Easter eggs dyed with tissue paper
Dye your Easter eggs with tissue paper, and let the little ones take part in the cosy Easter traditions. "With tissue paper, water, and a bit of patience, the eggs quickly transform into small works of art," Anna says. "And both children and adults can join in," Clara adds.
Blow out your eggs. Rinse them and let them dry.
Make sure to cover your table properly before you start colouring your Easter eggs.
Dip the egg into water and cover it with tissue paper. You can choose one colour of tissue paper or cut small pieces of different colours of paper to create a colourful pattern.
Optionally, add a little extra water on top of the tissue paper to make it stick to the egg.
Let the eggs and the wet tissue paper dry.
When the tissue paper is dry, you can carefully remove it and reveal the beautiful colours that are now dyed onto the egg.
Optionally, finish by painting patterns on the eggs, for instance with gold-coloured paint for an extra decorative touch. Now, the Easter eggs are ready to adorn your Easter home.
