How to paint eggs for Easter. Coloring Easter eggs step by step with a photo

First, the eggs must be prepared. This is very important in order for the eggs to be beautiful.

Menu:

1. How to prepare for painting Easter eggs

Training:

1. It is best to buy white eggs because they take dye better. Eggs must be thoroughly washed.

Usually, eggs are stamped with a release date and more. This stigma must be washed off, because it will shine through any paint.

If it does not wash off with a sponge and warm water, try with soda powder and, in extreme cases, with table vinegar. This egg will not cause any harm, because we act on it in this way, for a short time.

Do not press hard on the egg. Since it is wet, it may crack. Eggs must be washed thoroughly. Because only on a clean egg will the paint lie evenly.

3. And one more trick. Soak a cotton pad with alcohol (for those who do not have alcohol at home, use 9% table vinegar) and wipe the eggs with it. This is to remove greasy stains from eggs from fingers. In this way we process all the eggs.

Do not forget! When processing eggs, they must be at room temperature.

4. Put the eggs in a saucepan and add a couple of tablespoons of salt so that the eggs do not crack during cooking. And fill cold water so that the eggs are completely covered.

By the way, to distinguish old from fresh eggs? When we fill them with water, the old egg floats up, and the fresh egg remains at the bottom.

5. Put the eggs to boil. We will cook on a small fire. Of course we will cook hard boiled. After they boil, you still need to cook for 7-10 minutes, if the eggs are store-bought. If the eggs are fresh country, you need to cook longer, after boiling for 13-15 minutes.

Do not forget, when you take out the boiled eggs from boiling water, be sure to dip them in ice water for a while, this is so that they can be cleaned better later. Just don't chill at all. Eggs should be warm when dyed.

Well, we've got the eggs. Now let's move on to coloring them.

1. How to paint beautiful eggs for Easter

1. We take a hard-boiled egg, wipe it again with alcohol or vinegar and wrap it in a paper napkin or paper towel, while you don’t have to try to evenly wrap the egg, just wrap it randomly, as if crushing a napkin (do not press hard, crush the egg).

Pour a little vinegar, as if getting wet, from all sides. Press the napkin (squeeze) more tightly to the egg.

2. Take the blue dye and randomly drip onto the egg. Let the dye spread a little.

3. We take another dye, yellow. Also, in a chaotic manner, we apply it to the egg.

4. We take the third dye, we have red and, like the first two, we apply it to the egg.

5. We squeeze the egg with our palms so that the napkin sticks well to the shell. At the same time, we get a napkin, as it were, one-color, evenly colored.

6. Before we paint the egg, we need to make a stand for it. We take an ordinary sponge, stick English needles into it according to the size of an egg and that's it, our stand is ready.

7. We put our egg in a napkin with dyes on a stand and let it dry a little.

8. After a couple of minutes, the egg dried up, carefully remove the napkin from it, trying not to smear the paint.

We got such a rainbow colored egg. We put the egg back on our homemade stand and let it dry completely.

1. How to dye Easter eggs to make them multi-colored

1. We will need plastic small but deep dishes. Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into each of them.

2. Pour the dye into each of the dishes, at first a little, and then it will be possible to regulate, after diluting the dyes with water.

3. Dilute the dyes with water. You don't need much water, somewhere less than half. You will understand when you see what we will do.

4. Take the egg and dip it into the dye by 1/3. We keep it for about 2 minutes.

5. We take out the egg and blot a drop from the bottom. We leave the egg to dry a little on our homemade stand. Since the egg is warm, it dries out pretty quickly.

6. The egg has dried out, lower it into the next dye, again by about 1/3, for 2 minutes. We take it out, also blot a drop at the bottom and set to dry.

7. Dip the remaining unpainted part of the egg into the third dye. We take out, not forgetting to wipe a drop from below, set to dry.

Here we have such a multi-colored egg.

1. How to paint Easter eggs with polka dots

1. Let's prepare two paints in plastic cups, yellow and blue, a candle, cotton wool on sticks and a stand for eggs. If you have leftover paints from a previous painting, you can use them. We light a candle. we need melted wax.

2. We completely lower the egg into the yellow dye. Let it lie down there for a couple of minutes, take it out and put it on a stand to dry.

3. The egg is dry. We take a cotton swab, dip it in melted wax and in a chaotic manner apply points of wax to the egg with a stick. You can come up with something of your own. Lettering, figurines, stripes, etc.

