This year we decided to decorate our eggs a little different.
Ombre Easter Eggs
In a shade of blue.
I found this idea in Country Living Magazine
Country Living Magazine ~ Easter Eggs
The boys favorite part was counting out the drops of dye.
"60 drops! Mom are you sure?"
Ombré Easter Eggs
You can create this dramatic display with just two 0.25-ounce
vials of blue dye you may already have in the kitchen. Set out six
12-ounce glasses, labeled A through F. Add one cup of boiling water and
two teaspoons of white vinegar to each and stir, using a separate spoon
for each glass. Then, mix in the color as follows: A, two drops; B, six
drops; C, 10 drops; D, 20 drops; E, 45 drops; F, 60 drops. Submerge a
hard-boiled egg in each glass. Steep for five minutes, or until you're
happy with the hue, then remove and place in an empty egg carton to dry.
Repeat with additional eggs (up to three dozen).
Our finished product.
Perfect Robin eggs.
