Egg Decorating
Happy day after Easter! As you know, this year was my very first time decorating Easter eggs. Yes, I had gone 22 years without doing this. It was super fun, especially since I did it with some awesome friends. :)
There were a total of six different color dyes: pink, green, purple, blue, red and yellow. I was super bummed that the pink wasn’t a good pink. :( The blue, red, green and yellow dyed very evenly but the purple and pink ended up splotchy somehow.
Here is my sister (and Ginny!) measuring the vinegar and water for the dye. Oh my word, that night I couldn’t read or follow instructions. Thank goodness my sister is good at that type of stuff!
A glance at some of the eggs. I *tried* doing polka dots but they didn’t turn out very well. I had originally planned on doing close ups of my eggs, but they were very far from perfect. Next year I’m going to do a little research before I attempt decorating again…..
Do you see that funny looking egg? Yup, I did that one! The egg kit had these funny eyes, hair and mouths so I had to do a funny one. Definitely far from pretty, pink or posh! LOL
Did you dye eggs this year? If so, I’d love to see your pics! Just leave a comment and I’ll make my way over to your blog! :)
These turned out GREAT, Paulina!! And it sounds like you had a fun time—which is the most important part!!!
I have been away from the blog world for SO LONG!! I was busy making cards for an auction at a friend’s school and then another friend and her family were visiting from out of town for a week!!! It was lots of fun! We colored eggs too, and I’ll be sure to post the photos on my blog soon!
I’m having fun checking out all of your creations from the past couple of weeks!! GREAT STUFF (as usual)! You’ve been quite the busy bee!
WOW- that is a lot of eggs… looks like fun. They turned out great.
At least you got to dye eggs! I bought all the stuff but my work schedule was too crazy and I was too tired to do it with my kids! I’m a bad mommy! *lol*
Happy belated Easter! :)
