This is just a small selection of recipes and tips, but it will help you create incredible beauty for the Easter holiday.
In onion skins
This is the safest, easiest, and most affordable way to make beautiful Easter eggs. The color of onion skins can vary from yellow and brown to maroon.
You will need a few handfuls of onion husks, water and white eggs. The longer you cook, the darker and brighter the color.
But if you use leaves, rice or gum, then you can create such a miracle.
Multicolored food coloring
You will need dyes for the eggs, which are sold just in preparation for Easter season.
Dissolve the dyes according to the instructions and cook the white eggs hard. Then wrap each egg with pieces of cloth or rubber bands.
Next, take a brush and, dipping in turn in different shades, moisten the eggs with it in random order, creating original patterns. Moreover, color blots can be done side by side or found on top of each other, creating beautiful transitions.
Or, dip the eggs with rubber bands into the dye solution and leave for ten to fifteen minutes so that the paint is well absorbed into the shell.
Next, remove the fabric or rubber bands from the egg. If you need to additionally paint over the highlighted areas with a different color.
Important! Work with gloves otherwise your hands will be covered in paint.
But if you paint the eggs as a whole, then you can paint them manually using acrylic paints.
Easter eggs are not just for Easter
This is the ancient ritual art of painting eggs with wax and paints. The tradition of painting a live egg has existed for over 5,000 years! And the symbols that are applied to the egg are not at all random.
Drawings on a pysanka egg are a sign of a talisman or talisman for a person, for a family, for a home.
For example, the cross on an egg is an ancient powerful protective symbol for the family. If you draw rhombuses on an egg, then it promises good luck in business, study, and creativity.
But poppies are good as wishes of health and prosperity to a loved one.
By the way, in some villages there used to be a tradition when every woman in the family had to draw 40 Easter eggs before Easter.
How to do it: the squirrel will need boiled eggs, paints, beeswax, a simple pencil, a candle, as well as a special device for applying wax - a brush (aka a scribbler).
First, a sketch of the pattern is applied with a simple pencil, and then, using a brush, the first layer of wax is applied to the places that should remain white.
Then the egg is dipped in paint, correspondingly all parts that are not filled with wax are painted over. Each subsequent layer is done in the same way. When the work is over, the layers of wax are removed and the result is a traditional and beautiful pattern.
Ready eggs are wiped with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil.
I wish you all health and patience! Everything will be fine!
