How to Dye Tissue Paper Easter Eggs
Wrap Eggs
Special bleeding tissue composition gives these egg their hazardous motive . Before you begin , select colors of tissue paper paper that oppose yourEaster decorscheme . disregard two 6 - column inch squares of two different color of bleeding tissue paper . Crumple the squares , reopen them , and wrap them around a severely - boiled or ablown - out egg . Then wrap the egg and tissue paper with a field goal coffee bean filter and secure the filter around the egg with a rubber stria .
Keep in mind the hard - cooked orchis will not be edible after you ’ve transplant the tissue paper design since tissue paper newspaper is not solid food - safe . For live on decorations you may practice yr after year , use bodge - out eggs or ceramic eggs , which can be retrieve at local crafts stores .
Dip Eggs
Once you ’ve wrapped as many eggs as you need to decorate , fill a disposable cup two - thirds of the way full with white vinegar . Wearing disposable gloves , inundate a coffee filter - covered egg in vinegar until the whole bollock is wet . Take it out of the acetum , but do n’t unwrap the tissue paper or the chocolate filter just yet .
Let Eggs Dry Overnight
As you remove the eggs , station them ( still wrapped in tissue and coffee filters ) on a wire rack to dry overnight . Place report towels under the rack to prevent any dyed vinegar from dripping onto and staining your work aerofoil . rent the ball stand overnight before removing the wraps to reveal the traffic pattern underneath .
They might not be totally dry when you transfer the wraps , so pass over each testis mildly to remove excess acetum or dye . ( blob instead of wiping will help preserve the pattern . ) If you dye blown - out or ceramic ballock , conceive sealing them with a protective coat and letting them dry again before expose . This will make your existence last longer so you may reuse them for next year’sEaster interior decoration .
