These deceptively simple tissue-dyed eggs are a great place to start your Easter crafting.
you’re free to find “bleeding” tissue paper in most crafts stores or online.
We layered two sheets to give each egg acolorful marbled look.

Try combining colors like blue and pink or green and blue.
Thiseasy egg-dyeing projectwill have you excited for the Easter bunny’s arrival!
Before you begin, choose colors of tissue paper that match yourEaster decorscheme.
Cut two 6-inch squares of two different colors of bleeding tissue paper.
Crumple the squares, reopen them, and wrap them around a hard-boiled or ablown-out egg.
Wearing disposable gloves, submerge a coffee filter-covered egg in vinegar until the whole egg is wet.
Take it out of the vinegar, but don’t unwrap the tissue or the coffee filter just yet.
Place paper towels under the rack to prevent any dyed vinegar from dripping onto and staining your work surface.
Let the eggs stand overnight before removing the wraps to reveal the pattern underneath.
(Blotting instead of wiping will help preserve the pattern.)
This will make your creations last longer so you might reuse them for next year’sEaster decor.
