Does anyone have any good tips? Those PEZ kits are lame.

Thanks!
 
only the one with the white crayon, lol

draw on it with a white crayon then dunk it
 
I am looking for a more vibrant color. The main one they sell inthe stores is PEZ, and the color is so pale.
 
Wait until precocious dyes her eggs and turns in for the night.

The key to her house is by the back door, third fake rock on the right.

have some raw hamburger meat to give to Fido (JerryP are you listening?) ready.

open the back door - toss in the meat, wait for the dog to start eating and steal her eggs while Fido is chowing down.

She does a great job decorating her eggs and you won't have any mess to clean up. ;)

Obviously you've never heard of my eggs.....:rolleyes:

They are Czechoslovakian in heritage and require many pain staking hours of not 'crayon-ing' but heated pins stuck in pencil erasers and hot wax. Then, the egg is carefully submerged for a certain amount of time in vegetable dye and vinegar solution. I cannot be more specific or else the 'secret family recipe' will be given away. But rest assured, my eggs are "to die for". ;)

They compare to this.................

They are beautiful.... better hide that key! LOL
 
Get some food color, it's easy & you get a lot more. Instructions on how to use it should be on the box.
 
Preco, you say a rabbit laid those?
 
That's what the Easter Bunny told me.......:05:
 
Hey Snibble :wave: - I agree about the Paas kits, but I'm sorry I can't help ya. I use those kits because (in our family Lithuanian tradition) we all look forward to Easter egg-cracking :bigok: and I can't see spending all that time to decorate and embelish eggs that are sure to be destroyed :worry: .... Good luck and have fun!
 
Regular Food Coloring is what we use. And yes... the Paas sets are lame. Target has a new line of food coloring items that include florescent colors. I bought them there last year.

Use HOT water and put 2 tablespoons of Vinegar in each color to help the color set better.

If you want to go au natural, you can use onion skins, but then you have to boil the eggs with the onion skins in order to get the color. ... and you're limited to just a few colors.

If you store your eggs in the refrigerator on the side before you hard boil them, the egg yolk will be more centered. Otherwise the yolk has a tendency to "float".
 
Get some chickens. Ours give us green or brown eggs every day.
 
:theyareon See, and you doubted the chicken rituals :peep:
