Add: the food coloring and vinegar
Heat: water almost to the boiling point
Lower: eggs into the dye [see how to blow out an egg]
Leave: eggs in the dye until desired color is achieved.
Please Note: For smaller amounts of dye, use 1/4 teaspoon food coloring, 3/4 cup hot water and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. (see below)
Simplify
Ready set go and measure 1/4 teaspoon food colouring and put it in a bowl. Add
3/4 cup hot water and 1 tablespoon white vinegar to the mix. Eggscellent! Now,
lower an egg into the dye and leave it in until the colour looks right. When
ready, remove the egg and let it dry. Perfect! Now, do this for each colour
you wish to use.
