Dyeing speckled eggs is very quick and easy. Children will especially love the process of coloring Easter eggs. In addition, it is quite simple to create any pattern on the shell.
It is necessary
- - eggs
- - dye or onion peel
- - water
- - nylon stocking
- - rice
- - paper - bandage
- - alcohol
- - flowers or leaves
Instructions
Step 1
We paint the eggs speckled.
We dilute the usual dye in cold water (1 teaspoon of the dye per 50 ml of water), add 0.5 tsp. vinegar 3%.
Add a handful of rice to the dye and mix. Drain off excess liquid. We take a white boiled (hot) egg, put it in colored rice. We close the container with a lid and shake it slightly several times. The egg is speckled. The paint on a hot egg dries up almost instantly, therefore, putting the egg in a jar of rice of a different color, you can get multi-colored specks.
Step 2
Create a drawing on the shell using paper.
We cut out any shape from self-adhesive paper, for example, a bird. We glue it on the egg. The egg can be pre-wiped with alcohol. Place the egg in an elastic tubular bandage of a suitable size. Tie the ends of the bandage with threads. We color the egg in dye or onion peel. After the egg is completely dry, you can remove the bandage and sticker. The shell was not painted under the sticker and it turned out to be a drawing. In addition, a pattern of bandage threads was displayed on the egg.
Step 3
Create a drawing using flowers and leaves.
We need fresh flowers or leaves. Leaves or flowers must be moistened with water and laid out beautifully on the egg. Gently put on a nylon stocking from above to fix the flower. Tie the ends of the stocking with elastic bands. We color the egg with food coloring according to the instructions. We take out the egg, dry it, remove the stocking and remove the flower. A floral ornament is reflected on the shell.
