There are many ways to paint eggs for the feast of Easter. But many options are carried out with hot eggs and in boiling solutions. An example of this. Such methods are not suitable for exciting activities with children. From this description, you will learn how to easily paint cooled eggs in marble patterns using paints. Such coloring eggs with acrylic paints can be fun for young children and very safe for them.

For creative painting will require:

1. Acrylic paints of different colors. Gouache, watercolor will not work, because they will smear and stain your hands even after drying.
  2. Medical gauze or wide bandage.
  3. Some medical cotton to create a layer of 1 cm.
  4. Box, packages to cover the desktop and do not stain it.
  5. Brush and palette.
  6. Rubber gloves.
  7. Stand for eggs from cardboard packaging.
  8. Eggs.

Pre-boil eggs in boiling water for about 10-15 minutes. Next, cool them to a cold state.
  To put a marble pattern on Easter eggs will need to create a soft device of cotton and gauze. First fold the cheesecloth in two layers.

Then distribute cotton wool 1 cm thick on gauze. The dimensions of this device are from 10 cm in width and from 25 cm in length. Such an area is necessary so that an egg can be easily rolled inside.

The top layer consists of medical gauze (bandage). This layer must completely cover the cotton wool, otherwise in the process of its fiber may stick to the shell, and they will be difficult to remove.

On the surface of the gauze layer squeeze a few drops of acrylic paints. It is possible to apply paint asymmetrically, and in any sequence and in different scale.

Place boiled and baked egg on cheesecloth. If the egg was in water, then you do not need to dry it, as the paint needs to be slightly moistened.

Unpack the gauze roll and place the egg on the carton so that the paint dries.

On the inner layer of this “device” for dyeing, add new drops of paint and repeat the procedure with another egg.

On top of the marble pattern with a brush, apply with acrylic paint any inscription dedicated to Easter: “H.V.”, “Happy EASTER”, etc.

As each time a little new paint is added, a new color scheme is obtained, and secondary coloring of the eggs with acrylic paints of the same color does not occur.

Easter eggs are ready to decorate your holiday table, their color will be dazzled in the sun.

Easter eggs

Dyeing eggs is a small home sacrament that sets its participants in a festive mood. While we collect onion peel, grass for painting eggs or preparing paints and brushes, and then we are engaged in dyeing or painting Easter eggs, we have time to think, to remember the old times, childhood, when you painted eggs with the whole family, surrounded by warmth and care of loved ones. Who loved you just like that, for no reason, just because you are their very best, beloved daughters and sons, grandchildren and granddaughters!

When we prepare for Easter, our soul lives a real, correct life, filled with love and kindness. Watch yourself, and you will also experience a spiritual uplift and joyful heat inside when you bake Easter bread - Easter cake, paint eggs or cook cottage cheese Easter treat - Easter.

Easter pictures

Of course, you can use a set of food dyes, it is fast, boil eggs, open a bag, bring paint solution, hold eggs in it and that's it. However, it seems to me that the purchased dyes somewhat contradict the spirit of the great feast of the Resurrection of Christ. I think it is much more important for the family and for the soul of each person to come together at the table and engage in a common joyful business - making Easter eggs!

Painted testicles and eggs in thermolabels

There are many ways of painting or painting eggs.

In terms of Christian Easter traditions, eggs should be reddish brownbecause the egg itself is a symbol of life, and the red color of the shell means the blood and death of Christ. Therefore, when we break dyed Easter eggs, we symbolically show how life conquers death! In this Easter ritual, our faith in the Resurrection of Christ is expressed and there is a hint that in order to be happy, we need to act (it is our hand that breaks the egg), and not to go with the flow.

Therefore, if you are a believer, then in your Easter basket there must be eggs of brown-red flowers!

How to make eggs in speck or leave a stencil of grass and leaf drawings, paint eggs with wax, you can read in the story about the Greek traditions of celebrating Easter.

Stencil for painting eggs

If you decide to decorate Easter eggs with a pattern ( a mixture of gouache and PVA glue 1: 1)  and do not know what to depict or if you can not draw, then you can use a stencil. The stencil is made of paper, in which holes are cut - chaotically or in the form of an ornament, in the form of circles, squares, flowers, stripes, leaves - anything can be cut. How to cut - remember how we make snowflakes on the windows - fold the paper several times and cut through the layers of paper on the folds.

