1. The marble effect is considered one of the most attractive. To create it, onion peels of different colors are used. It is recommended to mix orange, red and yellow husks with small pieces of paper. Eggs are laid on the husk. Then everything is wrapped in gauze or a small nylon stocking. Husks and paper will stick better if a wet egg is used. To achieve the desired results, the bags with eggs and onion peels are boiled in a saucepan, where the onion peels will also be, for 30-40 minutes. It is recommended to cook on low heat.
2. If you wish, you can paint the eggs with specks. In this case, wet eggs are rolled in dry rice, tightly tied with gauze or nylon stocking. Then cooking is carried out in onion broth. As a result, an attractive speckled color will be noted, which will remain after the rice grains.

5. Eggs boiled in onion skins can surprise with an unusual strip. Such a striped effect will be obtained if the eggshell is previously wrapped with threads or rubber bands and only after that is lowered into the onion broth. If desired, you can add a glossy effect using natural products. To obtain a glossy effect, it is recommended to rub cotton wool with vegetable oil, then grease the eggshell. A gloss is perfect for a striped effect.
6. Zelenka can also be used for coloring. With the help of onion peels and brilliant green, it will be possible to make attractive patterns on the eggshell. Drawings will resemble marbled stains. Initially, the husk is crushed with scissors or in a blender, coffee grinder. After that, the eggs are moistened with water and rolled in chopped onion husks, the particles of which are securely fixed with gauze or nylon stocking. Now you can boil water and add brilliant green, and its amount will determine the brightness of the shade. Now the eggs are boiled for 10 minutes and cooled. Only after this procedure, you can drain the water and carefully cut the gauze, rinse the onion husks from the eggshell. When carrying out such a procedure, it is advisable to wear special gloves and protect yourself from getting green paint on your hands.

I have already shared my proven ones with you, today I want to talk about such an interesting way of decorating eggs as painting with onion peels. The color can range from brown to deep red. The more onion skins are used for dyeing, the more juicy and vibrant the color of the eggs will be.

This time I didn't get very much husk (from 4 onions), so the color was not too red, but rather brown. But if you take a lot of husk, you get a very rich bright burgundy color.

For painting you need:

• Onion husks - the more the better

How to color eggs in onion skins:

So, put the prepared onion husks into a saucepan, pour water about half the volume and boil the husk for a few minutes so that it gives off color, and then boil in this water with the husk of the eggs. This is the first way.

You can do it in the second way. Put onion peels in a saucepan, lay eggs on top, fill with water so that it completely covers the eggs, bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.

That's all, painting eggs in onion skins is as easy as shelling pears and you get a beautiful color from light brown to burgundy red!

Eggs painted in this way can be additionally painted with acrylic or gouache paints, or you can stick festive Easter stickers on them. Children will especially love this creative process!

The Easter table is not only about Easter cakes and cottage cheese, sausage and boiled pork. Traditionally, at Easter, we still paint eggs - this is a very old custom, with its own interesting history. Some - literally in all the colors of the rainbow, others - just stick bright stickers. Call me conservative, but I want to show you how to paint eggs in onion skins. This method is closest to me, since my grandmother used it. It turns out that we are using a natural dye that everyone has in the house. The eggs are of a beautiful brownish color, as if velvety (the color density depends on the amount of husk, more on that later).
The process of coloring Easter eggs with onion skins is very simple, but still there are nuances in it so that they do not burst. I will gladly share with you everything I know about him.

Ingredients:

- 1 large handful of onion husks (in the free state it takes up a volume of 1.5 liters);
- 7 chicken eggs;
- 1 liter of water.

How to properly paint eggs with onion skins:

If you want to paint eggs with husks for Easter, then you will need to worry about the source material in advance. I begin to collect the husk about a month before the Bright Resurrection of Christ - during this period I just get the right amount. Peeling the onion, remove the dry husk and carefully sort it out. If you come across areas with a tainted inner layer, we throw them away. We carefully put the selected dry husks in a plastic bag, and on the eve of Easter we take out everything that we have collected and ... we begin to celebrate.

Onion peel is very light, so it will not sink immediately. Lightly "melt" it with your hand or with a spoon so that it becomes covered with water.

We put the saucepan on the fire, bring to a boil and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes. After 5-6 minutes after the start of the boil, the broth will acquire a beautiful brown color. (But to keep the color stable, we do not stop cooking.)

Then we filter the broth through a colander into another saucepan (in which we will cook the eggs). And set aside to cool down - if you immediately start painting the eggs and dip them into hot water, they can burst.

While the broth of onion peel (this is, in fact, paint) cools down, prepare the eggs.
Wash eggs thoroughly. We wash off the dirt, adhering particles. Carefully remove the colored markings with a brush (for eggs bought in the store).

