This is a simplification of a wax resist egg. All you need to do is draw on your egg with crayon before dipping it into the dye.What You Need:
Note: If you want to keep your artistic eggs around for a while, it is best to use blown, rather than boiled, eggs. To do this, hold the egg firmly but gently and with a large needle pierce a hole into each end, making one hole larger than the other. Push the needle through both holes to break the yolk inside. Now, blow into the small hole and force the contents out of the large hole into a bowl until the egg is empty. Rinse the egg, dry it and squeeze some white glue on the holes to strengthen the egg. Remember to be extra careful not to break the shells when you are coloring with crayon.
