5+ easiest and fastest ways to paint eggs for easter

Easter eggs are the main symbol of Easter. We have collected the simplest ideas for their preparation, which do not require long painstaking work, but allow you to get an effective result. So, how easy and beautiful to paint eggs for Easter?

What are eggs like?

Each Easter egg has a special name.

• The most popular - krashenka - plain, colored eggs.
• Decorated with spots and dots - specks.
• With a scratched pattern - drapes.
• Painted eggs received the appropriate name - Easter eggs.

Readiness number one: where to start?

There are 5 important nuances in the preparation of the main symbol of Happy Easter:

1. Do not cook cold eggs. A sharp temperature drop can lead to a violation of the integrity of the shell. Therefore, first, an hour before cooking, remove the eggs from the refrigerator and leave it on the table at room temperature. Another option - dip in warm (not hot!) Water.
2. Salt the water in which the eggs will be boiled at the rate of 1 tablespoon of salt per 1.5–2 liters of water. Salt strengthens the shell, and still does not allow the protein to leak to the surface in case of "breakdowns".
3. Thoroughly wash each egg in advance with soap, soda, and even better, wipe it with a cloth soaked in alcohol or vinegar. This will degrease the surface of the shell, and the paint will be more evenly distributed on the surface.
4. Add 9% table vinegar to the staining solution (approximately 1 tablespoon per 1.5 liters of water). Vinegar will fix the pigment on the shell and the color will last longer.
5. In order to give the dyes a festive look, they can be rubbed after staining and drying with a cloth moistened with vegetable oil.

Method 1. Industrial paints - games with color

Quickly, simply and without hassle at home, you can get eggs of any color by Easter.

Store dyes can be different:

• Dry - in powder or tablets - it will be necessary to first dissolve in water, having received a coloring liquid.
• Liquid - in capsules or bottles - they are, in fact, a paint that can simply be applied to the prepared egg evenly.

In any case, it is important to strictly follow the instructions on the packaging and the manufacturer's recommendations.

How it works?

1. Prepare the coloring solution according to the instructions. Add 1 teaspoon of 9% table vinegar.



2. Boil the eggs.



3. Put the eggs in the paint, immersing them completely. Hold in the solution until you achieve the desired color. Dry the puppies.

If you are a perfectionist and do not want to see a stain of paint in the place where the egg was in contact with the bottom of the container, you can make a simple device: stick a few pins into a “plastic cake” or a piece of sponge with the size of the bottom so that they point upward with their point. Put on the bottom of the container with the coloring solution. On such a stand, due to the minimum support area, the eggs will be painted perfectly evenly. It is desirable to dry a krashenka on the same "platform".

Method 2. Freedom of imagination - draw with the children

Drawing on the shells is fun and fun, and each child will be able to embody his artistic talent here. However, such entertainment is for older children, because we will work with hot boiled eggs and draw with wax crayons.

2. Place the egg on the stand.Insert the safety pins that will hold the testicle into the foam sponge or polystyrene. A bottle cap can also be used as a stand.

3. Gently, using a spoon or strainer, dip the egg with the sticker in hot water for a few seconds. Be careful: it is better if the water does not boil. Boiling boiling water can move the film, and the sticker will lie unevenly.



4. After the “shirt” has tightly wrapped the egg, it can be pulled out of the water.
