Everyone has a fond m em ory o f dyeing Easter eggs as a child, or maybe
it’s w atching the eager faces o f your children anxiously anticipating the
m etam orphosis from the ordinary to that o f m agical colors. These
m em ories fortunately last as long as the spilled dye on the kitchen
cabinets and thankfully not as long as the E aster grass renegades that
linger long after Labor Day.
W hile spring cleaning I found a dusty collection o f m ixed m atched
coffee cups, all o f w hich bore the unm istakable signs o f E aster egg dye.
The choices and options for egg dyeing have changed quite a bit over
the years: convenience, cost, ingredients and even the colors palettes.
W ith these changes com e higher expectations o f dyeing the perfect egg.
Now anything goes.
*The Easter Bunny, an Easter consultant and eggologist, provides the
following tips.
EGGOLOGY101
• T o start: cover a table with lay
ers o f old new spaper to soak up
any spills.
• T he secret to beautiful eggs is
to let the eggs dry thoroughly
betw een coats o f dye.
• Use em pty egg cartons as d ry
ing racks. K eep p aper tow els
handy to blot o ff any dye that
pools underneath the eggs.
• F o rco lo rfast egg dyes, mix 7-8 drops o f food coloring into 1 c u p o fh o t
water. Stir in '4 cup vinegar. For m ore intense colors, use small am ounts
o f professional-quality food coloring gels or pastes, available at craft,
cake decorating and kitchen supply stores.
Special Effects:
• For spattered eggs, dip egg in a base color and let dry. D ip a clean
toothbrush in a contrasting liquid color and carefully flick bristles with
your fingers to m ake a paint splatter onto egg.
• For m arbleized eggs, coat eggs with a base color and let d ry . Mix canola
or other light cooking oil into another color o f dye (1-tsp. oil per cup o f
dye) and quickly dunk eggs. T he oil will repel color in som e places and
the dye will adhere in others, creating a m arbled effect.
Homemade Dyes
T o m ake your own natural dyes, boil com m on ingredients in w ater with
a tablespoon o f vinegar until desired shade is reached. Strain to rem ove
solids.
