A bright holiday is approaching, which means that you just need to know how to paint eggs for Easter with your own hands. So that the material does not seem banal, we will talk about dozens of ideas for coloring the main symbol of the Orthodox celebration. So, let's begin!

Why you need to paint eggs

stories there are many about why eggs are dyed for Easter: they start with banal everyday things and end with wonderful Orthodox legends.

If we consider the coloring of eggs from the life side, you can hear an interesting story. Nature is arranged in such a way that the hens did not stop laying eggs during the 40-day fast. Therefore, in order to use the testicles for food after the end of the Christian vigil, people put them in special baskets. To distinguish a fresh product, the peasants dyed the shell. Its color differed depending on the day it was received.

There are also other story, caressing the ear and being the main version of the origin of the tradition of dyeing eggs among Christians. Mary Magdalene presented an egg to Tiberius on the day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ with the words "Christ is risen". The enraged emperor shouted that he did not believe in this: Resurrection is impossible in the same way as the fact that a white egg will turn red. At the same moment, the egg in Magdalena's hands turned bright red.

And to the statement: “Christ is Risen!”, receive the answer: “Truly Risen!” And together we will rejoice at the arrival of spring, the revival of nature, sunlight and warmth. Rejoice as if it were some kind of miracle, which once was the miracle of the resurrection of Christ.

Easter eggs are the basis and decoration of any table. At present, it is not difficult to decorate them beautifully; a large number of various dyes, materials for blending, decorating and other decoration are sold in stores.

For those who want to express their creativity, there are many interesting ways to design. The main requirement for this is that the painted samples should not be dark, gloomy. Spring colors are welcome, red is required, and all its shades. And the rest - as knowledge will tell, and what is enough imagination.

For proper staining, there are several basic rules.

• for a better and uniform coloring, they must be washed and degreased. You can wash with soap and degrease with alcohol.
• you need to cook them only when they lie down at room temperature for some
• time. Then, while heating them in hot water, there will be no sharp temperature drop, and the shell will remain intact.
• it is better to cook them with the addition of salt, about one tablespoon per 1-1.2 cups of water

- dyes - painted in one color

— speckles - painted in the main color, but there are blotches on them in the form of specks, spots or stripes of a different color

— Easter eggs - have an ornamental or plot pattern, hand-painted with paints or painted in a special way.

And so how can you decorate this Easter symbol beautifully and show your creativity?

Painting in onion skins

The most popular coloring method is the use of onion skins. Our great-grandmothers used this coloring method, and probably their great-grandmothers too. This is a very simple and affordable way to achieve a range of colors from light yellow to dark brown. The more you take the husk for coloring, the darker the color will turn out. The intensity of staining also makes its own adjustments to the shade.

And if you use various devices, you can get not only the intended color, but also the pattern.

Coloring in onion skins

1. Place the husk in a saucepan and pour water over it. Cook it over low heat for 30-40 minutes.

2. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid and leave to infuse for about 1 hour.

3. Remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance, let them lie at room temperature for 2 hours.

4. Strain the broth, freeing it from the husk, salt. Place eggs in it and cook for 7-10 minutes.

5. Take them out with a spoon and cool them in running cold water.

6. To get a more intense color, they can be returned to the infusion of the husk again, and hold them there until the desired color.

7. Dry and grease with gauze dipped in vegetable oil.

To get a rich red-brown color, you need to take the husk from 8-10 bulbs and pour it with two glasses of water.

There are different types of onions, and their husks vary in color from light yellow to dark brown. Depending on this, you can also get different colors.

Using this, you can color the samples in a very beautiful way.

Marble staining method

1. Prepare a husk of different colors, cut it arbitrarily into various geometric shapes, not more than 1 cm in size. Cut plain paper in the same way.

2. Mix the husk and paper.

3. Moisten eggs at room temperature with water, roll in the husk with paper.

4. Prepare a nylon stocking or gauze in advance. Cut it into squares 15 x 15 cm, so that you can put the product to be painted in them.

5. Put them in gauze. Tie the edges of the gauze tightly or secure with threads so that the husk fits snugly against the walls of the shell. The denser, the sharper the pattern.

6. Place the remaining husk in a saucepan, fill it with water and add 1-2 tablespoons of salt. Put eggs in a saucepan, put on fire, bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes.

7. Take them out with a spoon, place them under running cold water. Remove capron.

8. Dry and grease with gauze dipped in vegetable oil.

Marble method of staining in onion peel and brilliant green

1. Prepare the onion peel. If there is a husk of a different color, then this will give the best "marble" effect. Cut the husk as small as possible. There should be a lot of husks.

