Natural Eggs Coloured By Using Crepe Paper

The natural eggs are each wrapped in coloured crepe paper, then in a piece of tulle and dipped in water, causing dying to take place.

Wrap the egg in one or two layers of crepe paper.

Place the wrapped egg onto a piece of tulle and gather this around the egg. Hold it in place with a rubber band or a piece of string.

Moisten the tulle bag (containing the egg) with water and leave to dry.

Remove the tulle and the crepe paper when dry.

Decorate a piece of flax twine with a bead and attach it to the hole in the egg, securing it with a glue gun.

Use Fixative if you want to fix the colours. The process is not recommend for children to carry out and should take place in a well ventilated room or outside.
