Creating Marble Easter Eggs is fun and you get pretty eggs. It is also a fun project to do with the kids this Easter.
What Do you Need to Marble Dye Easter Eggs?
- Eggs (this is pretty essential, you will need eggs to have an Easter Egg)
- Oil
- Food Colouring
- Vinegar (for dying the eggs in the fizzy solution)
- Bicarbonate Soda (for dying the eggs in the Fizzy solution)
- Water
Method
- Hard Boil your eggs - If you would rather you can blow out the eggs so that you don't need to boil them and the eggs will be preserved. I used boiled eggs.
- Cool down the eggs so they are not hot
- Dye the eggs with an overall colour first. You can do this by using my Fizzy Dyed Eggs project
- We dyed ours with the fizzy method
- Fill a bowl with water and a tablespoon of oil and another colour food colour. We did this for a bit and then also added the food colouring directly to the egg.
- Dry off with paper towels after you are finished.
This might not be the way many do this but it worked for us. Give it a go and see what different patterns and differently dyed eggs you can create.
We noticed that some were not holding the colour so adding the dye straight onto the egg helped.
