Marbleizing Eggs

Create two groups of Egg Dies, base colors and swirl colors.

To create a base die: Combine 3 cups warm water, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 10-20 drops of food coloring.

To create a swirl die: Create base die, pour in bowl where liquid is no deeper than 1/2". Add 1 Tablesppoon olive oil

Drop egg in base die till desired color is reached, remove. Swirl olive oil with fork in swirl die. Place dyed egg in swirl die mixture, roll once to pick up streaks. Remove pat dry.

Each egg will be unique!

Glitter Eggs- Simple and Stunning

Coat eggs with adhesive, roll in glitter....simple!

I find it easiest and cleanest to use spray adhesive to coat eggs. This ensures an even coat and no dripping. Once eggs are coated gently roll in glitter, spoon glitter over top until completely covered.

For a solid glitter look, repeat process. For a more layered look, take eggs that were dyed and add light coat of glitter.

Do not eat eggs once spray adhesive is applied.

Live, love, and celebrate everything!
