How to paint eggs for Easter. Coloring Easter eggs step by step with photos
First you need to prepare the eggs. This is very important for the eggs to be beautiful.

How to prepare eggs for Easter painting
Preparation:
1. It is best to buy white eggs because they take paint better. Eggs must be washed thoroughly.
Usually the eggs are marked with a mark, date of release, and other things. This mark must be washed off, because it will show through any paint.
If it does not wash off with a sponge and warm water, try it with baking soda powder and, as a last resort, table vinegar. This will not cause any harm to the egg, because we act on it in this way for a short time.
Do not press too hard on the egg. Since it is raw, it may crack. The egg must be washed thoroughly. Because only on a clean egg will the paint lie in an even layer.
3. And one more trick. A cotton pad should be moistened with alcohol (if you don’t have alcohol at home, use 9% table vinegar) and wipe the eggs with it. This is to remove grease stains from the eggs from your fingers. We process all the eggs in this way.
Do not forget! When processing eggs, they should be at room temperature.
4. Place the eggs in a saucepan and add a couple of tablespoons of salt to prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking. And fill with cold water so that the eggs are completely covered.
By the way, can you tell old eggs from fresh ones? When we fill them with water, the old egg floats to the top, while the fresh egg remains at the bottom.
5. Let the eggs cook. We will cook on low heat. Of course we will boil it hard-boiled. After they boil, you need to cook for another 7-10 minutes if the eggs are store-bought. If the eggs are fresh village eggs, you need to cook them longer, after boiling for 13-15 minutes.
Don’t forget, when you remove the boiled eggs from boiling water, be sure to dip them in ice water for a while, this is so that they can be cleaned better later. Just don't refrigerate it at all. The eggs should be warm when painting.
Well, we've cooked the eggs. Now let's move on to their coloring.
How to paint beautiful eggs for Easter
1. Take a hard-boiled egg, wipe it again with alcohol or vinegar and wrap it in a paper napkin or paper towel, do not try to wrap the egg evenly, just wrap it randomly, as if you were crumpling a napkin (do not press too hard, crush the egg).
Pour a little vinegar, as if to get wet, from all sides. Press the napkin (crimp) more tightly onto the egg.
2. Take blue dye and randomly drip it onto the egg. Let the dye spread a little.
3. Take another dye, yellow. Also, in a chaotic manner, apply it to the egg.
4. Take the third dye, ours is red, and just like the first two, apply it to the egg.
5. Squeeze the egg with your palms so that the napkin sticks well to the shell. In this case, the napkin turns out to be one-color, evenly colored.
6. Before painting the egg, we need to make a stand for it. We take an ordinary sponge, stick English needles into it the size of an egg and that’s it, our stand is ready.
7. Place our egg in a napkin with dyes on a stand and let it dry a little.
8. After a couple of minutes, the egg has dried, carefully remove the napkin from it, trying not to smear the paint.
We got such a rainbow colored egg. Place the egg on our homemade stand again and let it dry completely.
How to dye Easter eggs to make them multicolored
1. We will need small but deep plastic dishes. Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into each of them.
2. Pour the dye into each of the dishes, a little at first, and then you can adjust it after diluting the dyes with water.
3. Dilute the dyes with water. You don’t need a lot of water, about less than half. You will understand when you see what we will do.
4. Take the egg and dip it 1/3 into the dye. We hold it for about 2 minutes.
5. Take out the egg and blot a drop from below. We leave the egg to dry a little on our homemade stand. Since our egg is warm, it dries out quite quickly.
6. When the egg is dry, dip it into the next dye, again about 1/3, for 2 minutes. We take it out, also blot the droplet at the bottom and set it to dry.
7. Dip the remaining uncolored part of the egg into the third dye. We take it out, not forgetting to wipe the droplet from below, and set it to dry.
This is the colorful egg we got.
How to paint Easter eggs with polka dots
1. Prepare two paints in plastic cups, yellow and blue, a candle, cotton wool on sticks and an egg cup. If you have some paint left over from a previous painting, you can use it. We light a candle. we need melted wax.
