Ingredients

For each color:
1 teaspoon white vinegar
About 20 drops liquid food coloring
½ cup boiling water
White-shelled hard-boiled eggs

Directions

1. Line a large baking sheet with paper towels and top with a wire cooling rack.
2. In a small bowl, stir together vinegar, food coloring, and half a cup of boiling water. Immerse eggs in the dye mixture, turning occasionally to ensure even coating, about five minutes or longer depending on the desired color tone. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from the dye and transfer to the rack to drain. Refrigerate when dry.
3. Here are some ways to create designs on your eggs:
   – Wrap a portion of the egg with a rubber band before dyeing. Once the egg is dry, remove the rubber band to reveal the white, undyed strip underneath.
   – Add stickers or tape in shapes such as stars or dots before dyeing.
   – Remove once the egg is dry. Before dyeing, draw on the egg with a light-colored crayon.
   
   To go even further, dye the whole egg a light color, such as pink, and let it dry. Then add the stickers, draw a design, or wrap the egg with a rubber band. Dye the egg again in a second color, such as blue. Once dry, remove/peel the additions. The areas blocked off will remain the first color (pink) while the rest of the egg will turn a combination of the two colors (purple). Of course you can dip part of the egg in one color and another portion in another color. If the two sections overlap, that area will turn a combination of the two colors, so you would have a beautiful pink, blue, and purple egg.