2. Moisten the main product at room temperature with water and cover generously with the husk. At first, you can simply roll them, and then apply them with your hands.

3. Wrap very tightly with gauze or nylon, tie the ends with threads.

4. Pour a glass of water into the pan, add a tablespoon of salt and pour a vial of brilliant green.

5. Place eggs with husks in a saucepan. They must be completely hidden under water. If there is not enough water, then you can add it.

6. Put on medium heat, bring to a boil. Cook for 7-10 minutes.

7. Rinse under running water. Then remove the gauze and rinse again.

8. Dry and grease with marlechka with sunflower oil. Polish and put on a dish.

I really like this method and use it often. And especially for you, we shot a video on this topic, which we are pleased to offer you for viewing.

I tried to tell and show everything in great detail, so that anyone who undertakes this task will get only an excellent result.

In onion peel with a pattern

An interesting pattern can be obtained using the same onion peel and rice. We will get the so-called krapanki. How to do it?

1. Moisten eggs at room temperature with water.

2. Apply dry rice to them and wrap them tightly with nylon or gauze, as in the previous version.

3. Place the onion peel in a saucepan, fill it with water and salt. Put prepared samples into it, put on fire, bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes.

4. Take them out with a spoon, place them under running cold water. Remove capron.

5. Dry and grease with gauze dipped in vegetable oil.

In onion peel with lace pattern

Drawings can be made using various plants, improvised materials or lace fabric. So, for example, such drawings as twigs and leaves are very loved by the people.

1. Prepare dill sprigs, parsley leaves, small leaves from other plants and blades of grass. You can make paper cutouts. The lace pattern is very beautiful. With this staining technique, an adhesive plaster is also used. Various shapes are cut out and glued. Or the drawing is applied with wax.

2. Moisten eggs at room temperature with water.

3. In random order, as fantasy tells, apply a drawing using the prepared material.

4. Wrap them tightly with nylon or gauze.

5. Place onion peel in a saucepan, fill it with water and pour 1-2 tbsp. spoons of salt. Place eggs in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes.

6. Take them out with a spoon, place them under running cold water. Remove capron.

7. Dry and grease with gauze dipped in vegetable oil.

Put on a plate and put on the table.

In onion peel with a pattern

Patterns on the egg can be created in several ways.

1. For example, wrapping a few rubber bands on it for money. Get strips of different widths. And if you change the position of the rubber bands, and alternately paint the surface with dyes of different colors, you will get multi-colored stripes. You need to paint from light to dark tone.

2. Threads can be wound in the same way. And then dip them into the dye solution.

3. Or stick narrow long strips of adhesive tape.

4. Beautiful patterns are obtained by wrapping the shell with lace and then holding it in the onion solution.

How to dye eggs with natural dyes

It is believed that the use of natural dyes is better than artificial ones. And you can't even explain why. The word "natural" says it all. While I don't think artificial food colorings are bad, if I have to choose between them, I always choose natural ones.

As you know, many plants, fruits and vegetables have a natural pigment that easily colors some things. And at all times people used this effect.

Let's look at what they are, and how you can use them to achieve a more saturated color.

• Onion peel. When stained, it gives a rich palette from pale yellow to a beautiful, rich dark brown. How to paint, we discussed in detail above.
• Beet juice. Thanks to him, you can get a color from pale pink to burgundy.

To dye in this color, grate the beets, pour water over it and boil for 20-30 minutes. Strain the resulting broth, add a few tablespoons of vinegar and a little salt. Then let it cool down a bit and put the eggs in it. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes, periodically checking what color is turned out. Then let it brew.

• Spinach. When used, a bright saturated green color is obtained. Similarly, we prepare a decoction and boil eggs in it.

To prepare the infusion, you just need to boil the chopped spinach for 30-40 minutes. Then place the samples in a slightly cooled infusion.

• Birch leaves. Thanks to the decoction and infusion of even fresh, even dry birch leaves, you can also get a beautiful green color.

Pour boiling water over them, let simmer over low heat until the solution becomes a saturated color, then turn off the fire, and insist the leaves in water for another 30 minutes. After that, dip the samples prepared for painting into the cooled solution and cook after boiling for 10 minutes

• Nettle. It will also give a green color when dyed.
• Lemon. Thanks to the infusion of lemon peel, various shades of yellow can be obtained.
• Chamomile. Gives beautiful and very delicate shades of yellow.
• Turmeric and saffron. Gives a lovely sunny orange color.
• Orange. Its crusts, infused in a decoction, will give a magnificent golden-orange color.
• Red cabbage. When preparing a decoction and painting eggs, it will give a blue color.
• Coffee. Its infusion will give warm beige shades.