2. Dip the egg completely into yellow dye. Let's let it lie there for a couple of minutes, take it out and put it on a stand to dry.
3. The egg has dried out. Take a cotton swab, dip it in the melted wax and randomly apply dots of wax onto the egg with the stick. You can come up with something of your own. Inscription, figures, stripes, etc.
4. Literally let the wax dry for 10-15 seconds and add the egg to the second paint. Ours is blue. You can take any one you like. Let the egg sit in the paint for 2 minutes.
5. Remove from the dye, place on a stand, and let dry. Basically the egg is ready. We can leave it like this.
6. If you want to remove wax from an egg, warm it up a little next to a candle, in no case above the egg, just next to it. The wax melts and can be easily removed with a napkin.
How to paint eggs for Easter with color transition
We will need an egg and dye of the same color.
1. Pour just a little dye into a plastic cup so that it only covers the tip of the egg a little more than a centimeter and lower the egg there vertically with the blunt end down. Leave it like this for 2 minutes.
2. Then use a spoon to add a little more coloring. Depending on how large the egg is and how many rings you want to make of different intensities of color on the egg, calculate how much paint you need to add. We added about 1 cm at a time. We also left it for a couple of minutes.
3. Add more dye and also leave for 2 minutes. And so on until we cover the entire egg, leaving the egg in the dye for 2 minutes after each layer.
After covering the egg completely with dye, let it stand for 2 minutes, remove it from the dye and place it on our stand to dry.
As we can see, all the stripes on the egg are visible. The egg turned out beautiful, with a gradually weakening tone of paint towards the top.
How to paint striped eggs for Easter
1. Pre-color the egg blue. Next we need electrical tape. Cut off 20-25 centimeters of electrical tape and cut the electrical tape lengthwise into narrow strips.
2. Place the tape on the egg in a spiral. You can stick it however you like. You can also make the strip of electrical tape any width you want. In this way we cover the entire egg. Press the tape firmly against the egg so that there are no smudges.
3. This is what we got, covered with electrical tape. We dip it in the pre-prepared red dye, as always, for a couple of minutes. We take out the egg, put it on a stand and let it dry.
4. Our egg has dried, remove the electrical tape. As you can see, there is a blue color left under the electrical tape.
We got this striped egg in a simple way.
Mosaic coloring Easter egg
1. We cut a lot of corners from electrical tape and now stick them on the egg, which was previously painted yellow. We try to glue the corners in the shape of a mosaic. Between the corners we make a gap of approximately 2 millimeters. We lay the corners in random order.
2. This is the glued egg we got. Dip it in red dye to get a roughly orange color.
3. Remove from the dye and place on a stand to dry.
This is the egg we got. Now all that remains is to remove the electrical tape.
How to dye Easter eggs in onion skins
1. We will need onion peels, preferably from red and yellow onions. Eggs with already defatted shells. If you have not degreased them yet, wipe them with alcohol or vinegar. Squares of gauze measuring approximately 20 x 20 cm. Threads for tying gauze, a saucepan. There is a problem with the saucepan. After cooking onion skins, the pan is very difficult to wash, so choose a pan that is not needed or that you paint in every year. Or you will paint it.
2. For decoration, we will add various leaves and figures cut out of parchment so that the eggs are not so boring.
3. The husks need to be placed in a pan and mashed to crush. The size of the pan and the amount of peeling depends on how many eggs you want to dye. Fill the husk with water and put it on the stove to cook for 1-1.5 hours.
4. We begin to prepare the eggs. Take gauze, place a leaf on it, face up, carefully straighten all the ends of the leaf. Place an egg on a piece of paper. Carefully gather all the ends of the gauze into a pile and tighten it, pressing the leaf firmly against the egg. We twist the collected ends of the gauze into a tourniquet, then pull the leaf to the egg and tie it with threads.
5. We also make the following eggs. You can even lay out some composition of leaves on gauze. Place the egg in the center and tighten the gauze again. But for figures made of parchment paper, it is best to dip them in water so that they stick to the egg, and then put the egg in cheesecloth and also carefully tighten it.
6. Add salt to the boiling onion skins and place the eggs there.
7. Cover them all completely with husks and let them cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat. Remember that the eggs must be at room temperature, otherwise they will burst.
