Ombre colored egg decorations are a splendid mantel piece or a table centerpiece. If you want to use this idea for edible eggs, use food dye. Use a small jar or a bowl, and fill it with water to about an inch (2 cm). Add some food coloring into the water and stir well. Dip the egg into the water and hold for about a minute. If you think the color is not strong enough –add some more food dye. Once you have dyed the egg partly, add water and dip the egg again and repeat until you have finished painting the whole egg. The third way for an ombre decoration is a variation of the same technique. You can easily dye a dozen egg in the various shades of one and the same color by adding water to get lighter shade for each egg or by changing the time you let them sit in the dye. For the darkest shades allow the egg sit for about 10 minutes and then reduce the time. Hopefully you will find these Easter egg crafts enjoyable and will make fantastic ombre effects!