Then the stencil is applied to the egg and paint is applied.

Ready-made stencils can be bought, for example, in Indian stores - ask there stencils for hand-painted henna, you’ll have a fine and elegant drawing with flowers and herbs.

Painted eggs with acrylic paints

More eggs can be painted with acrylic paints (such kits are sold in many departments of stationery). Such eggs are better not to eat (after all, this paint is not food-grade), but to be kept for beauty (to be kept for a long time, boil in a very strong salt solution for 30 minutes).

Here is how painted boiled Easter eggs Natasha Rybka:

These flowers are painted on the testicles with acrylic paints.

To the paint on the eggs are not smeared, the eggs are best placed on the stand. Acrylic (and the gouache mix with PVA glue) dries quite quickly.

If you have your own way of painting or decorating eggs with photos, we will gladly post your tips and pictures of Easter eggs.

One of the main symbols of Easter is painted eggs. Traditionally they are painted in onion peel, which gives the eggs a symbolic red color. But I want so much to decorate not only red, but also multi-colored, unusual, painted Krashenki.

The easiest way is to use food colors for eggs. But even here, without knowing the rules and features of coloring, you can face a number of difficulties. Therefore, we will understand how to paint eggs for Easter dyes. And we will consider both classical methods and unusual color options.

We will not discuss in this material the safety of chemical finished dyes. We will examine only the pitfalls of this problem.

Recall that additives marked "E", which are part of such means for coloring, are harmful to health. Therefore, eggs after processing with dyes are often transferred from the category of food to the category of souvenirs.

Many, without thinking about whether it is possible to eat food dyes for eggs, eat protein, which came in paint. We advise not to risk and not to give such eggs to children and allergies.

Many manufacturers add to the composition of salt or sugar, which reduces the concentration of harmful chemical additives, but does not make the paint edible.

Often on dye sets like “Krashenka”, “Easter set”, “Paint for eggs”, “Decorate”, etc. the manufacturer does not indicate the composition at all, but only writes that it is a food dye.

But do not let your sleep down. Even the color of the dye can tell what dangers lie behind it.

For those who are not familiar with the "chemical kitchen" dyes, we have prepared a brief transcript.

The most innocent dyes are E 100 and E 140. The first is obtained from curcumin and gives orange, less often red color to the dye. The second is chlorophyll, which paints eggs green.

E 122 (carmoisin) is used to make a red dye. Causes allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to aspirin.

E 124 gives a red color, but is prohibited for use in the food industry.

E 128 is another supplement for red. Due to the presence of aniline, it is prohibited for use by the European Commission.

E 102 or tartrazine is a yellow dye with a stained reputation.

E 132 - an additive in the form of synthetic indigo carmine, which is necessary for obtaining green, blue and yellow color. But the karma of this supplement is complex: it causes asthma in asthmatics, exacerbations in allergy sufferers with complications such as Quincke's edema.

E 133 or brilliant blue FCF is capable of the same feats as his previous brother.

E 142 or a green supplement causes an allergic rash on contact - it is banned in a number of countries.

This frightening list is endless. But this is enough to understand that the “food” mark does not make the dye safe.

By really safe can be attributed organic dyes. But it is very expensive and unprofitable to the manufacturer. Therefore, in stores about such dyes are not even heard.

How to paint eggs food dyes

If the question is whether it is possible to have dyes for eggs, it doesn’t bother you so much, we suggest that you protect your relatives and try to prevent the penetration of dye through the shell. To do this, you have to follow a few simple rules.

Choose eggs for dyeing fresh and well-shelled.

Remove the eggs from the fridge in advance so that they get warm. This will prevent cracking of the shell due to temperature differences.

It is advisable to wash the product with warm water before cooking, if necessary, use a brush and soapy water.

It is better to immerse the product for boiling in water at room temperature.

Some housewives when cooking add salt to the water. But this method will not prevent the formation of cracks, but will help the protein to curl faster and not flow out of the shell in the event of splits. Such eggs are no longer suitable for staining.

