1/4 teaspoon of each food color*
3/4 cup of boiling water for each color
1 tablespoon of vinegar for each color
Hard boiled eggs
Vegetable oil (optional)
YOU'LL NEED:
Teakettle
Sm. glass bowls (for each color)
Measuring spoons
Measuring cups
Teaspoons
Cooling racks or paper towels
For each color desired for dyeing, measure food color, water, and vinegar (in the above amounts) into a bowl about the size of a cereal dish. Mix well with a spoon; leave the spoon in the bowl so the colors don't get mixed together from bowl to bowl. Gently place an egg in a bowl of dye, turning with a spoon for even coloring. When the egg is dyed to the color you want, use a teaspoon to lift the egg to a cooling rack to dry. If using paper towels, pat gently to dry so the egg is not sitting in a puddle of dye. When almost through dyeing colors, you may want to try a "marbled" look. Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to a bowl of color; stir and dip egg briefly. Note: To make orange, mix equal amounts of red and yellow food color; to make purple, mix blue and red; to make green, mix blue and yellow. |
