Soon the most important holiday of spring is Easter. One of the symbols of this holiday is painted and decorated eggs.
I want to tell you at once 3 ways how beautiful you can paint eggs for Easter. All methods are very simple and affordable. Children can be attracted to this decoration of eggs. They really enjoy doing this kind of creativity.
All we need is egg food coloring, baby stickers and rhinestones, and decorative napkins. And of course, good mood!
And although all 3 methods are extremely simple, colored eggs turn out to be bright, beautiful and unique. I just want to take them in my hands and take a closer look.
Be sure to take note of one or all three methods. It is beautiful and very simple.
Ingredients:
- eggs
- food colorings
- paper decorative napkins with a pattern
- kids stickers and rhinestones
Step by step recipe
First you need to boil the eggs hard-boiled.
Put raw, washed eggs at room temperature in a saucepan or saucepan. Pour in 1 tsp. salt and fill with water. We add salt so that the white and yolk do not leak into the water if the egg cracks. Put the eggs on the stove and cook over low heat after boiling for 5-6 minutes.
Method number 1
1. Now let's start painting the eggs.
For decoration, you will need such rhinestones with an adhesive base and round children's stickers. I have it in the form of emoticons.
2. Stick stickers on boiled eggs in a checkerboard pattern.
In the same way, we glue it on eggs and rhinestones.
3. We will paint with food dyes for eggs. Pour dye into each jar. According to the instructions, fill in the dry dye with 250 ml of hot water. And pour 1 tbsp into each jar. l. 9% vinegar.
We mix everything.
4. Gently dip the prepared eggs with a spoon in the diluted dye.
We leave the eggs there for 2-3 minutes.
5. Take out the dyed eggs and place them on a paper towel or unnecessary cloth.
We leave a few eggs with rhinestones and emoticons, they are already beautiful.
6. You can also remove the stickers, and then you get colored eggs with white polka dots.
Unfortunately, I did not get clear white circles due to the fact that the stickers and rhinestones are hard enough and do not adhere well to the spherical surface of the egg. If you can buy thin soft stickers, you will do better and the circles will have a clear outline.
7. You can color eggs in circles in another way.
First, as usual, paint the eggs in some color. I painted it yellow and blue.
Separately, in a small container, we dilute the paint with a small amount of hot water to get a more saturated color.
We take a painted egg and put dots on it with the prepared paint using an ear stick.
We try to put the dots in a checkerboard pattern. So that there are no drips, we take away the extra drops of paint with the other side of the cotton swab.
These are such cute eggs in a dot.
Method number 2
8. For the next dyeing method, paint all eggs yellow or leave them in their natural color.
On the eggs, using a brush and black food coloring, draw eyes and a mouth. It turns out funny emoticons.
You can also draw with food markers, it will be even more convenient.
If there is no black dye, then you can make it yourself by mixing blue and orange paint for eggs. You will also get black color if you mix red and green dye.
Smiley eggs immediately catch the eye and they want to smile in return.
9. In order to give the colored eggs a beautiful shine, grease them with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Method number 3
10. To decorate the eggs using the decoupage method, you will need white boiled eggs and decorative napkins with drawings.
We divide each napkin and leave only the upper part with the pattern.
11. We carefully tear out the fragment of the picture we like with our hands, you can also cut it out with scissors, but the torn edges are more harmoniously connected to each other.
Napkins with a small pattern are best suited for decoupage eggs. On eggs, both flower patterns and various ornaments look beautiful.
12. After preparing the drawings, take the egg white and beat it a little with a fork to destroy the structure of the protein.
13. Put the cut out drawing on a boiled egg and glue it on top with a brush dipped in protein.
This is how we decorate the whole egg.
It is best to use decorative napkins with a white or light background.
After decorating the whole egg, put it on a plate and let it dry.
14. Alternatively, you can decorate the egg by wrapping it completely in a napkin. To do this, put the napkin on the egg and start applying the protein, starting from the middle of the napkin and moving towards the edges.
When half of the egg is already decorated with a napkin, we turn it over in our hand. We bring all the edges of the napkin together and cut off the excess napkin with scissors.
On this side, we also glue the napkin with protein.
15. After all the eggs have dried, grease them with a small amount of sunflower oil. This will give them a beautiful shine.
16. These are the colorful and unusual Easter eggs.
