Instructions
Step 1
Decorating eggs for Easter at home
Boil eggs until tender. Take several bowls, pour a glass of hot water into them, dissolve a packet of food coloring in each bowl (use different colors of dyes). Cut the linen rope into pieces one meter at a time, place them in bowls of bright water. When the water has cooled, remove the ropes and dry them.
Now start decorating the eggs: take the egg and put some glue on its pointed part and glue one of the ends of the rope. Gently wrap the rope around the entire egg in a spiral, trying to make the turns as close to each other as possible. Glue the other end of the string to the egg.
Cut one of the ropes into pieces of 5-10 centimeters and glue them to the egg wrapped with a rope in the form of any patterns: flowers, stars, hearts, curls, etc.
Decorate the rest of the eggs in the same way, using a new color of rope each time.
Step 2
Decorating eggs for Easter for children
Boil the eggs. Dissolve the colors in different bowls and place the eggs in them for at least an hour. Wipe off the painted eggs from water.
Using gouache on each egg, draw eyes, a nose and a mouth, and so that you get funny faces. If you're not doing very well with drawing, then get the appropriate stickers (images of eyes, lips, noses, etc.) from the office supply store and use them to decorate the eggs.
Step 3
Decorating eggs for Easter with children
On the eve of Easter, almost every store sells special films designed to decorate eggs. Buy some of your favorites and try decorating eggs with them with your children.
Boil the required number of eggs. Cut the film into the desired pieces, then place the eggs in the resulting film-pockets. Boil water and pour it into a wide bowl. Place the eggs gently in the water for five to seven seconds. Use spoons to catch the decorated eggs out of the water and wipe them off.
Step 4
Decorating eggs for Easter with napkins
Boil the eggs in the onion skins (they will turn burgundy). Take beautiful napkins, for example, with flowers, fold them in the form of triangles. Wrap each egg with a napkin, secure the ends of the napkins with clothespins. Eggs decorated in this way do not need a stand.
It is worth noting that instead of clothespins, you can also use linen ropes or bright ribbons.