4. Literally let the wax dry for 10-15 seconds and send the egg to the second paint. Ours is blue. You can take any one you like. Let the egg stand in the paint for 2 minutes.

5. We remove it from the dye, put it on a stand, let it dry. In principle, the egg is ready. We can leave it like this.

6. If you want to remove the wax from the egg, warm it up a little next to the candle, in no case above the egg, just next to it. The wax melts and can be easily removed with a tissue.

1. How to paint eggs for Easter with a color transition

We need an egg and dye of the same color.

1. In plastic cup pour quite a bit of dye so that only it covers the tip of the egg a little more than a centimeter and lower the egg vertically there with the blunt end down. Leave it like that for 2 minutes.

2. Then, using a spoon, add a little more dye. Depending on how large the egg is, how many rings you want to make of different coloring intensity on the egg, calculate how much paint you need to add. We added about 1 cm each. We also leave it for a couple of minutes.

3. Add more dye and also leave for 2 minutes. And so on until we cover the entire egg, leaving the egg in the dye for 2 minutes after each layer.

After we cover the egg completely with the dye, let it stand for 2 minutes, take it out of the dye and put it on our stand to dry.

As we can see, all the stripes on the egg are visible. The egg turned out beautiful, with a gradually weakening tone of paint towards the top.

1. How to paint striped eggs for Easter

1. Color the egg blue first. Next, we need electrical tape. We cut off 20-25 centimeters of electrical tape and cut the electrical tape lengthwise into narrow strips.

2. We stick the tape on the egg with a spiral. You can paste as you like. Also, you can also make any width of the strip of electrical tape. Thus we glue the whole egg. Press the tape well against the egg so that there are no smudges.

3. Here we have an egg pasted over with electrical tape. We lower it into a pre-prepared red dye, as always for a couple of minutes. We take out the egg, put it on a stand and let it dry.

4. Our egg has dried up, remove the electrical tape. As you can see, under the electrical tape there was a blue color.

Here we have such a striped egg in a simple way.

1. Mosaic Easter egg coloring

1. We cut a lot of corners from electrical tape and now stick them on a pre-painted yellow egg. We try to stick the corners in the form of a mosaic. Between the corners we make a gap of about 2 millimeters. We lay the corners in random order.

2. This is how we got a glued egg. We dip it in red dye to get an approximately orange color.

3. We take it out of the dye and put it on a stand to dry.

This is how we got the egg. Now it remains only to remove the tape.

1. How to paint eggs for Easter in onion skins

1. We need onion peel, preferably from red and yellow onions. Eggs with already defatted shells. If you have not degreased them yet, then wipe them with alcohol or vinegar. Squares of gauze about 20 x 20 cm in size. Threads to tie gauze, pan. Question about the saucepan. After boiling onion skins, the pan is very difficult to clean, so pick up a pot that is not needed or in which you paint every year. Or will you paint.

2. For decoration, we will add various leaves and figures cut out of parchment so that the eggs are not so boring.

3. The husk must be placed in a saucepan and mashed to crush. The size of the pan and the amount of husk depends on how many eggs you want to color. Fill the husk with water and put on the stove to cook for 1-1.5 hours.

4. We begin to prepare the eggs. We take gauze, put a leaf on it, face up, carefully straighten all the tips of the leaf. Lay the egg on the leaf. Carefully collect all the ends of the gauze in a pile and tighten, strongly pressing the leaf to the egg. We twist the collected ends of the gauze into a tourniquet, than we pull the leaf closer to the egg and tie it with threads.

5. We also make the following eggs. You can even lay out some composition of leaves on gauze. Put the egg in the center and tighten the gauze again. But figures made of parchment paper, it is best to dip in water so that they stick to the egg, and then put the egg in cheesecloth and also gently tighten.

6. Add salt to the boiling onion peel and put the eggs there.

7. We close them all completely with husks and let them cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat. Remember that the eggs must be at room temperature, otherwise they will burst.

8. We take out the eggs from the husk and transfer them immediately to cold water to make them easier to clean later.

We cut off the gauze, rinse with water and see what beauty we have.

To make the eggs shiny, grease them with vegetable oil. The easiest way to do this is by pouring a little oil on cotton pads.

Well, the eggs are ready. They are perhaps not inferior in beauty to eggs painted with paint.