8. We take the eggs out of the husks and transfer them immediately into cold water to make them easier to clean later.
We cut off the gauze, rinse it with water and see how beautiful it is.
To make the eggs shiny, brush them with vegetable oil. The most convenient way to do this is by pouring a little oil onto cotton pads.
Well, the eggs are ready. They are perhaps not inferior in beauty to painted eggs.
Original DIY Easter eggs
We took:
- Eggs - 12 pcs.
- Water - 2 liters
- Vinegar - 2 or 3 tbsp.
- Silk fabric (with different patterns)
- Any white fabric
- Rubber bands
1. To color the eggs, we took unnecessary men's silk ties, of which we had a lot. If you don't have unnecessary ties, just take pieces of multi-colored silk.
2. We cut the fabric into squares. Take the egg and place it on the front side of the silk fabric.
3. Wrap tightly so that the fabric does not move around the egg. We twist the resulting tail of the fabric at the top, thus tightening the egg even tighter.
4. Place the same piece of white fabric on top of the colored fabric. We also curl the tail. We secure everything by putting an elastic band on the tail, twisting it several times. We do the same with all eggs.
5. When all the eggs are prepared, put them in a saucepan.
6. Fill with water, add vinegar and put on fire. After the water boils, cook for another 15 minutes. Turn down the heat so they don't jump around in the pan. If only they would slowly boil.
7. After 15 minutes, take out the eggs and place them on a dish. Leave on a plate until completely cooled.
8. When the eggs have cooled completely, remove the elastic bands and unfold the fabric. Look at the beauty that appears from under the fabric. In this way we unwrap all the eggs.
These are the most beautiful eggs we got. Surprise your friends. Enjoy yourself.
Very beautiful Easter eggs
1. Take hard-boiled eggs, ordinary colored napkins and egg white. We tear the napkin into 4 parts. Separate the top colored layer from the napkins.
2. Dip the egg into the white and swirl to moisten the entire area of the egg. Place the egg on the wrong side of the napkin and wrap it. We tear off the excess napkin.
3. Dip the brush into the white and grease the egg on top, thus distributing the napkin evenly over the entire egg, while simultaneously pressing the napkin more tightly to the shell.
4. Everything is carefully distributed, the egg is ready. We make all the eggs in the same way. You can take different napkins. Accordingly, the eggs will be different.

Shell mosaic
Boil white and brown eggs, after washing them with soda. Prepare the shell by removing the inner film. Break the shell into pieces. Let's prepare the paste. To do this, pour 2 tbsp into a saucepan with 200 ml of cold water. spoons of flour or starch, put on the stove and, stirring,
bring to a boil over low heat. After boiling, cook until thickened for 2-3 minutes and leave until cool. Raw egg white can replace the paste.
Cover the eggs with pieces of shell. For ease of work, we use tweezers and toothpicks. To make the mosaic stand out brighter, you need to leave gaps between each piece of the shell. When half the egg is ready, put it in an egg carton until the glue dries completely. Turn the egg over and cover the other half. Eggs and shells can be pre-painted and, using your imagination, experiment with color; it is advisable to use natural dyes. Try decorating eggs with different colored shells or pieces of the same color but different shades. Come up with your own ornament, arrange the colored pieces in rows or stripes - there are many options.
Mosaic of cereals
A very troublesome, but original way to decorate Easter eggs is with a mosaic of cereals. For decoration, you can use various cereals - millet, oats, rice; legumes - beans, peas, lentils. The variety of colors of lentils alone is amazing - green, orange, yellow, brown, red and even black. Sunflower and pumpkin seeds, small pasta - everything will go into use. Create your own little masterpiece, find free time and a good mood for it! Come up with an original pattern
although eggs decorated with one type of cereal look very nice. We draw a drawing on the shell with a simple pencil, according to which we will lay out the cereal. Lubricate one half of the egg with paste or white and, using tweezers, apply the grains to the surface, pressing lightly with your fingers, while trying to fill the entire space as much as possible. After this half has dried, we begin decorating the second part. If the grains have fallen off in some places, gluing them up won’t be difficult.
