Mission Easter Table: Step 4
Use eggs to get some geometric shapes on the table. (Don't act like you're surprised; you know my compulsion by now.) Check.
This was an experiment also as I'd never tried this dyeing technique before... I used painter's tape and thin masking tape to put designs on my eggs, and dyed them (only yellow and green to keep within my table color scheme of course) using the Paas Color Cups. Once the eggs were dry I peeled off the tape.
I found the wooden egg cups at the craft store, and painted them white to match the pedestal center piece and ramekin bowls.
The tape bled a bit in spots, but I like the results!! I'm not sure why some of the green eggs ended up with some teal spots on them... maybe there was some cross contamination with the yellow or some chemical reaction with something already on the eggs? Regardless, I'm excited to see how they will look with everything else! Just a few more things to go...
These are such fun, Kate! I rather like the mottled look on the green eggs!
