Easter is a great bright holiday. Surely, many people from childhood still have a feeling of something extraordinary, purity and prosperity associated with it. And multi-colored eggs - an indispensable attribute - were perceived not quite as food, but rather as a trifle toy. At all times, giving and exchanging eggs is to wish good and prosperity. There are dozens of ways to make an Easter egg. Many of them are so easy and fun that a child will like it. The result of joint leisure time for a creative activity - a unique souvenir - will delight loved ones, and the child will pass on an Easter mood.

IMPORTANT: only natural dyes and adhesives are used for coloring and decorating boiled chicken eggs. If you need to use glue, paints, then you cannot eat such an egg. In order for it to retain its attractiveness as a souvenir longer and does not deteriorate, it is recommended to use only eggshells. In the egg, you need to pierce two holes (top and bottom) and pour out (blow out) the contents. To prevent the fragile shell from breaking during manipulations over it, it is poured with gypsum, polyurethane foam, or simply covered with cereal. You can also use ready-made wooden, plaster, foam eggs.

Papier-mâché Easter egg

Everyone is familiar with the papier-mâché technique since school labor lessons. With its help, various crafts are created, including decorations for Easter.

You will need:
balloon;
White paper;
colored crepe or corrugated paper;
flour or starch;
ribbon.

Operating procedure:
1. Inflate a small balloon. You can hang it by a string or use a stand for ease of use.
2. All paper must be cut into squares.
3. Make a paste from flour or starch.
4. Dip each square into a paste, glue on a ball, smoothing out the folds. The first layer of crepe paper, then a few of white and the final - again crepe.
5. Let the craft dry.
6. Deflate the balloon and remove it.
7. Draw an oval window and cut it out.
8. Decorate the edges of the window with pieces of paper rolled into balls and soaked in paste.
9. On top, fasten the ribbon tied with a bow.
10. Inside, you can put green corrugated paper cut into strips - it's like grass - and put there a souvenir or chicken made from threads.

Delicate, airy, very sweet and simple to perform

Another great option for a surprise gift: carefully cut the finished shell, put sweets or a souvenir inside. Seal by inserting a thread to open the surprise.

Pull the string - surprise!

Easter souvenirs made of thread

Using a similar technique, you can make an egg from threads. To do this, you will need: a ball, threads, glue and small details for decoration. The threads moistened with glue should be wrapped around the ball, allowed to dry, remove the ball and decorate the finished frame with beads, ribbons, buttons.

Adorable Easter bunnies will decorate the nursery

But this way of decorating with threads is far from the only one. Using foam as a base (it allows you to stick in pins), you can create an egg from threads with a ready-made openwork window.

You will need:
foam egg;
threads;
pins;
glue;
film (so that the threads do not stick to the base);
ribbon and decor.

It is necessary to collect such a craft from two halves - to make the front and back separately, since it will be impossible to pull out the base. The halves are glued together and decorated with a matching ribbon at the joint.

Another interesting thread weaving technique

Crafts from threads - decoration of any corner of the house

Easter egg made of beads

A very popular way to decorate. Such an egg looks very rich, resembling something like a piece of jewelry like the famous Faberge. But making such an Easter egg with your own hands is quite difficult without mastering at least an elementary beadwork technique. Special weaving patterns allow you to paint pictures with beads.

Stunning beaded paintings are almost a work of art

However, there are simple options for making such eggs.

• Option 1. Coat the blank with glue and carefully roll it in beads. By the way, the same method can be used to prepare edible Easter eggs, using protein instead of glue and sprinkling for pastry.

Food dusting as egg decor

• Option 2. If you have a lot of patience, reproduce the drawing by gluing the beads of the desired colors with tweezers. Better to use glue "Moment"

Beads as sprinkles and bead designs

• Option 3. String the beads on a long thin wire, fishing line or thread. Moving in a spiral, glue the strung beads onto the workpiece. If you use beads of different colors, you can get interesting patterns.

Very distinctive colors

• Option 4. Another original and uncomplicated method for which you will need:

Beads;
sequins;
narrow ribbons;
tailor's pins;
actually, the egg is made of foam.

The essence of the work: string a bead on each pin, then a sequin and pin it to the egg. It is more convenient to move in a spiral too, alternating rows of beads and sequins with rows of ribbons.