Mosaic of confectionery sprinkles
Pastries and cakes are decorated with colorful confectionery sprinkles. Why not find a use for them in Easter decor? Easter eggs decorated with such sprinkles look very bright and festive. The process of laying out the mosaic is similar to the previous options. The variety of shapes and colors of confectionery toppings allows you to create decor not only in the form of patterns or ornaments, but also inscriptions and drawings. The symbols of Easter - the cross, the letters XB (Christ is Risen) - personify Christian traditions. Flowers symbolize the spring awakening of nature and prosperity. An Easter egg with a mosaic heart looks charming and touching; such a gift for a loved one will certainly be a pleasant surprise.
Easter cake topping can also be used to decorate Easter eggs. To do this, you need to apply the paste to the egg and roll it in the sprinkles. This method is the simplest and easiest to implement. Even small children can handle this job.
Easter eggs decorated in all of the above ways can be eaten without danger to health. Involve the kids in creating mosaics and decorating Easter eggs will become a fun, creative activity for the whole family. The most important thing is to prepare for Easter with pure thoughts and a good soul. Create with love in your heart, and you will definitely succeed!

Happy holiday to you!
Hello everybody!
I would like to say a few words about why colored eggs are one of the main symbols of Easter.
Several versions are being considered on this matter:
First- according to legend, Saint Mary Magdalene, having learned about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, came to Emperor Tiberius and gave him an egg, proclaiming “Christ is Risen!”
To which Emperor Tiberius replied: “This is as difficult to believe as the fact that a white egg can turn red!” At the same moment, the white egg turned red.
The red egg is a symbol of the Resurrection, a symbol of Easter. Just as new life arises from an egg, so the world was born again through the Resurrection of Christ.
The red color signifies the joy of the Resurrection, the rebirth of the human race, but it is also the color of the Blood of Christ shed on the cross, which redeemed the sins of the world.
Second– once upon a time, a very long time ago, it was believed that the entire universe, the entire world, came from an egg. The egg was a symbol of fertility and the spring rebirth of the sun.
Third- during the entire Lent, you cannot eat certain foods, including eggs. Wanting to preserve eggs, people boiled them and colored them with natural dyes so that they could not be confused with unboiled ones. Soon, this turned into an Easter tradition.
Fourth– Easter egg (red) – symbolizes the blood of Christ crucified on the cross.
Easter colored eggs were endowed with protective properties.
Dyeing eggs red began in Western Europe only in the 13th century. In Eastern Europe, eggs were often painted gold (yellow).
The custom of dyeing eggs has been preserved mainly among Slavic peoples. The peoples of Western Europe also have an Easter egg as a symbol, but it is not necessarily a painted chicken egg, it can be chocolate.
Eggs are painted in different colors. Paints can be applied using different methods, which is why the designs on them are different: spotted, openwork, marbled, painted with patterns, flowers, ornaments, etc.
The name of Easter eggs depends on the method used to paint them.
Krashenki (galunki)- hard-boiled eggs, painted one color.
You can get different colors using natural dyes - plant decoctions, and by changing the time the egg is in the decoction and the density of the decoction, you can adjust the color saturation.
Red - brown (traditional) - from onion peels;
Yellow - from birch leaves, calendula flowers, chamomile, St. John's wort, poplar shoots, young apple tree bark, caraway seeds, carrots;
Red (pink) - from beet juice, sandalwood chips, bird cherry berries, lingonberries;
Green - from nettle, moss, periwinkle leaves, lily of the valley, shoots of young rye and wheat;
Violet (blue and cyan) - from dark mallow petals, elderberries and blueberries, grape juice, red cabbage;
Brown or black - from oak bark, buckthorn, walnut shells, fir cones, coffee beans.
Today, eggs are most often colored with food coloring.
"Marble" eggs- they wrapped the eggs in dry leaves, straw, onion peels, wrapped them in rags or gauze, tied them with multi-colored threads and boiled them. The result was a beautiful and unusual pattern, reminiscent of marble.
One option is to roll a wet egg in millet or rice, wrap it in cheesecloth, tie it tightly and color it in the usual way.
