To start, place your eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Make sure the water is at least an inch above the eggs. Add vinegar to the water, which helps prevent the eggs from cracking and makes them easier to peel.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes. For softer yolks, cook for 8-10 minutes, and for firmer yolks, cook for 13-15 minutes.
Once done, remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool. This also helps prevent the yolks from turning green.
While your eggs are cooling, you can start making your own egg dye. In small bowls or cups, mix food coloring with hot water and a splash of vinegar. The vinegar helps the color adhere to the eggshell. You can mix different colors to create your desired shades.
Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to create cracks all over the eggshell. This will give your eggs a marbled effect. Carefully place the eggs in the dye mixture, making sure they are completely submerged. Leave them in the dye for at least 30 minutes, or longer for deeper colors.
After the eggs have been dyed to your liking, remove them from the mixture and let them dry on a paper towel. Once they are dry, you can add some extra decorations using markers, stickers, or even glitter for a touch of sparkle.
And there you have it - your very own homemade Easter eggs! Not only are they beautiful, but they are also safe and fun to make. Get creative and have fun with different colors and designs. Your family and friends will be impressed by your egg decorating skills!
