Using just two ingredients from your kitchen pantry can enable you to creatively dye eggs to be used for Easter celebrations or for general decorating purposes. Get a supply of dry uncooked white rice, about two tablespoons for every color you intend on using, your choice of liquid food colorings, which can be found in the cake decorating section of your grocery store, and several disposable containers that include attachable lids. It’s best to use disposable containers because the food coloring may transfer to glass or pottery containers, ruining them for future use.
Now put about two tablespoons of the dry rice into the container, add about one tablespoon or several squirts of food coloring, attach the lid and shake for about 20 seconds to properly distribute the coloring throughout the rice.
Now remove the lid, add your whole egg in the shell, reattach the lid and begin to firmly yet gently shake the egg in this mixture. Within a short amount of time, you will have created an egg that features a very creative marbleized color on its outer shell.
Carefully remove the egg and brush away any kernels of rice still sticking to the egg. Allow the newly colored egg to dry completely for several more minutes before using it for decorative purposes or positioning it into your Easter basket.