Drapes (shkryabanks)- on eggs painted in rich or dark colors, a pattern is applied with a sharp object - a knife, a thick needle, scissors, an awl.
Pattern on the egg scratch out, having previously drawn it with a pencil. The drawing turns out to be openwork.
Krapanki – “to speck”– cover with drops. The eggs are painted one color, and when they are dry, drops of hot wax are applied to them. Once the wax has cooled, the eggs are placed in a cold solution of a different color. Wait until the paint dries, then put the eggs in hot water so that the wax melts or you can scrape it off carefully with a knife. A hot wax droplet can be pulled off by the “tail” and made into a leaf.
Today, instead of wax, you can use tape (it does not allow water to pass through) and cut out any pattern you like from it.
Easter eggs– these are very skillfully painted Easter eggs, stage by stage, using a special technology. Patterns, symbols, elements of flora and fauna are applied to white raw eggs with hot beeswax and paints.
First, the egg was degreased and an ornament (or part of it) was applied with hot wax, which should be white, then the egg was dipped in light paint (usually yellow). When the surface was dry, an ornament was applied to it with wax, which should be yellow. The egg was then dipped into a darker color of paint, and so on, down to the darkest paint - each color of the pattern was protected with wax. The egg was then placed in an oven (not very hot) or held over a candle to melt the wax. Next, they greased it with vegetable fat to make the pysanka shine.
Such eggs were never eaten, but were used for gifts or amulets.
Malyovanka– “paint – draw” – paint patterns on the egg with paints. Paints can be watercolors, special paints for eggs, or stained glass. To prevent the paint from spreading and dry faster, you should paint the egg when it is still hot. Kids can draw with felt-tip pens.
Eggs- these are special Easter eggs made using a special technology from wood, bone, porcelain, stone, glass, and precious metals.
They are made for gifts and given to relatives and friends.
The most expensive Easter eggs made using this technology are Faberge eggs; they were made as gifts to members of the imperial family.
RARE TECHNIQUES:
Wax beads– small beads are placed on the shell, which is coated with wax or paraffin, or simply glued on with glue.
You can string beads onto a thread and wrap them around the egg several times.
"Slit Easter egg"– an openwork product is cut out of a solid shell.
Embroidered egg- embroidered in the same way as a tablecloth or napkin, only the material is eggshell.
Take an egg, blow out its contents, then cover it with strips of napkins in three layers, thoroughly drying each layer.
Covered with fabric. The seams are covered with any braid (glue). You can make a bow or loop from the braid.
The fabric can also be embroidered with beads, gold, ribbons, etc.
Decoupage technique- easy to implement. Fragments of the intended design are cut out of napkins, the egg is smeared with egg white, a fragment of the design is picked up with a brush, applied to the egg and carefully smoothed.
This is how the design is applied, fragment by fragment, until the entire egg is decorated. It is better to choose small fragments of the pattern so that they fit better on the convex surface of the egg.
You can apply PVA glue to empty spaces and decorate them with semolina (semolina can be painted in the desired color). These make very colorful Easter eggs.
Mosaic- remove the shell from colored eggs that have cracked during cooking, break it into pieces and glue it onto other eggs using starch paste.
Decorations– glue small shaped pasta, seeds and sunflower seeds, colored cereals with starch paste.
Of course, you already know all the little tricks when painting eggs for Easter, but sometimes you want to repeat everything again.
To prevent eggs from cracking their shells during cooking, they must first be kept for about an hour at room temperature, a tablespoon of salt added to the water, and small holes pierced at one end of each egg.
Choose the smoothest eggs - the color will fall on them better.
Before painting, you need to degrease the shell - wipe it with a soap or alcohol solution - the paint will lie more evenly.
You need to add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the water for coloring eggs - the paint will lie evenly.
To avoid leaving fingerprints on the eggs, you need to paint them with clean hands, without cream.
After coloring the eggs, leave them in the same solution overnight in the refrigerator, the color will be brighter and more saturated.
In order for the painted eggs to shine, you need to wipe them dry and grease them with sunflower oil.
Happy upcoming holiday!!!
