Decorating Easter eggs is a great way to celebrate Easter with family and friends of all ages. From traditional dyeing to colorful glitter and silk ties - there are many ways you can decorate Easter eggs. Below are a number of ways so that you can make special Easter eggs yourself.
To step

- A heat-resistant bowl, cup or pot
- 4 tsp. natural vinegar
- 1 cup of warm water
- Food coloring
- A grab
Protect your work surface with kitchen paper, newspapers or a plastic tarp. You can protect your clothes with an apron. This is because paint can stain clothes, countertops and tables.
Let the eggs dry thoroughly and then carefully put them back in the egg carton. Let them dry a little longer before touching them again.

Tips
- If you are trying to make several layers of color, it is best to start with a light color. You can always color the eggs darker, but you cannot make darker colors lighter.
- Try quail, ostrich, or brown eggs for different effects.
- You can mix many colors with the few colors that come in a food coloring package. If you mix some green with blue you have petrol and with a little yellow with green you have lime.
- You can put stickers on any design to add even more color and your personal taste to the eggs and it's fun too.