A lot of pins and hard work, but the result is worth it

Easter eggs with appliques

Appliques do not require much effort and skill, and you can make them from anything, creating an endless number of bright decorative souvenirs. For applications, they use whatever comes to hand: fabric, napkins, colored paper, floss threads, and in addition, pasta, cereals and shells of already colored eggs.

Difficult at first glance work is not so difficult

Impressive stylish result

Extraordinarily beautiful, bright, festive crafts using the quilling technique delight the eye, delight and touch. But you shouldn't be jealous of those who possess this technique - it's better to take paper for quilling, a special tool (at first, an awl, a toothpick, a large needle will do) and try to do paper rolling yourself. All complex patterns in quilling consist of many small standard elements, which are not so difficult to create - a little skill is enough.

Thin strips of paper are rolled up. The rolls are loosened, the tip is fixed with glue. For leaves and petals, the rolls are compressed at the edges. Each detail must be coated with glue in the places of the greatest contact of the curls, and the excess glue must be removed.

The finished parts are dipped in glue and laid out with a pattern on the base.

For such a craft, two simple quilling elements are enough

The result is excellent!

Crafts and decorations for Easter are a great option for family leisure, and ready-made gifts, made by hand, with soul and imagination, are an excellent tribute to Easter traditions and related values. Everyone can try all the charm of creating their own little masterpiece!

With the approaching bright holiday of Easter, people think not only about how to decorate the festive table - home decoration is also of great importance. Try to make artificial eggs for Easter with your own hands - they can be used not only for interior decoration, but also as a pleasant present for family and friends.

Blank for craft

Real eggs are not suitable for DIY Easter crafts - they quickly deteriorate and start to smell bad, so it's best to leave them for the dinner table. Instead, try making a dummy that you can safely decorate without fear of its lifetime.

From the shell

An interesting paradox: to make artificial eggs for Easter with your own hands, you need real ones - give preference to large chicken or duck eggs.

Since eggshells are an excellent material for decorating their natural shape, you will now learn how to peel the insides of them and prepare them for decoration. Rinse all testicles thoroughly beforehand.

• In the centers of the top and bottom points of the testicle, make small marks with a simple pencil. Using a sharp knife or needle, carefully make holes in place of the marks - on the wide side, the hole should be larger than on the narrow one.

• Place a small, deep container under the egg and start blowing into the smaller hole so that the contents begin to flow out of the larger one. Sometimes the substance stops pouring - the film shells inside can interfere. Simply insert the sharp end of the needle deep inside and move it there.

Don't throw away the raw contents - you can cook them!

• Even after blowing, a little film remains inside the shell, which may start to smell bad. To get rid of it, take a thin knitting needle, heat it red hot, push it through a wider hole and gently walk along the walls from the inside.

• Submerge the workpieces in water and press down slightly with your hand so that they are completely filled with water. Sometimes after that, the water pours out on its own, and sometimes it also needs to be blown out - rinse the products 1-2 times to completely clean them of the insides.

• The last step is to dry the eggs for Easter. Just leave them in a dry, ventilated area for about half a day. If you need to speed up the process, put them on a knitting needle with a curved end and heat them over the burner at a short distance from the fire, otherwise it may crack and burn.

Ready-made shells can be decorated in any convenient way - for example, many craftsmen now like the technique of diamond painting.

The original style of performance will surely surprise your friends.

From plaster

Unfortunately, eggshells are quite fragile: they often break, so only professionals can work with them - not to say about joint needlework with children. Hand-made gypsum blanks for Easter will help to correct this situation.

All you need: the same eggshell with a slightly wider opening at the bottom, or any other mold (plastic toys, kinder surprise packages, etc.).

• Dissolve the gypsum with water to a medium-thick sour cream consistency.

• Pour the solution into molds and leave to dry completely - depending on the consistency of the mixture and the type of gypsum, it will take from an hour to a day.

• Peel the blanks from the shell.

• Scrape off the bumps and fill in any excess cracks with plaster, smoothing the surface.

• Prime the gypsum with acrylic paint on top.

Now fake eggs for Easter are ready, and you can decorate them yourself.

Decorating eggs with paper

Artificial eggs for Easter can be made from almost any material in the technique that you like. For example, below is a master class on creating and decorating Easter eggs with your own hands using the papier-mâché technique.

You will need: a solid oval-shaped blank (you can use a plaster of paris, but it is better to take a plastic testicle, consisting of 2 halves), an old newspaper, a special papier-mâché paste (it can be easily replaced with PVA glue).