1. Original DIY Easter eggs

We took:

• Eggs - 12 pcs.
• Water - 2 liters
• Vinegar - 2 or 3 tablespoons
• Silk fabric (with different patterns)
• Any white fabric
• Rubber bands

1. For dyeing eggs, we took unnecessary men's silk ties, of which we have accumulated a lot. If you do not have unnecessary ties, just take pieces of multi-colored silk.

2. We cut the fabric into squares. We take an egg, put it on the front side of the silk fabric.

3. Wrap tightly so that the fabric does not move over the egg. We twist the tail of the fabric that has turned out at the top, thus tightening the egg even tighter.

4. On top of the colored fabric, we impose the same piece of white fabric. We also twist the tail. We fix everything by putting an elastic band on the tail, twisting it several times. Do the same with all eggs.

5. When all the eggs are prepared, put them in a saucepan.

6. Fill with water, add vinegar and put on fire. After the water boils, cook for another 15 minutes. Reduce the fire so that they do not jump in the pan. Just to boil slowly.

1. We take hard-boiled eggs, ordinary colored napkins and egg white. We tear the napkin into 4 parts. We separate the top color layer from the napkins.

2. Dip the egg in protein and twirl to moisten the entire area of ​​​​the egg. We lay the egg on the wrong side of the napkin and wrap it. Cut off excess napkins.

3. Dip the brush into the protein and grease the egg on top, thus distributing the napkin evenly over the entire egg, while pressing the napkin more tightly against the shell.

4. Everything is neatly distributed, the egg is ready. We do all the eggs the same way. You can take different napkins. Accordingly, the eggs will be different.

And very often faces the problem of decorating testicles for Easter. Everyone wants to make unusual and original Easter eggs as a gift, delighting both adults and children.

In this article, we will talk about what methods and tricks exist for creating unique and beautiful Easter eggs at home. With the help of them you can not only please the household, but also surprise your dear guests and friends.

Preparation for painting

Boil chicken white eggs. After you finish cooking, you need to cool them down a bit. Just make sure they are at room temperature. We will not be able to work with excessively hot or icy eggs. Then, wipe the eggs from moisture, remove dirt (if any).

1. Cracked eggs will have to be laid aside - these are no longer suitable for drawing a picture. If you are going to use the method of painting with onion peel - wait a while with cooking.
2. If you decide to paint eggs with a pattern for the holiday, mix the starch paste (glue) in advance - it is absolutely harmless, so it is suitable for coloring Easter eggs.

In the store you can buy ready-made starch, ready to go. Pour the starch into a bowl, then add warm water, not higher than room temperature. Soak it in there and then stir well. After that, you will need hot water, but not boiling water - pour hot water in portions into the resulting mass, simultaneously stirring the starch mass. In case the lumps could not be avoided by mixing, take a gauze mesh and separate the glue from the lumps. Okay, the glue is ready!

Rainbow colored eggs are a fun, easy and perfect way to spruce up your Easter menu.

To create colored shells, you can use both ready-made food paints (which can be found in any store) and do-it-yourself pigments. To do this, you can use red cabbage, beets, blueberries, turmeric, tea, onion peel, coffee beans, and fresh herbs.

Natural dyes will give the eggshell interesting, rich shades. Below is step by step recipe with a photo of cooking Easter eggs using red cabbage. Thanks to a bright and natural solution, after 10-14 hours, the workpiece acquires a pleasant lilac-blue hue. Of course, the natural pigment does not lay down very evenly (unlike artificial paints), but this gives the workpiece an authentic, natural look.

And also some other fun ways to color eggs at home for Easter using onion skins, ready-made dyes and stickers. And to decorate Easter eggs with a beautiful and original pattern, use paper napkins or a piece of cloth. Consider the most interesting ways to color eggs for Easter - both popular and rather unusual.

When creating Easter eggs, you should follow some guidelines. To ensure the eggs are of good quality, wash them thoroughly before processing. When cooking, add a handful of salt to the liquid, and pour vinegar into the natural coloring infusion. All this will help you make your Easter feast not only festive, but also useful.

Ingredients:

• eggs (3-4 pieces);
• cabbage (200-250 grams);
• vinegar (2 tablespoons);
• salt (1 tbsp. l.).

Cooking:

We spread the eggs in a cold liquid, pour salt. We make sure that the water covers the entire shell. Cook for 8-10 minutes (after boiling).

We begin to prepare the infusion: pour water into the container (800-1000 ml). Shred the red cabbage into small pieces and place in a saucepan.

