Watercolor shaving foam

Blogger Jenna Ezarik   who published a video about this original way to paint eggs for Easter, calls it "the strongest possible". It will need a lot of shaving foam. She needs to fill the bottom of the tank, and top with a liquid food dye. You can pour dye with stripes, drops and other abstract patterns, use one color or several.

The goal is not to paint all the foam completely, but to prepare a mass with paint in which the egg will collapse, so the patterns will be much more effective than the dye of one tone.

  Boiled eggs are rolled in the resulting mixture and left for twenty minutes outside the containers.

  After that, the mixture is removed with a napkin. The result should be eggs painted with a watercolor effect.

Stationery eraser geometry

Office gum is suitable not only for cutting a watermelon in half (). The essence of the method is simple: before dipping a boiled egg into the paint (the method works with soluble food coloring), it must be carefully pulled off with several rubber bands. It is not necessary to strive for symmetry in the lines.

After 15-20 minutes, you need to remove excess liquid with a cloth and just remove the gum.

You can not use the gum, and apply strips and patterns on the egg with a thin layer of the usual dough or in another way. For example blogger Sarah johnson   , who published a clip about an elastic band, simply draws patterns on eggs with a simple wax pencil, and then removes wax.

Textured paper towel patterns

A simple way to dye eggs, which will require a liquid dye, spray with water, thick napkins or paper towels, stationery gum and gloves. A boiled egg is wrapped in a towel, tying this improvised package with an elastic band. It is dripped with liquid dye in different places, then sprayed with water from a spray bottle.

  Twenty minutes later, the egg is removed from the towel. Perforation from paper is transferred to the egg.

Colored spots with nail polish

One of the strangest ways that bloggers use is painting eggs with nail polish. And no, you don't have to brush over it. You will need a plastic container with room-temperature water, bottles with varnish of different colors, a wooden stick or a toothpick (to stir the varnish), and gloves so as not to get your hands dirty.

Blogger A thrifty mom   , so painted eggs for Easter, notes that the water must be at room temperature, otherwise the varnish in it will spread out incorrectly. You can check the readiness of water by dripping varnish into the vessel several times - drops should spread on the surface of the water without sinking.

  If everything worked out, the varnish can be mixed a little with a wooden stick: such divorces will create more unusual patterns on the egg.

  After all these preparatory operations, you just need to dip the boiled egg into the water - but not completely. Lacquer film from the surface of the water goes over the egg, creating an abstract pattern, and the egg itself will resemble marble.

  Since the egg will not be completely covered with varnish film, you can repeat the procedure with the same colors of varnish and dip the egg in them with the other side. Or use a different set of colors.
