Instructions
  1. Tie-Dye Easter Eggs - Step 1 Place several hard-boiled eggs in a colander in the kitchen sink and splash them with the vinegar.

  2. Tie-Dye Easter Eggs - Step 2 Drip yellow food coloring on the eggs.

  3. Tie-Dye Easter Eggs - Step 3 Gently agitate the colander for a few seconds to help the color spread. Let the color set on the eggs for 30 seconds.

  4. Tie-Dye Easter Eggs - Step 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 with up to two shades (any more and your colors may get muddy), allowing each to set for 30 seconds.

  5. Tie-Dye Easter Eggs - Step 5 After the last color has set, give the eggs a light rinse with water and let them drain for a minute or two. Air-dry them on paper towels.