Pour vinegar into a container. Cook the vegetable mass for 8-10 minutes.

After the cabbage becomes soft and the liquid turns into purple drop the eggs into it. We make sure that the thick mass covers the entire shell.

We leave the Easter preparation for 10-14 hours. Put the eggs on a paper towel.

After the product is completely dry, use it as you wish. If desired, decorate the shell with Easter stickers.

How to paint eggs for Easter in onion skins

You will need:

• water;
• onion peel;
• eggs;
• salt;
• for glossy effect: vegetable oil;
• for patterns: plant leaves, threads, nylon / gauze, etc.

Coloring process:

The most famous, classic way of coloring eggs, which is passed on to us by grandmothers and mothers, is the usual onion peel. This is the easiest way, but very interesting and most importantly, environmentally friendly. Prepare in advance all the necessary components and be sure to warm the eggs if they were put in the refrigerator.

To color the testicles with onion peel, you need to pour boiling water over the peel in a saucepan for 2 hours. As soon as the time is up, salt the water, put the eggs in it and boil the water. After the water boils, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook for 10 minutes. In case you want eggs with a beautiful pattern, you must first apply the pattern, and then boil with the husk.

To create patterns on Easter eggs, you can use ordinary parsley or dill leaves, threads or cereals. Moisten the egg, attach the leaves to it or roll in the groats. An unusual pattern can be achieved by attaching lace or wrapping an egg with threads. Wrap the resulting structure in gauze or nylon (for example, from tights) and cook in onion water for the specified time.

What colors can you dye eggs with natural dyes (table)

Foods You Can Use When Dyeing Easter Eggs (Infographic)

Color with store-bought food coloring

You will need:

• white chicken eggs;
• water;
• table vinegar 9%;
• food coloring in desired colors.

Coloring instructions:

For this method, you need to purchase food coloring. Many food colorings are sold in stores, including in special kits for Easter.

This method is the simplest, since the manufacturer most often attaches instructions to the dyes. It is from this information that you will need to push off. If there is no information, count about one packet of dye per 200-300 ml of water.

Boil and cool chicken eggs. While the boiled eggs are cooling, you can do the dye. Take a saucepan or a large and deep bowl. Pour 50 ml of warm water there, dissolve the food coloring of the desired color in it, add table vinegar (9%).

After that, mix and add water in portions to achieve the desired shade, or according to the instructions on the package (usually 200 ml per small bag). In the finished dye, lower the testicles in turn. Turn them over for 3-5 minutes, then remove and dry.

Do not use a dry cloth to avoid staining and sticking - paper towels work best.

2. Carefully cut or tear off a piece with the selected picture (it should be compact enough to fit on the testicle).
3. Then, put an egg in front of you or take it in your hand, attach a picture to it and start covering it with starch paste directly on the surface of the picture. Apply glue completely to the picture and corners to stick to the Easter egg. This method can be applied several times on the same egg.

That's all, the drawing will remain on your testicle! You can get rid of excess starch with a dry sponge, the remnants of a napkin or a cloth. And a beautiful Easter egg is ready, you can present it as a gift for Easter or treat your family and friends.

Happy Easter and creative creativity!

• powder dyes,
• table vinegar,
• hard-boiled hot chicken eggs,
• glass jars, half a liter,
• paper towels,
• tablespoons,
• boiling water.

Cooking process:

Step-by-step instruction

First step. In clean and dry glass jars, with a volume of half a liter, carefully pour one sachet of powdered food paint. We do this carefully so that the powder does not get on the hands or the table, it is quite difficult to wash it off later. Instead of cans, you can also use ordinary plastic bottles, only for this they must first be cut in half to obtain containers of the desired size. Next, pour the dyes for eggs with boiling water and add one tablespoon of vinegar to each jar as a dye fixer.

Second step. Then we take boiled hot boiled egg, place it on a tablespoon and gently immerse it in a jar with one of the dyes.

Third step. After seven to ten minutes, carefully remove the egg from the can of paint and put it on a dish, previously covered with three layers of paper towels or ordinary table napkins. Important! To color eggs for each color of paint, use a separate tablespoon, and do not put dyed eggs in different colors on one plate.

Fourth step. Let the egg dry completely, after which the colored eggs can be additionally rubbed with vegetable oil to make it shine.

We hope you find our tips on how to dye Easter eggs with dry dyes useful.

If just multi-colored eggs do not seem interesting to you, then you can additionally decorate them with ordinary gel pens.

