How to Decorate Color-Blocked Eggs

BOIL two cups of water, then ADD two tablespoons of vinegar to the hot water.

FILL the cups of a muffin pan or a small bowl with about half an inch of the hot water. ADD liquid food coloring based on the color formulas below or to achieve your own desired color palette.

Use a toothpick or spoon to STIR the food coloring together until completely blended, then give it another quick stir before dipping your egg into the dye bath.

Wearing disposable gloves, PICK UP your egg and gently DIP one side of the egg into the dye bath. The dye should not cover the entire egg and you should continue to hold the egg in place while it’s in the dye bath so it doesn’t roll over. HOLD the egg in place for several seconds for lighter colors or around a minute for deeper/more saturated colors.

REMOVE from the dye bath and pat dry with a paper towel.

REPEAT steps 2 and 3 with a second and third dye color (if desired), covering a different portion of the egg with each new dye color.
