    • Tie Dye Easter Eggs and Flowers

      Create gorgeous tie dyed Easter eggs and Flowers for beautiful dirt cheap spring decor.

      1 Dozen Hard Boiled Eggs
      White Coffee Filters
      Rubber Bands
      Eye Droppers or Straws
      Homemade Dye in Various Colors
      Newspaper
      Green Pipe Cleaners

      First, Cover your entire working area with newspaper to prevent accidental
      staining.

      Secondly, Prepare the Egg Dyes in various colors (or use a store bought kit, as desired).

      Third, to begin tie-dying your eggs, place 1 egg inside a coffee filter, bring it to a close around the egg and secure it closed using a rubber band.

      Next, Using the eye dropper or the straw by holding the end to pick up one drop of dye at a time, drop your choice of colors on the coffee filtered egg.

      Once the egg is drenched in varying colors, set it aside to dry. Continue decorating until all the eggs are finished.

      Allow to dry for at least 60 minutes.

      Once the filters are dry, remove the rubber band carefully, avoid tearing the coffee filter. Voila, you now have a tie dyed egg!

      If you want to create an additional craft, lay 2-3 dry colored coffee filters on top of one another. Bunch them in the center and tie them off with a rubber band, This will form a flower. You can either insert a green pipe cleaner for a stem or if you'd prefer, leave off the pipe cleaner add a safety pin and you have a corsage to wear!

      GPS is a great idea. Where I am, the weather isn't very friendly to Easter egg hunts. I have heard to many horror stories about people finding eggs months later only once they start to stink.
