Prepare the Dye for the Easter Eggs

Stephanie Gallagher
Spread the newspaper over your work surface.

If you want to make designs on your eggs, you can draw on the eggs with crayons. The wax will not come off when you dye the eggs.

Now prepare the dye for coloring your Easter eggs. You will need a separate cup or container for each color.

Place one teaspoon of vinegar in each container. Add about 1-1/2 cups of hot water (hot tap water is fine) to the vinegar.