You can also color using raspberry juice, blueberries, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries. Or try making it in infused black tea.

For all of the above natural dyes, there is one staining scheme. Here she is.

Universal coloring method for all natural dyes

1. Pour cold water into a saucepan, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of vinegar. Place there the product, which will be a natural dye.

2. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover and let it brew for 30-40 minutes.

3. Place eggs at room temperature in a cooled broth. Bring to a boil over low heat. Cook for 15-30 minutes until desired color.

4. Take them out with a spoon, cool under running water.

5. If you want to achieve a more intense color, then put them back into the broth. Leave for a longer time, you can even all night.

The fact is that natural pigments are less active, and therefore it takes more time to stain than usual.

6. Then dry and brush with vegetable oil.

Then put on a dish or in a basket and serve.

How to dye eggs with dyes at home

You can also paint eggs at home with the help of paint, which is sold in the store. Now you can buy it for every taste. Among the huge offer, you can find a palette of only 4 colors, or you can purchase it with a richer color range. I have seen packages with flowers up to 15 different shades.

As a rule, all packages have instructions for use. Please read it carefully and follow the instructions provided. Basically the recommendations are:

• paint should be diluted immediately before use in a small amount of water
• dilute it in small portions, as under the influence of light and air, it quickly loses its properties
• do not store after use
• when interacting with it, use rubber gloves so as not to stain the skin of the hands

By following the instructions, you will get different colors of eggs. If you keep the eggs in the dye for less time, then the color will turn out to be more delicate, and if longer, then more saturated.

But with such dyes, you can also decorate Easter eggs in a very original way!

Marble way without greenery

For this method, you need to have food coloring.

1. First you need to boil, and then paint the eggs in bright light colors. A good result is obtained from red, yellow and orange.

2. Then you should dry them.

3. Now we dilute dark colors with water - blue, green, purple. Each color in a separate bowl.

4. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to each color. We draw a toothpick through the oil to make oil paths. The more of them, the better.

5. Dip each cooked copy in a dark color only once. Use gloves for this. Then dry and grease with vegetable oil.

There are other equally interesting and creative ways to decorate Easter eggs. From the simplest decoration with beads, ribbons, fabrics to the famous Faberge eggs. Some of them are made for eating, and some for admiring.

And some for both. And let's look at just such interesting ways.

How fun to color eggs

If you use several colored dyes, and dip the egg in them not completely, but only half, or 1/3, then you can apply several layers of paint. And in this way you can set absolutely any colors, including rainbows.

The only thing to remember is that the paint must be allowed to dry after each applied layer.

To do this, you need to prepare either a lattice or some kind of stand, on which we will lay out partially painted products.

Since this process is not fast, you need to stock up on time and patience, but the result will be just great. And everyone will certainly ask how you achieved such a wonderful and original result.

Or you can apply the following method to obtain a rainbow color.

It turns out everything is very beautiful, quite simple and fast!

And you must admit that any housewife will want to have such beauty on the table!

Seven original ways of staining

1. In order to get patterns from matching strips of white and color, you can stick thin strips of adhesive tape on the eggs in random order. After the end of the staining and cooling process, remove the adhesive tape and beautiful geometric patterns will appear to our attention.

2. Thinner strips can be obtained by using rubber bands for money, as we did when dyeing with onion peel.

3. And when sticking rice, we get bright colorful dots. (the method is also described for staining with onion skins)

4. Beautiful specks can be easily obtained with a toothbrush. To do this, you must first set the main tone, and then use a brush to spray drops on them. This procedure can leave a lot of splashes on the table, so take care of this in advance and cover it with napkins.

5. And if you melt the wax and draw patterns or some kind of pattern on the shell, and then lower them into the dye, you can get magnificent beautiful samples that will decorate any holiday table.

It is important here that the paint is not hot, otherwise the wax will melt and the drawing will be smeared, or even invisible.

6. And the following method has recently become very popular. This is also a variant of marble staining, and newspaper is used as an aid in this. She breaks into small pieces. After that, the eggs are placed in a piece of nylon, and the newspaper is poured inside, like onion peel. Then the capron must be tightly tied and put to boil.

After they are cooked, cool them as usual and then remove the capron and remove the paper. The letters of the newspaper text will remain on the shell.

The method is spectacular, but I don’t use it, as I don’t really want to cook a food product together with printing ink.