Boil better in a wide saucepan and lay the eggs in a single layer.

Avoid boiling strongly when boiling: eggs will boil over and boil over and may beat each other.

There are certain requirements for the dyes themselves for Easter eggs. When choosing a product, pay attention to the composition. At least on the package should be marked "food".

Important! Pearlescent dye for eggs is absolutely contraindicated for ingestion. It can only be used for the decoration of souvenir eggs.

The classic way of dyeing eggs with food dyes

The method of coloring will largely depend on the type of dye itself. The most commonly used powdered dry dyes for eggs at Easter. You can find food dyes in tablets.

The principle of staining with such agents is identical. But it is better to read the instructions before use, where the recommended proportions are indicated.

The color indicated on the package will be obtained when dyeing white eggs. If the dye is used for brown shell, the color may vary significantly.

Often, brown eggs in the dyeing field get a sloppy or dirty look.

Consider, the more saturated the solution for dyeing is, the brighter and darker the shell color will turn out.

Paint pre-boiled eggs.

The shell before painting is preferably degreased. This can be done with vinegar or alcohol.

If using alcohol, wait 10 to 15 minutes after processing for the product to evaporate from the surface. If salt was used during cooking, it should be thoroughly washed before treatment with an oxidizing agent.

In a ready solution we add a spoonful of vinegar - this technique increases the acidity, which improves staining.

We lower the egg into the solution, where we hold it for about 10 minutes.

After that, we get the Krashenka from the liquid and leave it to dry completely.

Dry Krashenki better on a stand for eggs. But in this case it is difficult to avoid the appearance of bands.

Better to make a special stand. To do this, in the foam sponge stick pins or needles with hats.

On such an improvised stand, painted eggs dry without stripes and streaks.

After drying, the Krashenki can be treated with vegetable oil to make them shine. This can be done with a brush or directly with your hands.

In addition to the classical method, you can use

How to use liquid dyes for eggs

Food dyes for eggs are liquid in packages such as plastic capsules or glass tubes.

The concentration of the coloring matter in such tools is much higher, and crafts after their application are bright and shiny.

Boiled eggs are also used for processing. We will work directly with our hands. Therefore, wear gloves on your hands to prevent the dye from getting into the skin.

We apply a little dye directly on the egg shell and begin to rub the coloring matter until the entire surface is covered. If necessary, you can add directly during processing.

In detail the process of applying liquid dye on eggs is shown in the video:

For those who still prefer natural materials, we have prepared a selection

Eggs, painted in one color, are called Krashenkas, and painted with ornaments or subject patterns - pysanky. The classic pysanka is a complicated way of painting Easter eggs, where wax, steel feathers or hooks are used, as well as special paints. But along with the traditional methods of coloring, there are a large number of more simple and original methods to paint an egg. Even kids will be able to paint Easter eggs with watercolor, gouache or markers. You can also use watercolor pencils, proofreaders, felt-tip pens, gel pens and other standard writing tools. Painting and painting eggs for the main holiday of Christians Easter is a long tradition. One of the legends says that when St. Mary Magdalene came to the emperor Tiberius and told about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the emperor did not believe and said that it was just as impossible as the fact that the chicken egg would turn red. At the same time, the chicken egg he was holding in his hands turned red in confirmation of the news of Mary Magdalene. Other versions include the emergence of the tradition of pre-Christian times.

Painted Easter eggs in watercolor

A simple way to do your own hands unique and colorful Easter eggs - painting Easter eggs with watercolor, can be combined with watercolor pencils. Keep in mind that this is not a persistent dye, but it is an easy, affordable and fun decor method, besides you can make a real effect of watercolor painting right on the shell.

The saturation of the pattern depends on the degree of dilution of water paint. You can first cover the entire surface of the eggs with a light layer of watercolor, and then, while the paint is still dry, add more concentrated and saturated spots.

The core of watercolor pencils consists of pressed watercolor, which allows you to dissolve them with water. In other words, we paint as if with colored pencils, and then we pass through the image with a wet brush or cotton and we get a drawing with watercolor. In this case, watercolor pencil can draw on the still wet surface of the egg. The effect is like a pencil melting. As a result, soft and slightly blurred lines perfectly draw the details.
