Tie Dye Easter Eggs

With Easter quickly approaching we have been testing out all the different fun ways to die Easter eggs this year. We have made Glitter Easter Eggs, dyed Easter eggs with rice, traditional Easter Eggs with food coloring, and made Natural Easter Egg dye in the Instant Pot, but I have to say these tie dye Easter Eggs might just be my favorite. 

Tie dye Easter eggs create vibrant colored, unique eggs that no matter how you try won’t look quite the same as one another. These are sure to be a hit with the whole family. So skip the vinegar and water cups and try your hand at these tie dye Easter eggs.  

Items Needed:

• Boiled Eggs
• Coffee Filters
• Water Based Food Coloring
• Rubber Bands
• Paper Towels
• Rubber Gloves (optional)

How to Tie Dye Easter Eggs

• Place one egg in the middle of one coffee filter and wrap it tightly, bringing the excess coffee filter to the tip of the egg and securing it with a rubber band.

• Get your food coloring and start with one color, putting one drop in random spots around the egg. Do this with as many colors as you like, however, I tend to use 4 different colors, the basic red, green, blue, and yellow are what I used in this recipe. Do this until the coffee filter around the egg is mostly filled with food coloring. It spreads, so a little goes a long way.

• Leave the eggs to sit for 5 minutes.

• Using rubber gloves if desired, gently unwrap the eggs and pat them dry with a paper towel.

• Set them back in the egg carton to dry for about 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips Tricks and FAQs

• Feel free to use any combination of colors that you would like. The colors will change slightly from the color you originally added to the egg. This is because as the eggs dry they will lighten up a bit as well as mix with other colors. For example, red usually will look pink. 
• If you do not have coffee filters, you can use paper towels. We found that the coffee filters do work much better for color transfer. 
• The coffee filters work with all sizes of eggs from small to x-large. 
• You can use brown eggs or farm fresh eggs. The eggs will be a bit darker on brown eggs. 
• The longer the eggs stay wrapped, the darker they will be because they have more time to saturate all the colors.