• Coat the oval blank with hand cream, petroleum jelly or plain water to prevent the paper layer from sticking to it, and then it will be easier to remove.

• Gently stick the first layer of small pieces of newspaper on top.

• The second layer must be added, carefully smearing each piece of paper with paste. Paste the product until it is dense enough.

• Leave the workpieces to dry completely in a well-ventilated place. Remove the dry paper halves from the plastic ones and prime them with white paint.

The secret of this craft is that a cavity is formed inside which you can put a small surprise for the recipient of the gift: a coin, hairpin or candy.

• Connect the halves by gluing them together with paper, while masking the joint.

Leave the work to dry again. The product is ready! The easiest way to decorate it is to cover it with acrylic paints or gouache and fix it with clear varnish.

However, do not stop there - decorate paper Easter eggs with coasters made of the same material with your own hands.

• Cut the pressed cardboard egg holder, on which they are sold in stores, into cups, depending on how many Easter eggs you made from paper.

• On a white A4 sheet, draw or print blanks in the form of parts of the body of animals and cut into pieces.

• Color the parts and cups as you like, then glue the desired parts to the eggs and coasters.

• Place Easter items in the coasters.

Your wonderful Easter crafts are ready! This master class is very simple to perform, so you can attract children to work - they will surely enjoy decorating holiday gifts with their own hands.

How to make eggs from thread

Another idea for how to make eggs for Easter with your own hands is to create beautiful large transparent crafts from threads. They will be a wonderful decoration for your home and festive table.

There are several ways to make Easter eggs from string - just choose the most convenient one and start creating!

On the air balloon

Making decorations for Easter from threads based on a balloon is very easy because the workpiece is then easy to get out of the finished work.

• Inflate the balloon tightly and tie.

• Pour PVA glue into a deep bowl and immerse a skein of multi-colored thread in it.

• Wind the threads randomly around the ball.

• Leave the workpiece hanging until completely dry.

• When the product is dry, pierce the balloon, and gently pull the remains out with tweezers through one of the holes.

Lay Easter eggs made of string next to each other, gather in a wreath or garland.

No matter how you lay the thread crafts with your own hands, they will look very beautiful.

On foam

This option is a little more complicated than the previous one, but it allows you to get beautiful carved holes in the product.

• Buy a ready-made oval foam blank - you can also cut it yourself.

• Wrap the base in plastic and stick sewing pins in a circle, dividing the craft into 2 halves. On one of the halves with the same pins, draw the shape of the future hole (in the master class this is the sun).

• Wrap the pins soaked in glue tightly, leaving the hole free.

• When the workpiece is dry, carefully remove the pins and remove the workpiece - you have the front half of the egg.

Now again outline half of the shape with pins and make the second part of the product in the same way. But already without a hole. When both halves are ready, simply glue them together.

You can put sweets, gifts and toys in these Easter eggs made of threads.

That is, they will be considered a talisman. But real chicken products will not work for this in any way, so leave them on the table along with Easter cakes, and we will make dummies that can be stored, donated, worn to school or kindergarten.

To learn how to make an Easter egg, you need to prepare triangular modules for it. What is needed for this:

1. Take A4 paper and, using a utility knife or scissors, cut 32 rectangles by folding and cutting the halves of this sheet.

2. Now take one of the rectangles and fold it in half.

3. Now fold the length in two and return back to its original position. As you can see, you still have a line

6. After folding, roll up.

7. Fold your structure in half and the module is ready.

You can also take a look at the module diagram.

By the way, grease the pockets of the modules with glue so that the egg is strong.

3. Thus, we collect 1, 2, 3 rows of 8 orange modules, closing the whole chain in a circle.

4. Look what we got.

5. For the next fourth row, take 16 orange ones and put 2 triangles in one module, each with one pocket.

6. The fifth row is done sequentially, alternating green with orange, as if holding them together.

7. So we collect to the end of the row.

8. Make the sixth row 16 green. Connect the corner of the green to the orange.

10. This is the kind of beauty you should get.

11. Connect the eighth row: orange, yellow, green, yellow.

13. Now we do the tenth row: pink, green, yellow, green.

14. Eleventh: 2 green, 2 orange.

15. Twelfth: yellow, orange, green orange.

16. Collect the thirteenth row as follows, 2 yellow, 2 orange.

17. Fourteenth row: blue, yellow, orange, yellow.

18. Connect the fifteenth row: 2 yellow, 2 orange.

19. The sixteenth row must be connected yellow, orange, blue, orange.

20. Blue, 2 orange, blue will be 17 next.

21. The eighteenth row is assembled from red, gray-green, orange and blue again.

22. In the nineteenth row we connect 2 blue, 2 yellow.

23. Twentieth row: blue, yellow, orange, yellow.

24. The next row 21 make connections from 2 yellow and 2 green.

25. Twenty-second row alternating yellow, 3 blue.

27. With orange modules we make the 24th row.

Well, the chicken product has been assembled, now you need to make what to put it on.