In the cooled broth of onion peel, carefully lower the eggs. We make sure that the eggs do not hit each other - otherwise, during cooking, they may burst in this place.
The eggs must be completely covered in liquid for the color to occur evenly. If suddenly some of the eggs protrude from the liquid, add some cold water or transfer the eggs to another pan, where there would be less empty space between them, they would adjoin each other more tightly - then less liquid will be required to completely cover them.

We paint eggs in onion skins with a gentle boil for 10 minutes. By the way, see how you can.
Then we take out the eggs, put them in a bowl or saucepan and fill them with cold water. We keep it for 2 minutes under running water, and then just keep it for 8-10 minutes in cold water. Then we take the eggs out of the water, put them on a plate and stand until they cool completely.

Decoction of onion skins can be used again to color the eggs. Eggs dyed in this broth will be the same color as the first batch. So you don't have to collect a lot of onion skins to color a large number of eggs. You just need to color the eggs in batches.

We wipe the cooled eggs dry (the part that touched the plate during cooling will be wet) and put them on a festive dish or in special stands. Now you know how you can paint eggs for Easter with onion skins. It's not difficult at all, right?

It is advisable to use eggs of domestic chickens for coloring - they have beautiful, bright yellow yolks, they are tastier.
Eggs must always be fresh - in order to avoid unpleasant moments at the table.
The surface of the colored eggs can be greased with a cotton swab soaked in vegetable oil. At the same time, the eggs will acquire shine, but they will lose their velvety. So choose what you like best.
Store the colored eggs in the refrigerator. At temperatures from +2 to +4 degrees, eggs can be stored for up to 20 days (but is it worth keeping eggs for so long? It's better to paint so much to eat them in 3-4 days).

But without a refrigerator, boiled eggs can be stored for a short time, about 12 hours. At the same time, the eggs have time to preserve their taste and nutritional properties.
Therefore, when coloring eggs, it is advisable to take into account both the appetites of eaters and the shelf life of boiled eggs.
If you see that you have colored eggs out of work, then prepare some kind of salad from them, for example,

To prepare the broth, you need to put the husk in a saucepan - it is advisable to choose one that you do not mind spoiling, since the paint may remain on the walls. Pour hot water on top so that it does not reach the edge. Put on fire, bring to a boil and reduce the temperature. Onion husks are cooked over low heat for 20 to 50 minutes: the more, the darker the paint will turn out.

While the broth is preparing, you need to remove the eggs from the refrigerator so that they have time to warm up to room temperature. They will have to be boiled in a boiling liquid, and due to a sharp change in temperature, they can burst. Rinse them thoroughly and leave for half an hour while the husks are cooking.

Painting eggs with onion skins

It is advisable to strain the finished broth: otherwise, stains will remain on the shell, the color will be uneven, although some people prefer this option. Add salt to the water to make the shell harder and prevent paint from getting underneath and staining the protein. Gently lower the eggs, bring the infusion to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes. The longer you cook, the more intense the color the shell will acquire, but, on the other hand, the eggs will be less tasty: from prolonged heat exposure, the protein acquires the consistency of rubber and becomes denser. It is advisable to turn the eggs during cooking for even coloring. Make sure that the broth covers them completely.

To diversify the color, you can wrap some of the eggs with threads, and roll some in dry rice and wrap in cheesecloth. After cooking, some will get beautiful stains, while others will have a small speck.

If you take out the eggs after three minutes and pierce the shell with a needle in several places, and then cook it, adding cinnamon and cloves, then they will be colored inside.

Easter cake and beautifully decorated eggs are the main decoration of the Easter table. In this case, many housewives want to distinguish themselves and decorate eggs in a very unusual and original way. Coloring in a solution of onion peels is one of the oldest and safest methods.

Painting eggs with onion skins

This method was used by our ancestors, it is no less popular in our time. To prepare a solution for dyeing, pour onion peels with hot water, bring to a boil and simmer for half an hour - an hour over low heat. Then let the solution cool, add a spoonful of salt (this will prevent the eggs from bursting during cooking), put the eggs in it and cook for 15-20 minutes. The more onion husks, the richer the finished product will turn out.

You can take out the eggs from the pan in several pieces at different intervals, then we get the eggs from yellow to deep red-brown. We remove the boiled eggs from the dishes, lay them on a paper towel to swell. To give the eggs a glossy shine, grease them with sunflower oil.

If you have the time and desire, you can decorate such testicles. For this we need any leaves, blades of grass, greens, etc. We moisten a raw egg with water and apply parsley leaves to it, or a sprig of dill, a birch leaf, etc., and place it in a piece of nylon (you can use old clean stockings or tights), tie knots or sew it up and send it to paint in an onion solution. Then we also grease with vegetable oil.

Instead of leaves and twigs, you can use various stickers (stars, hearts, crosses, etc.) purchased in a store or made with your own hand from scrap materials. We glue stickers on the eggs and paint in the standard way. Or, on the contrary, you can stick the patterns on ready-made and cooled eggs, but you don't need to lubricate them with oil, otherwise the stickers will lag behind.