Another method, perhaps the most common, used by the bulk of our grandmothers (and many housewives paint eggs this way to this day), is painting using onion peel. The recipe is simple: together with eggs, dip more onion peel into boiling water, wait until the eggs change color and take them out. The color is very rich, from golden yellow to deep red. Your attention step by step photo recipe from one of our authors Svetlana Kislovskaya.

How to dye eggs in onion skins

On the wonderful holiday of Holy Easter, I always paint eggs in onion skins. I don't like dyes - that's all! My mother always does this, and she taught us, her daughters, this. Everything is very simple, the result is wonderful, and most importantly without chemistry, everything is natural. Even if the eggs burst during cooking, then there is nothing to worry about, they can be crumbled into a salad. I offer a very simple recipe for coloring eggs. The most important thing is that you must save up this husk in advance, and the more it is, the brighter and richer the color of the painted eggs will be.

We will need:

• Eggs 8-15 pieces,
• Onion peel - a few handfuls,
• Water,
• Salt.

How to cook onion broth

Rinse the onion peel under water. You can not do this if you have it clean. Next, put it in a saucepan and fill it with water. It is better to take an old saucepan for such purposes, since then it will be “colored” for some time. Over time, the color will wash off.

We put it on the stove and wait for everything to boil. The water boils, reduce the fire, and cook the husk for a few minutes. I used to dye eggs with the husk. But I noticed that when you put eggs with husks in cold water, they turn out spotty. If this does not bother you, then you can cook like that. So much faster. But now I cook in exactly the way that is presented today. First, we prepare the onion broth, and then (even the next day this can be done when the water has completely cooled down), you can boil eggs in it.

So, when the water has boiled for about ten minutes, turn off the stove and let the water cool completely. We cool, as it is not recommended to lay eggs in hot water so that they do not crack. When the dyed water has cooled, we catch the feathers of the husk and throw them away, they will not be needed anymore. I usually cook onion broth the day before, at night, and in the morning or during the day I paint Easter eggs in it.

Into the cold natural dye we lay the eggs and cook them as usual on the stove, after they boil, for about five to seven minutes. We put the boiled colored eggs in another cup, and fill it with cold water so that they are well cleaned in the future. Many housewives do not do this at all, but at the moment when the eggs are hot, they smear them with vegetable oil using a cotton pad or napkin.

If desired, Easter eggs can be decorated with different stickers, which children love to do. This is how we prepared for the glorious Easter holiday!

Eggs can be boiled not only in onion peel, you can use an infusion of various herbs. Very beautiful are painted marble eggs using onion peel and brilliant green. Or you can cook them in one of the decoctions, after wrapping them with colored threads.

All these methods are very simple to apply in practice, but they may seem a little boring to someone. In this case, try coloring the eggs with paints. Now there are various food colorings on the market that you can paint with. This option is especially suitable for families with children. They will definitely like it, and can also help in the development of creative qualities.

But with the help of acrylic paints, beads, decoupage, you can create masterpieces. Put all your imagination into practice. To complete the effect, you can add rhinestones or sparkles. Such eggs can be presented to friends and acquaintances, or distributed on the street in honor of the Easter holiday.

Beliefs and signs associated with Easter eggs

There were many rituals and beliefs associated with the Easter egg. For example, it was unforgivable to eat an egg and throw the husk out the window or over the fence. Christ himself with the apostles walks the streets, and one could accidentally fall into them.

The peasants believed that the Easter egg had the power to make it easier for the souls of the deceased to stay in the next world. To do this, it was necessary to christenate with the dead three times, and give the egg a taste of the “free” bird, and as a token of gratitude it would commemorate the dead and ask God for them. The Easter egg also helps the living, alleviates their illnesses and ailments. An egg received by a person from a priest must be kept in the sanctuary for 3 years, and it will remove the illness from the patient.

But with special trepidation, the peasants believed that the egg helps in agriculture. It was necessary to bury the Easter egg in grains and leave for sowing, and then it would be provided good harvest. It was also believed that rolling eggs on plowed land contributed to its fertility.

Many of these customs and beliefs have survived to this day. Like many centuries ago, people to this day paint eggs on the eve of Easter, and on the day of Christ's Resurrection they give them to each other, saying the phrase "Christ is risen!".

Easter cakes, eggs, cottage cheese Easter - this is the main attribute of the Bright Resurrection.