Egg stand:

1. In the first and second rows, collect 18 yellows. The third is made from 2 yellow and orange.

3. Now bend and make the 4th row of yellow.

4. Fifth row alternating green and yellow.

5. All yellow will be done next to 6.

6. We begin to collect 3 parts. Two rows of 18 yellow, and 3 - 2 yellow, orange.

7. Fourth row: 2 orange, yellow.

8. The fifth row is the same as the fourth.

9. Now on the contrary, we collect the 6th row from one orange and 2 yellow ones.

10. Collect the cloves: 2 and 1 yellow.

• The wire is thin.

1. First, pour the yolk and white out of the egg.

2. Stir alabaster with water and pour into our egg molds.

To prevent the testicles from falling, they can be temporarily put in bottle caps.

3. As soon as the shape hardens, take the wire, bend it around the thread and wind it in order to make it easier to put on the beads.

4. String on it 2 - 2.5 meters of beads (it all depends on the size of the egg).

Since this glue dries slowly, you can safely straighten the beads with your hand.

6. As the titanium on the shell runs out, we continue to spread and wind it further.

8. We do this to the end.

9. In the middle of the top, you can glue a larger bead.

10. In the same way we make testicles from a different shade of beads, but do not forget to correct the rows with your finger so that there are no gaps.

Well, that's done. I also want you to watch a similar video for better understanding. This method will be a little harder than the first, but still understandable and easy to do. Only harvesting an egg from a tree.

1. Use rubber bands on the egg to mark the areas to which we glue the beads.

Most importantly, when applying PVA, don't go beyond the rubber bands.

3. Thus we decorate the whole egg.

As you know, the best gift is considered one that is made by hand. Therefore, I would like to consider another way to craft.

We need:

• PVA glue;
• Threads of different colors;

1. We dilute PVA a little with water and release the threads into it so that they are well saturated.

2. We begin to tie them around an inflatable ball, winding on it in different positions.

3. Dip it again in glue and hang to dry for 10 - 12 hours.

4. As time passes, we pierce the ball with a needle and take it out.

Now you can make a small hole, and put some other souvenir inside, but this is at your discretion.

Making an Easter egg from pasta and a balloon

Items found in your home may look original. The most important thing is that a person would have a good imagination and then an interesting craft from pasta will turn out.

We need:

• PVA glue;
• Pasta;
• Ball;
• Thermal glue.

1. Draw a circle or oval on an inflatable ball with a pen.

2. Pour glue into a plate and pour pasta into it, mix well.

The most important thing is not to interfere for a long time, otherwise they will become limp and it will be difficult to work with the products.

4. Let the product dry and deflate the ball. Remove the remnants of the glue from the walls with tweezers and a cloth.

5. Now with thermal glue we glue the 2nd row of pasta or any decorative items with the pattern you want. Also let it dry.

6. We paint from a spray can in any color.

7. Make a stand of 2 inverted Chinese noodle cups glued together. We also glue pasta to it.

Easter egg master class using quilling technique

Quilling is the process of creating beautiful things with your own hands from paper ribbons. This handicraft is considered the most popular activity, so I want to show you how to make an egg craft using this technique.

We will need:

• Brush;
• Scissors;
• Colored paper for quilling 3 or 5 mm .;
• Egg or a form for it;
• Thick PVA glue;
• Tool for curling paper (rod from the handle);
• Egg holder (plastic bottle cap).

1. If there is no form, you can take a boiled egg.

2. In the center of the form, wrap a strip of colored paper, remembering to glue it.

3. Take a strip and apply a little glue to the beginning. This is done so that the hole in the middle is even and not oval.

4. Twist the strip, but only evenly. If it suddenly becomes uneven, then we turn it over again. We remove carefully from the rod.

