Ingredients

  • 12 hard-cooked eggs

  • Holding tied end, squeeze drops of food colorings in random patterns on wrapped eggs. Repeat with other colors. Unwrap carefully; place in an egg carton to dry completely. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 1 dozen.

Tip

Coloring Eggs for Easter

If coloring the eggs for Easter, return them to the refrigerator as soon as you're done dyeing them. Don't let hard-cooked eggs stand at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If you plan on using hard-cooked eggs as Easter decorations, cook extra eggs for eating and discard the eggs on display. Don't eat any colored eggs that have cracked. Either throw them out immediately or use them for display and then discard.

We're doing Easter eggs today and having no cheesecloth and no time to go get any, the coffee filter hint is a life/time/saver. Love the novelty of tie-dyed eggs.

My daughter and her children use coffee filters then you don't have to cut squares of cloth.
