How to blow an egg for decorating: http://www.wikihow.com/Blow-Out-Eggs

Coloring your eggs:
You'll need

  • Water
  • Vinegar
  • Icing Coloring
  • Wire Rack (place news paper underneath
  • Toothpick
  • Spoon
  • Glass bowl you don't mind being stained
  1. Mix 2 parts water with 1 part white vinegar.
  2. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes (or until boiling). Carefully remove from microwave.
  3. Choose your color and with a toothpick add some color to your water and stir (Tip: For best results use icing coloring).
  4. Using a toothpick re-open the holes at the end (Tip:Doing this will prevent your egg from "popping").
  5. Place your egg in your color for 2-4 minutes depending your desired color. Using your spoon, move the water over it for even coverage.
  6. Tilt egg to remove any access water that got inside and place on a wire rack to dry.
