And with this easy technique, you don’t even have to get your hands dirty!
Fill the bag or cup with plain, dry rice.
When you have several cups of rice prepared, choose color pairings offood coloringornatural dyefor your eggs.
We used these color pairings: purple and blue, red and yellow, green and yellow.
Place the two cups together like before and shake continuously until the egg is evenly covered in dye.
Then, take the cups apart, carefully remove the egg; set out to dry.
That’s itdyeing Easter eggs with rice is that easy!
We usedceramic eggsfor this project, but you could also use hard-boiled eggs orwooden Easter eggs.
Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap before and after handling the eggs.
