- Dye the eggs - Drop an egg in the dye and leave for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how dark you want the color. Pro tip - I used 6 paper cups with dyes and made two eggs in each, one after the other.12 large Eggs
- Dry - Using a spoon take the egg out and place it on the paper towel to dry.
Speckled Easter Eggs
- Color - On a small plate, add 1 tsp of brown food color with 1 tsp of water. Dip the bristles of a clean unused toothbrush in the color and dab excess.
- Speckle - Once the colored eggs are dry, flick the paint off the toothbrush with your finger so it splashed on the eggs. This splashed color on the eggs gives them a speckled look.
Two-tone Easter eggs
- Rubber band - wrap each egg with a rubber band before you drop them into the food color. Once dried, take the rubber band out.
- Two colors - Dye the eggs with the classic method and leave them to dry. Then, wrap a rubber band around each and drop it into the second color. Remove the rubber band to reveal the first color.
