Happy Easter

I know that dying eggs doesn't count as baking or cooking. However, easter eggs are extremely cute, and after you're done dying them, you can use them to cook or bake! So I figured I could at least share some pictures of our afternoon dying easter eggs at home on our front porch.


To create the striped effect we used thin strips of electrical tape on a plain white egg. After dying it in one color and allowing it to dry, remove the tape and apply once again slightly overlapping the parts of the egg that are still white. These were my favorite eggs that was made that day.

The eggs that we put our names on didn't turn out as well as we had hoped. The stickers kept falling off in the dye, but you get the gist of what we were trying to do. Using sticker letters made for mailboxes would probably work better than stickers made for scrap booking. Hmm...live and learn ;)The roomie's initials
