Sort of last minute notice here on the blog, but tomorrow (4/8/2020) I will be doing a Facebook Live Egg Workshop on the @ArtsinStark Facebook Page.  ArtsinStark is the Stark County, Ohio arts council.  They're in the middle of their spring fundraising campaign - with a goal of $1.6 million for the arts.  If you are interested in helping to support them - you can donate at www.artsinstark.com/donate or right on their Facebook page.

How to Blow Out an Egg

It has come to my attention that some of you don't know how to blow out an egg.

If you are interested in keeping your eggs for years (and not having them smell, OBVIOUSLY), you can easily blow out the egg innards. Plan ahead for scrambled eggs or omelettes.

Also:  Wiki-How has a detailed page on how to do this.  With graphics even.

Cool Whip Dyed Eggs

Cool Whip Dyed Eggs

(Marbled Eggs)

This is similar to the art teacher/crafts version of marbling paper with shaving cream --- but USE EDIBLE Cool Whip to make these beauties.

CraftyMorning.com provides a great step-by-step to follow, and it's super easy. Messy in it's own way, but you don't have to deal with all the containers of liquid.

Not so wishy-WASHI (tape)!

Stampington & Company shared this idea by Jennifer Taylor that uses (besides hard-boiled eggs) washi tape and permanent pens.  If you haven't already discovered washi tape, visit the craft store and find some --- it's one of my new favorite supplies to have on hand.  It makes stuff super-cute super easily.

E-Z Ombre Eggs

A friend just sent me this one... SUPER easy ombre eggs!

 

In a nutshell, you put a bit of dye in, soak eggs, set timer, come back, add more water, set timer, come back, add more water, set timer, etc.  My thoughts... have two or three cups for each color going (just go buy some cheap plastic cups to toss later).

Hey Kool-Aid!

Kool-Aid Tie Dye Easter Eggs

https://www.myfoodandfamily.com/recipe/143963/kool-aid-tie-dye-easter-eggs

Basically, two packets of un-sweetened Kool-Aid (per color) and water. Instructions on the link above.  Reports are the scent fades (rats). Reports are also that certain colors work better than others, and that the eggs might taste like that flavor (sort of gross, depending on the flavor).

I haven't tried this one, but I have tie-dyed entire t-shirts and that works, so why not eggs?
