A Brilliant Easter Egg Tip!

A wire whisk...

+ eggs and dye...

= a BRILLIANT idea for dying Easter eggs!

Curious?

My step-mom shared with me this tip from the recent issue of Family Fun Magazine.

"This month's issue had a great idea in it to help little ones color their Easter eggs without having to use a spoon or those little wire dipping tools that comes with the kit. Use a wire whisk instead! Just slip the egg between the wires, and your egg is nestled in a safe basket of wires! Less chance of breaking the egg as you dip it into your cup!"

Definitely an "a-ha moment" for me! :)

What do you think? Any other tips for a good Easter egg decorating experience?

  3. I plan on doing the paper mache (masking tape) technique that I learned from Kim and Kris on the DIY Dish show! I will create a blog post after we do it!

  4. That is great! I'm going to try the tape technique and drizzling rubber cement. I'm adding that one to my list though. Thanks!
