Faux Stained Glass Easter Eggs






To make these "Faux Stained Glass Easter Eggs":
  • Start with empty eggs.  Here is a technique I find works well.  
  • Create your dye baths.  After some experimenting I have decided that food coloring creates the most effective dye.
  • Dye your eggs by letting them float in the different dye baths.  Switch them out periodically and let the colors overlap.
  • Dry your eggs.  Here are the directions for a pin-board egg drying rack.
  • Use a fine tip glue applicator to draw lines at the separation of each color.  I also like to use the glue/glitter to cover up the emptying hole on each egg.
  • Sprinkle with a fine glitter and let them dry.
  • Voila! you have colorful sparkly eggs reminiscent of stained glass.
