Instructions
Step 1
Preparation of paints: Mix 5 g of paint with a teaspoon of salt, add a little hot water and stir until the components are completely dissolved. Then add hot water to 25-300 gr. We make as many multi-colored solutions as needed.
Step 2
Wash eggs before starting work, they must be clean. And dry them. Hands must also be clean, otherwise a lot of dirt can be created. Then, using a simple pencil, divide the egg into segments, then it will be easier for you to apply the rest of the drawing. Apply the basic pattern.
Step 3
Then you need to apply wax to the egg. Before that, the wax and the brush (scribblers) must be heated. The first time the brush needs to be held in the wax for about a minute, then you can reduce this time to 10 seconds.
Step 4
First, apply wax to the areas that should remain white. After that, immerse the egg, for example, in yellow paint for a couple of minutes. Having taken the egg out of the paint, you need to gently blot it with a napkin, and then cover those elements of the pattern that should be yellow with wax. Then the egg is dipped in red paint for a few minutes, taken out, wiped with a napkin, covered with wax those areas that should remain red. And once again, you can dip the egg in black paint.
Step 5
After you remove the egg from the black paint, bring it to the fire (near the candle) and hold it until the wax melts. Then rub the wax well over the surface of the egg. That's all, the egg is ready.
