Scouting around on Pinterest, I found an easy way to color hard boiled eggs for Easter decorations.
Steps for a DIY project that literally takes only a minute!
- hard boil some eggs
- add water to within an inch from the brim in a throw away cup
- add glops of old nail polish in all the colors you have accumulated (yes, go ahead and splurge and use your new colors, too)
- the colors do not mix, kinda like oil and water won't mix, don't worry
- put an egg in the water, roll it around and voila! the shells take on the nail polish
- use a plastic spoon to remove your egg from the water
- put your colored eggs on a paper towel to dry
- discard your throw away cup
Pretty! I am in the mood to dye eggs. I must figure that out again! I have OVERDONE the Easter candy so I am in the mood for moist lemon cake now. Take care, Nancy! Happy Easter week!
