Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces White eggs
- 6 colors Liquid food coloring
- 0.5 cup Distilled white vinegar
- 4 cups Water
- 1 roll Paper towels
- 1 pair Plastic gloves
- 12 pieces Rubber bands
- 1 unit Spray bottle
Instructions
Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to hard-boil the eggs.
Carefully remove the eggs and transfer them to an ice water bath to cool completely. Dry the eggs thoroughly using a towel.
Mix the distilled white vinegar and 4 cups of water in a spray bottle. Shake well to combine.
Cut the paper towels into squares large enough to wrap around each egg individually.
Place an egg in the center of a paper towel square. Using plastic gloves to protect your hands, drip liquid food coloring onto the paper towel-covered egg. Use multiple colors for a tie-dye effect.
Lightly spritz the wrapped egg with the vinegar and water solution from the spray bottle. This helps the colors blend together.
Twist the ends of the paper towel around the egg and secure it with a rubber band, ensuring the paper towel stays tightly in place.
Repeat the process for all the eggs. Let the eggs sit for about 1 hour to allow the colors to set and intensify.
Carefully remove the rubber bands and unwrap the paper towels to reveal your tie-dye Easter eggs.
Let the eggs dry completely before displaying or serving. Enjoy your beautiful, homemade tie-dye Easter eggs!
