The cosmos are at your fingertips... in the form of a dyed egg!

So I was egg dying and wanted to do something interesting and this is what I came up with! I used the normal boxed egg dyes that you mix with vinegar to do this. Also I didn't have purple so I only used blue and pink. I'm sure purple could fit in somewhere.

Description

So I was egg dying and wanted to do something interesting and this is what I came up with! I used the normal boxed egg dyes that you mix with vinegar to do this. Also I didn't have purple so I only used blue and pink. I'm sure purple could fit in somewhere.

Instructions

  1. Small 101 9573

    First take your egg and a clear wax crayon (they typically come with the egg dying kit) and randomly draw dots and small crosses on the egg to look like stars. I tried to put some of them in clumps and some spread out.

  2. Small 101 9575

    Put the drawn on egg into the normally prepared pink dye. Let it sit until it is totally pink, not just light pink.

  3. Small 101 9580

    Once you take it out, use a paper towel to rub some spots of the egg lighter. This is how you get the galaxy effect. You should also see your stars.

  4. Small 101 9583

    Do the same thing for the blue. Put it in the dye for a few minutes, take it out, and rub some spots of it a little lighter. I recommend to letting the eggs dry in an egg carton. I didn't have purple and I'm not sure if they normally do, so I only used pink and blue. I'm sure you could incorporate purple if you had it.

    And your finished!! Eat your lovely egg!
