Step-by-Step Directions

Follow these easy instructions to learn how to make colorful dyed Easter eggs. You should be able to complete this Easter craft in under an hour.

Step 1: Wrap Eggs

Special bleeding tissue paper gives these eggs their wild motifs. Cut two 6-inch squares of two colors of bleeding tissue paper. Crumple the squares, reopen, and wrap them around a hard-boiled or a blown-out egg. Then wrap with a basket coffee filter and secure the top with a rubber band. Editor’s Tip: Keep in mind the hard-cooked eggs will not be edible after you’ve transferred the tissue paper design. For lasting decorations, use blown-out eggs.

Step 2: Dip Eggs

Fill a disposable cup two-thirds full with white vinegar. Wearing disposable gloves, submerge the egg in vinegar until wet. Let egg stand overnight on a wire rack set over paper towels before removing wraps. Wipe the eggs gently to remove any excess dye.
