Instruction manual
1
Natural natural colors
You need 10 eggs, 0.6 l of natural black elderberry juice (sold in pharmacies), 0.6 l of water, vinegar, paper towels.
In order to get different shades of color, we cook each egg the following amount of time: the first egg one minute, the second egg 3 minutes, the third egg 5 minutes, the fourth egg 10 minutes, the fifth egg 20 minutes.
After we take out the painted eggs, put them on a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Then repeat the process with the other 5 eggs. After the eggs have cooled, put them in the egg box and send them to the refrigerator.

Such eggs can be made using small plants with a beautiful shape. Gently apply the plant to the egg, wrap it with a piece cut off from the nylon tights, tie it tight enough. Cook in ready-made or natural dye. After the eggs have cooled, you can remove the nylon bag.
3
Geometric decor for fans of black and white graphics. On finished white eggs we apply patterns with a black pencil.

For such an uncomplicated, but at the same time unusual decor, you will need a newspaper, feathers, a starch paste and a brush. We put a little paste on the egg, cover it with pieces of newspapers or feathers and smear again on top of the decor. Leave the eggs until the glue has completely dried.
5
Ombre staining. Take a glass jar or a can of canned food. Fill a small amount of boiling water with dye and a small amount of vinegar (a layer of the solution in the jar is about a couple of centimeters from the bottom). Gently lower the boiled egg to the bottom. Wait 5 minutes. Add more water with dye. Wait again. Repeat this procedure several times. Take out the eggs with a spoon - strips of different tones will appear on them!
6
If you have decorative tape, you can create such an unusual bright decor. Cut strips of adhesive tape or cut out circles, triangles, rhombuses, flowers from it. Create your own ornament!
7
And from empty eggs you can even create a whole composition with your child. Just make two punctures with a needle on a raw egg, release the contents of the egg by blowing it through the hole, and proceed to decorate. Use all kinds of materials: feathers, beads, rhinestones - here your imagination is simply unlimited!
note
Typically, fresh boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; colored eggs should be consumed as soon as possible.