7. Samples with a three-dimensional, so-called 3D effect look very nice. It is also not difficult to do this. As usual, we color it, either with natural or artificial food coloring, and dry it. In the meantime, take 200 - 250 grams of powdered sugar and mix it with ordinary water until a mushy state. We place the sugar mass in a confectionery syringe and apply beautiful three-dimensional patterns.

It turns out just great.

Decoupage with napkins

Recently, this technique has become incredibly popular in various fields of creativity. She did not pass by and Easter crafts.

When you watch such a video, you immediately want to leave everything and do such a wonderful kind of creativity as decoupage.

The only thing I would like to draw your attention to is choosing napkins with a small pattern suitable for the occasion, and then success is guaranteed to you. Such beauties usually fly like hot cakes.

By the way, this recipe uses egg white as glue. Gelatin can also be used. To do this, it must be poured with a small amount of water, allowed to swell slightly, then drain the excess water. Then heat it up and let it dissolve completely. Glue is ready. We arm ourselves with a brush, take a suitable napkin and create beauty.

Marble coloring with nail polish

Another interesting way to color with multi-colored nail polishes. The technique of water manicure is used.

1. Boil white eggs.

2. Pour water at room temperature into a bowl. Drip nail polish into it. You can use one, two or more colors.

3. When using several colors, they must be dripped in turn into the center.

4. Draw from varnish with a toothpick drawings in the form of abstractions, lines, cobwebs or flowers.

5. Put on gloves, take a sample and dip it first on one side, then on the other side. Let dry.

This method is interesting both in terms of design and in terms of creativity. Instances are original and beautiful. But it should be remembered that varnish is a chemical compound, not food coloring. Therefore, it may make sense to use the other methods listed above.

Or you can just draw figures on the shell with the same nail polish. There is also room for fantasy.

How to dye eggs in fabric

If you know that you have a fabric that has an unstable color, and in simple terms - sheds, then by wrapping an egg in it, you can dye it. For this purpose it is necessary to have samples with a white shell.

1. Wrap the prepared sample tightly in a shedding cloth. Tie the ends with thread.

2. Place it in cold water, add salt, bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes.

3. Drain the hot water and pour the finished product with cold water. When it cools down, remove the fabric. Dry and grease with vegetable oil.

Lace can be used in the same way. In this case, a beautiful and original lace pattern will appear on the painted surface.

Why paint eggs for Easter

Many people ask themselves: “Why do they need to be painted for Easter?” The answer to this question should be sought even in the prehistoric period.

At all times, the egg was given great importance in absolutely all cultures. It was considered a symbol of rebirth, the spring Sun, which carries light, warmth, Life in all its manifestations, deliverance from winter shackles, darkness. The transition from non-existence to existence.

It was presented as gifts to the pagan ancient gods, and later they began to give it to their relatives and friends. It is known that already in ancient Egypt there was a tradition of coloring eggs. This was done during the flood of the Nile. This event in the life of the people was the most important, because the river brought life to people. Therefore, it was expected every year, like a kind of miracle. And when the spill happened, there were great celebrations. Painted eggs were exchanged, they were hung in temples and dwellings.

In the Indian Vedas, the god Brahma hatched from a Golden Egg.

In the East, there are legends that say that the world originated from Chaos, which was in a huge egg. Therefore, to this day they attach great importance to it there.

In ancient burials of completely different cultures, eggs are found, both natural and made from different materials. There are also painted ones among them. All the mythologies of the world keep legends associated with it, as a symbol of life, renewal, the source of the origin of everything that exists in this world.

They are also one of the main attributes of Christian Easter. According to ancient church tradition, the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene presented the first Easter egg to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. Krashenki are considered in Christian culture a symbol of the resurrection of Christ. Russian folk legends tell that at the time of the Resurrection of Christ, the stones on Golgotha ​​turned into red eggs.

By the way, everyone probably knows that they can be left until next year, using them in the treatment of various diseases, getting rid of the evil eye and spoilage. I always leave the one, the most beautiful, untouched. And although we do not heal with its help, and even more so we do not remove damage, but it lies in our house until next Easter. This is the custom passed down from my grandmother.

Well, perhaps that's all!

Today I tried to tell you as fully as possible about the methods of dyeing Easter eggs. Knowing these basic methods, and including fantasy, on their basis, you can come up with other, no less interesting ways.

And now I want to wish you peace, prosperity, kindness! As well as warmth, light, life without disease and sadness! If you wish all this on the eve or day of Easter, and eat a couple of painted Easter eggs, then everything will certainly come true!

Good health to all! And also Happy Easter! Christ is Risen!!!

