Galaxy Eggs
These galaxy eggs are quick, easy, and extremely cool to boot! Pretty shades of blue, purple, and pink make for a gorgeous background and a splattering of white paint adds the stars.
Ingredients
- Boiled Eggs
- Blue Purple, and Pink Liquid Food Dye
- Coffee Filters
- White Craft Paint
- Small Rubber Bands
- Small Spray Bottle
- ¼ Cup White Vinegar
- Old Toothbrush Hard is best
- Rubber Gloves optional
Instructions
- Place the vinegar in the small spray bottle.
- Wrap each egg, point end down, in a coffee filter, and use the rubber band to secure it at the top.
- Using rubber gloves if desired, so the dye doesn’t get all over your hands, put about three drops of each color on each egg covered in the coffee filter. The dye will spread across the filter and this is good!
- Spritz the eggs with the vinegar and then leave them to sit for 5 minutes.
- Unwrap the eggs and then use the dye soaked filters to pat any white spots remaining on the eggs. Let sit for another 5 minutes to dry a bit.
- Put the paint in a small dish and dab the bristles of the toothbrush in the pain and use your thumb or finger to flick the bristles so that they splatter the eggs. I usually went around the egg twice.
- Let them sit to dry for about 15 minutes or overnight and enjoy!
Notes
- While the rubber gloves aren't absolutely required, they do protect your hands, which will get quite messy.
- Make sure to let the eggs dry after dyeing them and before painting the stars on and refrigerating them.
- Use quick drying craft paint for the star spray so you can handle them sooner.
