Speckled Easter Eggs
Hard boiled eggs
For each batch of dye:
1 cup hot water
1/4 cup white vinegar
8 -10 drops of liquid food coloring
2 -3 tablespoons Oil
Paper towels
Adult supervision is advised. Cover work surface with newspaper. In
a glass container large enough to hold an egg and dye, combine the
hot water, white vinegar and food coloring.
Stir in 3 tablespoons Oil. Repeat to create an assortment of dye
colors.
Gently submerge an egg into the dye; with a slotted spoon, lift and
lower several times.
Remove to paper towels and gently blot completely dry before dying
in a second color. Patterns can be made using a paint brush.
For best results, don't use more than 2-3 colors per egg. Dry
completely on paper towels.
Store in the refrigerator. (Note: Reserve egg cartons for storage).
Note: USE FOOD DYES ONLY
