Easter egg trees! Brilliant! I need to go grab me some stray branches and stray paint, stat!
Oh and egg die, although, I’m pretty sure I’ll just make my own. Like this, or the
easier method below, or… something.
How To
one. Color the eggs.
Wrap rubber bands around raw eggs. Mix 20 drops food coloring, 3 cups water and 2 tablespoons vinegar. Add the eggs and leave for 10 minutes. Push pins into an art board, 1/2-in. apart, to create a grid for drying. Remove eggs and leave to dry.
two. Remove it’s guts.
Lovely visual, I know.
Remove rubber bands. Use a pin to make a hole in the base of an egg, then perforate around it to extend the hole to 1/8-in. wide. Make a hole in the top the same width as the dropper nozzle. Insert the nozzle and squeeze the pump, forcing the egg into a bowl.
three. String it up yo!
Cut 12-in. lengths of 3/16-in.-wide ribbon and knot one end of each. Bend the end of a 6-in. piece of fine wire into a loop, thread ribbon through and feed the wire and ribbon through the egg, using the knot as a stopper. Tie onto painted branches or bamboo.

PS. I’m not super into seasonal decorating. It all seems like a lot of
work for just a little pay off. I’d rather just eat the chocolate.
Am I alone here?
PPS. Happy Wednesday!!!
And now, a little linky party!
