Watercolor Drip Dyed Easter Eggs

This post was brought to you by PAAS. All opinions are 100% my own. Find out more about their products here or connect with them on Facebook.

It’s probably no surprise that coloring Easter eggs is hands down my favorite Easter tradition.

Every year I like to play around with different techniques, and this year I wanted to try to give my eggs a watercolor look. These pretty drip dyed eggs are what I came up with. They are a lot of fun to make and easy enough to do with the kiddos! My kids loved watching the colors drip and blend.

PAAS sent me a bunch of their dying kits to play with (there is a really fun foil one I can’t wait to give a try!), but I ended up using the original kit.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • PAAS Egg Dye Tablets
  • White Vinegar
  • Water
  • Round Brush
  • Hard Boiled Eggs
  • Paper Towels
Start off by placing the tablets in the wells of the palette. If you don’t have a palette on hand, you can use small plastic cups or old mason jars.
I decided to use vinegar instead of water because it gives your eggs a more vibrant color. Just pour the vinegar over the tablets and they will bubble and dissolve.

Now you are all ready to paint!

Begin by dipping your egg in water. When the surface of the egg is wet, the colors will drip and blend to give it that pretty watercolor look.

 

Then, holding the egg on the bottom with one hand, load your brush with dye and touch it to the top of the wet egg. The color will run down the sides.
After it has spread a bit, you can go back and add another color to the top of the egg.
Place the eggs in the carton or drying rack to dry, and that’s it!
These were so much fun to make, and I think they turned out so pretty! What’s your favorite way to decorate eggs?
 Happy Making!
