Let the first color dry, then remove one of the rubber bands and dye in another color. Dye egg in normal fashion (as described in speckled eggs but with whatever color intensity you like).Wrap boiled egg with several rubber bands.Mist or blow on the egg to create the desired effect.Hold the water bottle at a distance and mist the top again.
Squeeze a drop of food coloring onto the top of the egg.Use the spray bottle to mist the top of the egg. Place egg into an egg cup (or another holder that will hold the egg upright).Let each side dry before turning over and doing the other side.
When you are comfortable with the method, flick the paint onto the eggs. This will flick the paint onto the newspaper. Holding the toothbrush with the bristles pointing downward, run your finger across the bristles. Dip the bristles into the thinned brown paint. First, get the toothbrush wet, flick off excess water by running your finger across the bristles. Practice the flicking method a few times on the newspaper first before attempting on the egg. Lay newspaper down on the work surface and be sure all the eggs are dry. Mix together a teaspoon of brown acrylic craft paint and 4 or 5 drops of water. If you’d like a pastel color, take them out sooner. The longer you leave them in, the deeper the color of eggs you will get. Add food coloring and fill mugs with water to 3/4 full. Add a teaspoon of white vinegar to each mug. When you are happy with the results, gently wipe the eggs off with paper towel. Again, let them rest for several minutes. Repeat the above for a second color on each, or leave as single colors. Let each color rest for several minutes, the color may get a bit darker as they rest. Place it on a paper towel, but don’t pat it dry. Immediately remove the spoon, place egg on spoon and lower egg into swirling water. Stir it several times to create a whirlpool effect. Hold your boiled egg in one hand and stir the liquid in the mug with the spoon using your other hand. Fill to 3/4 full with water and stir each one. Add a different color of food coloring to each mug. Place one tablespoon of oil and one tablespoon of vinegar into each mug.
