Beautiful Last Minute Easter Eggs

Last-Minute Easter Eggs

Hey! You over there. Are you a fretting about decorating Easter Eggs at the last minute like me? If you’re worried about dying eggs and making a big mess in your kitchen, here’s a quick and easy way to up your Easter egg game and no one will be none the wiser. It’s also a great sit-down activity for children, just get out your edible colouring, a brush, water and eggs and you’re ready to go!

Print
Ingredients
Supplies
  • Hard boiled eggs
  • Edible gel food colouring
  • Paper towels
  • Fine paint brush
  • Egg carton or egg stand
  • Water
Instructions
  1. Boil eggs and let them cool off in cold water. (side note: cooling eggs in cold water makes them easier to peel)
  2. Dry eggs with paper tower
  3. Place egg on it's side in the carton, allowing the surface to be exposed for painting. 

  4. Use fine tipped paint brush to paint gel colours onto egg. Use some water to dilute the gel colouring to lighten it and to soften the consistency. However, to prevent streaks, don't use too much since the shell doesn't absorb liquid like paper does. 

  5. Let eggs dry for a few hours before working on the other side. 

Add the edible colours you plan on using onto a clean dish. Use some water to dilute the gel colouring to lighten it and to soften the consistency. However, to prevent streaks, don’t use too much since the shell doesn’t absorb liquid like paper does.

Press down on the flatter side of the brush to create petals.

Hold the brush vertically and use the pointed end of the brush to dab purple paint onto the egg surface for fine dots.

Begin by drawing the “bud” foundation in the form of a heart shape.

Use another color and add petals to the sides.

Dab a bit of yellow in the center for the pistil.

Add stems with green paint. (Made a boo boo but it’s okay! Watercolor art tends to be more abstract so your mistakes aren’t too obvious. The gel coloring doesn’t wipe off easily so once you’ve put your brush mark down, its’ set.)

I don’t usually do much baking for Halloween since I like to jump straight into preparations for the Christmas holiday season once September comes around. I always find it interesting that so many people rejoice the return of the Fall season while I, on the other hand, find the season a bit meloncholy. Having to say goodbye to my […]