5. All rounds must be the same size. This is easy to do. We release every detail and equate it with others. We also glue the end.

6. You need to wait until the glue dries and press down a little, that is, give the shape of an eye.

7. We glue them on the rim, which is already on the form. Apply glue to the peephole and to the base. We attach all the round pieces in a circle.

8. While letting the product dry, we make blanks from a different color, in our case pink. We make it in the form of a droplet, that is, we press the circle on one side. We glue them through one peephole.

9. Yellow eyes as well as green ones. We put it in the third row, between the pink droplets.

10. In the fourth row, I glue orange rounds.

By the way, in order not to wait a long time for our workpieces to dry, you can fix them with a thread.

12. Leave to dry and proceed to the second half. To do this, mark the ends of the eyes on our form with a marker or felt-tip pen, so that it is easy to dock the second half.

13. That's all, remove the glued half from the egg.

14. Turn the egg over with the other side and try to glue the ends of the peak of the following blanks to the points indicated with a felt-tip pen. You can glue it in the same pattern or arbitrary, which we will do.

16. Now we assemble the stand using round timber, gluing them together.

17. We put the testicle on the stand.

Well, that's all, I think you understand how to make crafts for Easter. What is not clear write in the comments, I will answer. Happy holiday to you friends!

Bright Easter - the Resurrection of Christ, the time of sweet cakes and colored eggs. It is believed that a donated Easter egg has the power of a talisman and protects its owners from evil deeds and thoughts, both their own and those of others. The Easter egg amulet was often made of wood. Those who were richer could afford malachite, turquoise or jasper. Well, the kings glorified Faberge eggs by ordering these precious masterpieces of jewelry art for themselves and their family members.

Few people dare to take a shot at the work of the great master, there are enough craftsmen, but it is too expensive. Therefore, we take the most affordable materials and create an equally exclusive gift - do-it-yourself Easter eggs.

Here are master classes on how to make eggs for Easter with your own hands with step-by-step photographs in a variety of techniques. Follow our instructions to create your own unique gifts and inimitable souvenirs for Easter.

How to make eggs for Easter

What to give for Easter? Of course, the egg! But not simple, but magical red gold.

We will need:

• Newspaper or magazine
• A couple of relevant pictures
• Threads
• PVA glue
• Napkins or soft paper towel
• Lentils
• Millet
• Gouache red
• Gold color paint
• Sequins, rhinestones, beads
• Glue type "Monolith"

Tools:

• Brushes
• Pencil
• Felt-tip pen in the color of the main tone
• Scissors
• Skewer

Let's get started:
1. Crumple the newspaper sheet and give it the shape of an egg. We fix the workpiece with threads.

2. We coat the blank with PVA and glue it with pieces of a magazine page. We glue the pictures. Let the paper dry dry.

3. We tear the napkin and repeat the process of forming a paper crust. Torn edges are less noticeable, smooth them with a brush, abundantly moistened with glue. Dry again.

4. On a dry workpiece, make a sketch of the ornament, first with a pencil, then outline it with a felt-tip pen.

5. From a napkin cut into strips we "strand" paper strings. It is not scary if the paper breaks during the twisting of the flagella, our ornament does not contain long curls and waves along the entire circumference.

6. We glue the workpiece with cereals and prepared flagella. A skewer is an indispensable tool for a brush. We do not regret PVA glue, the cereals should be very thickly smeared, the excess will be absorbed into the paper by itself. And again we send the product to dry.

7. We paint an egg for Easter in the main tone, we have it one of the shades of red, a color symbolizing health and wealth. We work with a brush, painting thoroughly under each grain and curl. Now the expediency of using a red felt-tip pen is fully justified, there are no white clicks.

Although in the paper art technique, which translates as paper plastic, it is customary to use dark or even black colors, in my opinion, this is unacceptable for Easter eggs.

8. Cover the dried gouache with varnish and select all the bulges with gold. Everyone chooses the intensity of gilding.

9. We glue decorative elements. The main thing here is not to overdo it, otherwise the Easter egg will turn into a Christmas tree decoration.

If you still don't have enough time for souvenirs made with your own hands, go to the store for chicken eggs.

A consecrated egg, dyed with pigments contained, for example, in onion skins, can be safely stored until next Easter. Proven by personal experience, stood on a shelf in a glass, did not deteriorate, only dried up and became the size of a quail.

