 15 to 30 minutes. If necessary, you can leave the eggs in the broth longer - for a day.

Third: decoupage technique

To decorate an Easter egg with a picture, you don't have to buy stickers. You can decorate it using decoupage technique.

Fourth: the food industry presents - food colorings

1. Boil the eggs hard.
2. Dilute the dyes with water - each color in a separate bowl. There should be enough water to cover the eggs. Add vinegar (1 tbsp).
3. Keep the eggs in bowls until they begin to color.

The result is bright, colorful eggs that are pleasing to the eye.

Fifth: colorful palette - colored threads

To get intricate patterns, paint the eggs with multi-colored floss threads:

4. Dip each egg in the dark color and remove immediately. A beautiful marble pattern is obtained if you do this no more than once.

Seventh: eggs in silks

Exquisite eggs with designs are obtained by painting them with fabrics. You can use a silk tie or a Pavloposad woolen scarf.

1. A raw egg should be wrapped in a cloth with a pattern. The front side should fit tightly to the shell.
2. To prevent the fabric from slipping, sew along the contour. Wrap it over the colored cotton fabric, securing it at the blunt end.

1. Pour water into the pan, add vinegar (3 tbsp). Place the eggs wrapped in cloth into the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes after boiling.
2. Pour cold water over the prepared eggs. When they are completely cool, carefully remove the cloth. A thin pattern will remain on the egg, just like on fabric.

Eighth: fantasies in patterns using scrap materials

• chaotic specks can be achieved if wet eggs are rolled in rice or millet before coloring;
• a leaf-shaped design can be obtained by attaching a parsley leaf to the egg before painting and securing it with gauze or stocking;
• To ensure that straight lines cross the egg, you can glue masking tape to its shell or pull a money elastic band over it;
• symbols or letters XB can be glued on before painting using adhesive tape or masking tape. After painting, they should be carefully removed;
• You can get “checkered” eggs if you boil them wrapped in fishnet stockings or a net from fruits or vegetables.
• a lace pattern will decorate an egg if, before painting, an interesting lace motif cut from a napkin is attached to it;
• paint the egg with wax crayons. The drawing will appear at the end of the staining procedure.

An indispensable way for busy people is to decorate Easter eggs with iron-on stickers. They are sold on the eve of the holiday in supermarkets, newsstands and other stores.

2. Place a sticker on the egg. To avoid problems with size (the sticker may be small), it is better to choose medium-sized eggs.
3. Dip the egg into boiling water so that the sticker “hugs” it and takes the desired shape.

Eleventh: stencils - back to the future

Using stencils to color eggshells is a relatively traditional method. But as they say, “The new is the well-forgotten old.” Let's remember the times when drawing images using stencils was a very entertaining activity. You feel like an artist. We invite you to remember this technique and try it on Easter eggs. The result will be surprising.

1. Cut out any stencil image from ultra-thin paper (tracing paper). It can be anything (Easter theme, images of saints, and even your favorite brand). You can find an image for a stencil on the Internet or on the pages of books and magazines. The better the image and stencil, the more impressive the result.
2. We moisten the made stencil base with water until plastic paper is formed, capable of taking on the shape of a shell.
3. We firmly attach the moistened stencil to the surface. If the design is small in format, it can be duplicated along the entire perimeter, rather than being limited to one side.
4. We fix it with a stencil, wrapping it with nylon or gauze. Boil the eggs using any types of dyes (natural, food) for coloring.
5. After cooking them, take them out and let them cool.
6. We remove the material fixing the stencil and the stencil base only after they have cooled completely.
7. The design you have chosen is visible on the eggshell.

Combine your creativity and your child’s imagination, giving him the opportunity to do the same, but only with colored markers or honey-based watercolor paints. You will both be happy: joint work is conducive.

Thirteenth: foil and colored confetti - simple but tasteful

Fashion trends are so diverse that it is no longer necessary to paint Easter eggs; you can take the path of least resistance - wrap them in colored foil.

1. Buy colored foil (don't limit yourself to the standard gold and silver foil) and colored paper from an office supply store.
2. Boil the eggs.
3. Let them cool.
4. Cut the foil into equal parts according to the number of eggs.
5. Pre-make the elements for the applique. Instead of applique, you can use ready-made confetti.

Fourteenth: snow-white patterns with powdered sugar

Sugar will help diversify and make traditional dyes more stylish. Unusual patterns and printed texture make eggshells irresistible.

1. We paint in the standard way, using various dyes.
2. Mix a glass of powdered sugar with a small volume of water so that a fairly thick consistency is formed. The resulting mass should be homogeneous, that is, not contain lumps. If you don’t have powdered sugar, you can easily make it yourself; to do this, you just need to place the sugar (there should be more than a glass) in a coffee grinder. The quality of the powder is not inferior to store bought.
3. We take the sugar solution into a pastry syringe.
4. We apply the pattern and let the solution harden.

10. Keep it in the paint solution for a minute. It is important that the paint has time to adhere to the shell.
11. Remove and dry thoroughly on a paper towel.

This sequence can be carried out several times, changing only the paint solutions.

Sixteenth: wax pencils (crayons)

Using regular wax crayons for children's creativity, you can color Easter eggs with all the colors of the rainbow. And also apply a white (lace) pattern on them.

How to get a color drawing on a natural background:

1. Boil the eggs in clean water with added salt. The color of the shell can be any color, since it will be hidden under a layer of opaque wax.
2. Once ready, drain the shells and place the eggs on special stands. Instead of coasters, you can use caps from plastic bottles.
3. While the eggs are still warm, color them with colored crayons. When it comes into contact with a hot surface, the wax melts and forms bizarre, bright patterns with color transitions on the shell.

You can also grate pencils on a fine grater and sprinkle them on freshly boiled eggs. Grains of wax will create an unusual speckled or cosmic pattern on them. By the way, some housewives melt wax crumbs in a water bath and dip the eggs in liquid dye. Or apply a drawing using a brush.

How to get a white pattern on a colored background:

• Rinse raw eggs with running water and rinse with soapy water (this will help the paint lie more evenly).
• Dry the shell with a towel. Draw a design on it with wax pencils (the color of the pencils does not matter).
• Dip the eggs into a solution of any dye and let them cook. During cooking, the wax will melt and go into water, and the places that were under it will remain unpainted.
• After removing from heat, immediately remove the dyes from the solution.

Seventeenth: candle, cereal, confectionery topping

Easter eggs can be decorated with the most common cereals - rice, millet, buckwheat, peas, lentils, ground corn. And also - confectionery topping made from colored glaze or chocolate, small star-shaped noodles and even beads. To secure all this to the shell, you will need a wax or paraffin candle.

1. Boil the eggs. You can pre-color them in any way or leave them natural.
2. After cooling, take the egg in your hands, light a candle and apply a pattern to the shell with melted paraffin or wax. This will be the adhesive base. Try not to touch the egg with the flame so that no soot remains on it.
3. Before the wax hardens, roll the egg in the cereal (sprinkling) or lay out the pattern with your hands.
4. After hardening, grease the surface covered with cereal with vegetable oil to make it shiny. This will make the egg look more elegant.

Eighteenth: cocoa and eyes

Together with your children, you can decorate eggs with diluted cocoa powder and decorative stickers; it will turn out very original and unusual. You can draw anything: faces, faces of animals or insects.
