Neon Dip-Dyed Eggs

You’ll need…

Hardboiled eggs

Paper bags

Three pieces of cardboard (or a piece of foam core)

T-pins

Neon food coloring

Hot water

Vinegar

Tongs

Rubber gloves

PAAS “color cups” dying kit {you’ll use the cups provided and the egg dipper}

Here’s how…

01. Boil the eggs, remove from water, and let eggs dry and cool.

02. Cover your work surface. I used brown paper bags taped to the counter to make sure they wouldn’t move as I worked.

03. Create a “drying rack” for your eggs. I used three pieces of cardboard, stacked one on top of the other. Place T-pins one inch apart in a square shape. I made eight squares with T-pins. You could also use a cake rack to dry eggs.

04. Mix one-teaspoon vinegar, 25 drops of food color, and 1/2 cup hot water in a “color cup” and stir.

05. Once eggs have cooled completely and their shells are completely dry, begin dying eggs.