Such a jute design with decorative ribbons looks very beautiful and natural. Having wrapped such eggs in gift wrapping, you can safely present them to all your friends, family and friends. Such a gift will stay with them for a long time and will decorate the Easter table every year.

To make such a souvenir you will need:

• Foam base in the form of an egg.
• Jute twine.
• Glue gun.
• Decor elements (decorative tape).

The end of the twine is attached with hot melt glue in the middle of the lower part of the workpiece.

You need to wait until the glue takes up well and begin to glue the cord in a spiral around this starting point.

It is not necessary to apply glue to the entire surface of the egg. You can use no more than two to three points of glue in one turn.

Thus, you need to wrap the entire Easter egg with twine.

Then you can start decorating. To do this, take three pieces of decorative tape.

Wrap the egg with one and fix with hot glue the joint of the tape and on the opposite side.

Glue the ends of the shorter segment on top of each other - this is the basis for the bow. Put the shortest one on the table with the wrong side up and glue its edges inside. It turns out the core.

With this strip, wrap the middle of the bow and glue the back.

Attach the bow to the egg in front.

The decorative Easter egg is ready.

You can make such an original overlay for an egg with your own hands from felt.

Knitted easter egg

In this tutorial, I suggest crocheting an egg. Such a product will be an excellent souvenir for this bright holiday.

For knitting you will need:

• Yarn "Children's novelty" in blue, pink and green;
• Hook 1.75mm;
• Scissors;
• Needle;
• Sintepon.

You can knit such an egg from any yarn. But it is not advisable to use too thin. Then the finished product will be too small.

Let's start with 2 VP. Then we will knit 8 sc in 2 loop from the hook. Then we knit 3 sc, and in 4 loop 2 sc in a row. Then again 3 sc and again 2 sc in a loop.

We knit a new row. We will also add in it. We knit 4 sbn 1 in a loop. And in the 5th loop we will tie 2 sbn. So we will repeat until the end of this series.

We now have 12 loops for a part. We continue to add. Now we will tie 2 sbn 1 in a loop. In the 3 loop of the row, we immediately perform 2 sbn So we repeat the whole row.

In the next row, first we will knit 3 sbn, and in 4 loop we will knit 2 sbn. And so we knit the whole row.

We have 20 loops. In the next row, we will simply knit 1 sbn in each of the loops. That is, at the end of the row there should still be 20 loops.

In the new row, we continue to add. We knit 4 sc, then 2 sc in 1 loop. So we repeat the whole row.

There is no need to make any increments in the next row. Just perform 1 sc in each loop.

In the new row, we continue to make subtractions. Now you need to knit 9 sbn, and knit 10 and 11 loops together. So we knit the whole row.

We finish knitting. Therefore, we knit 1 sbn, then 2 loops together. Then again 1 column and 2 loops together. So we knit the whole row.

At this stage, we fill the part with padding polyester.

Then, to close the part, knit 2 loops together the entire row until the hole closes. We do 1 VP. Cut the thread and tighten it. We hide the tail inside the egg.

The Easter egg is ready. Let's connect decorative elements.

Take a green thread for the leaf. We need to cast on 7 loops. We knit 1 ss, then 1 ss, 1 pssn, 2 ssn. We knit everything in a separate loop. In the last loop we will knit more pssn. You need to knit 3 such parts.

Take a pink thread for the flower. We make a sliding loop. We make 3 VP, then we knit 2 PRS. Again 3 VP and 1 ss inside the loop.

So repeat 4 more times to form 5 petals.

We tighten the sliding loop.

Sew the leaves to the bottom of the egg.

Sew the flower in the center, slightly going into the middle leaf.

Here is such an Easter egg! You can knit many of these items and decorate them in different ways.

After an hour has passed, add the eggs and add a large pinch of salt, as well as a teaspoon of vinegar. This will help keep them from cracking, and the vinegar will brighten them up. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

Extinguish the stove and wait until the water cools down without removing the eggs. As soon as the water has cooled, the pot with the contents is placed in the refrigerator and left overnight. Take out in the morning. The eggs will acquire a bright and very rich color and will be the most beautiful at the holiday.

Painting with coffee

Would need:

• Eggs;
• Vinegar and salt;
• Brewed coffee.

Pour three large spoons of coffee into the bottom of the pot. Boil for twenty minutes. Pour in vinegar and salt. Then use a spoon to put the eggs in the pan. Cook for up to 20 minutes.