There are a lot of variations in dyeing chicken eggs, but what remains unchanged is the process of preparing for dyeing. We share our tips with you:

1. So that the eggs do not burst during the cooking process, you need to get them out of the refrigerator in a couple of hours.

2. Gently wash all eggs under running water. So the paint will lie much more evenly.

3. Boil the eggs in salted water, again, this will prevent the shell from cracking.

4. In order for the eggs to be well cleaned, immediately after cooking, they must be poured with ice water until they cool completely.

5. Vegetable oil will help to give the painted eggs a shiny look. It is only necessary to dry the painted testicles and coat with refined oil.

We have finished with the preparation, now we can safely proceed to the main painting. We invite you to use our simple ideas.

Classic way

It involves painting eggs in onion skins. This is the method our ancestors used.

1. Rinse the husk (the more, the better) under water, transfer to a deep saucepan.

2. Add water to it, cook for about 40 minutes.

3. Turn off the fire and let the broth brew for a couple of hours.

4. Strain through a colander, removing all the husks.

5. Cook the prepared eggs. Cooking time depends on the color you want to get.

This process gives us solid eggs, if you want to give them prints of flowers, then you need to use nylon fabric and dried leaves.


Or apply the desired pattern with electrical tape, boil in the husk. Get rid of electrical tape. The drawing is ready.

Decoupage Easter eggs

This method is for those who do not want to bother with stickers and are used to doing everything themselves. We need patterned napkins, boiled eggs and gelatin.

1. Dilute gelatin as indicated on the package.

2. Cut out the drawings with thin scissors.

3. We apply the prepared drawing to the egg and apply gelatin glue to the surface of the napkin with a brush. We start gluing from the center and bring the brush to the edges.


Before serving, the eggs must be dried for 2 hours.

gradient fill

The whole point is that each egg is a tone darker than the previous one. We prepare dyes and eggs.

1. We breed food colorings in accordance with the instructions.

2. Lower the first egg for 20 seconds.

3. With the rest of the eggs, we carry out the previous method, only we increase the staining time for each egg by 20 seconds (the first 20, the second 40, the third 60, etc.).

As a result, you should get a whole series of eggs, which smoothly transitions from a light shade to a rich one.


If you are negative about purchased dyes, then use natural dyes.

Engraving

Why paint eggs for Easter?

I do not want to write so much information about it. I will not delve into history, to be honest, I never liked history at school, although in vain, of course.

So, that's Why do they paint eggs for Easter? I answer.

At all times, the egg was considered a symbol of the birth, the rebirth of the Sun. The sun carried light and heat. Previously, eggs were presented to the gods, but now we present them to relatives and friends.

Even in ancient Egypt, they began to color eggs, and the inhabitants of this event were waiting for a whole year. For them it was a great miracle.

In the Indian Vedas, the god Brahma hatched from a Golden Egg.

It is known that in the East, according to legend, they said that the World originated from Chaos and was in an egg.

In our world, there are legends that say that the egg is a symbol of life.

Easter eggs are one of the main attributes of Christian Easter. According to ancient church tradition, the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene gave the first Easter egg to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. Painted eggs are considered in Christian culture as a symbol of the resurrection of Christ. Russian folk legends tell that at the time of the Resurrection of Christ, the stones on Golgotha ​​turned into red eggs.

How to paint eggs with your own hands?

Of course, no one will argue with the fact that Easter eggs are the decoration of the festive table on Easter days. The stores now have a very large variety of all sorts of interesting things for decorating eggs, these are stickers, dyes, decoupage materials and much more.

The main thing is that the decorated eggs turn out to be cheerful, not sad, that is, they should be executed in bright, sunny colors.

The presence of red is obligatory according to old Russian traditions, and the rest is your fantasy, imagination and creativity to help you.

There are several rules for painting eggs:

• Eggs must be degreased and rinsed before painting or decorating. This is done with the help of laundry soap (washing) and alcohol (degreasing).
• Eggs are not cooked immediately, that is, you cannot take them out of the refrigerator and put them immediately into boiling water. Take out the eggs and let them lie warm for a while. Then there will be no large temperature difference and the shell will not crack during cooking!
• Boil the eggs by adding salt to the water, about 1 tbsp. for 1.5 cups of water.
• In order for the eggs to shine after coloring, you need to dry them well and then grease them a little with vegetable oil, remove excess oil with a cloth.

Interesting:😆 Have you ever heard about Easter eggs, krapanki, Easter eggs and drapanki. Sounds awesome 🙂

• dyes - paint in one color
• specks - painted in one color, but have small specks of a different color
• pysanky - on such eggs there is a small pattern
