Yes, the hard boiled eggs can be eaten after dying with the kits. Even if the dye gets past the shell and to the egg itself you can still eat it. We would have so many eggs mom would always make an egg salad.
Me and my 2 siblings had so much eggs becouse we had to serch ad every neighbors house! So we had ad least 30 eggs 😁 so the next weeks we had any kind of dish with hardboiled eggs. Ones I ate half of my eggs I found on the way 😁 love eggs and nooo I didnt get sik!
Decorating eggs is a Slavic tradition! The eggs are called Pysanky, or Pisanki in Ukraine and in Poland. It's a beautiful tradition. And yes, the eggs are edible and are eaten during the Easter Breakfast ❤
We dyed eggs when I was growing up- I absolutely loved it!!! We just used the Paas dye kits that use the color tablets in vinegar and water. You can buy the Paas dye cups or just use plastic solo cups. You submerge the boiled eggs in the liquid and depending on how long you leave it adjusts the vibrancy of the color. There’s a little wire tool you can use to only submerge part of the egg so you can have multiple colors. You can also use a white or clear crayon to draw designs and the dye won’t color that part! Also- we always ate ALL the eggs! Even after hiding them multiple times during the day 😬obviously we weren’t too concerned with food safety as kids 🤣. Sometimes the colors would seep through and stain the white part of the egg, but it’s definitely still edible! (From Alabama, USA)
My mom STILL has these eggs (don't worry, it's just the shells. We would blow the eggs out through a small hole) I made when I was a kid. They're mosaiced/mod-podged with pieces of thin tissue paper and they turned out so gorgeous. 20 years later and she's still got them.
We would do the same thing with my grandma! She also taught us how to draw on the eggs with white crayon to make patterns like resist dyeing, too. We don't have any of the eggs anymore, but they really will last a super long time if done right. What great memories to have!
I have some that used to be hard boiled. They are mostly decorated with uni markers (like poscas) and the inside just dries up. Unless the egg is cracked (in which case you have a stink bomb) it’s fine!
the 'let the fun begin' probably refers to the egg search that follows decorating the eggs (that are absolutely edible). They get hidden by the easter bunny, and then once found, are usually part of breakfast :) My family usually used the dip-dye process, which was fun bc then you can use white wax to mark where you didn't want colour! Leading to some very interesting designs. and yea, the mess is part of the experience lol
Hey Jackie! Ameri-grain here. I do egg decorating every year, and have since I was a kid (almost 26 now, but still a kid in my soul)! I will let you know that yes the dyed eggs are edible! I use mine every year for deviled eggs. The prices on these kits though kinda blew me away, I can go to my local walmart and get all of these kits (except the first one) For $2.98 US!!! I think you might've been ripped off. Fun video though! Loved it like always!!!
When I was a kid the kits we had only came with fizzy tablet dyes in a variety of colors, a wire egg dipper, and a wax stick to draw designs. Things have changed since the 90s.
My family always dip-dyed eggs in a food coloring and vinegar solution. Sometimes we used white crayon as a resist. It was very fun, and the vinegar never really affected the flavor of the eggs
That's what I remember using here!! US, South Louisiana. The other kits like this we tried never worked well and we always went back with Paas the the following year
"doesn't warrant a $20 kit.". Agreed. Good thing a Paas dye kit is only $3-5 at a U.S. grocery store. But you're right, any food color + vinegar will do it. Mccormick food dye has instructions for egg dyeing on the box.
I was shocked when I saw $100 for 4 kits! They even sell them at the dollar stores!! Max price is maybe $5/kit at any store. Where did she find these waaay OVERPRICED kits??
Egg decorating for Easter was always a huge deal at our house. My grandmother was from the Ukraine and she taught me how to make pysanka eggs. Basically you draw with wax then dye your egg, then draw some more and then dye again and when you are all done you remove the wax revealing the layers of art underneath. I recommend trying it sometime.
I live in rural Maine and grew up near some families of Ukrainian refugees from previous delusional tyrants, and the ladies made beautiful eggs each year, such artistry, lovely memories.
I have to say I've been coloring eggs for the 26 years of my life and Jackie absolutely blew my mind with how she swatched the colors! I've always just did a cup for each tablet and waited for it to dissolve to find out which color is which 😂
I feel like 25 years ago they used to have letters pressed into the tablets but then again also thought the color tablets where individually put in their pouchchain
In the US I've grown up decorating eggs but it was usually with the PAAS egg kits since they're not too expensive and can be gotten for $1 most places here. Also the perforated circles on the back of the package are meant to be a holder for the eggs for them to dry
I'm wondering where she bought them for more than $3. She got ripped off big time lmao NOOOO ONE would buy an egg dye kit for $25. All of those should have equalled $10 tops.
@@kiddivy Canada man, they’re way more expensive than down here. Especially if the company you’re buying from doesn’t sell directly to Canada and you have to have it shipped… a chunk of that price is probably shipping
"It doesn't warrant a $20 kit" lol yup - all these would be worth your cash if they were the actual price you can find them for ($3 or less) in the US lol. The kits are cheaper than buying the individual supplies if you're not doing a huge party or something (or already have food coloring on hand)
Hello Jackie! To answer your question; I am from Poland and we have a tradition of painting eggs! It's very popular, we even take them in a basket to church for a consecration! We paint them with regular paints, red onion juice (like you mentioned), but there are also special dye packets available in stores - you put an egg in hot water, add dye and after a few minutes the egg is a certain color. Sometimes we also scrape the shell of the egg with a knife and create patterns this way. I recommend you check it out! PS At the end we eat them all :3 I love your videos, thank you for always making me smile!
I spent many years growing up decorating eggs...my favorite ones were where we'd poke holes on both sides, scramble the eggs and then blow the inside out, and rinse them out. Sometimes we'd carefully take a circle off to clean them out and then glue the parts back on and take beads to decorate them. Unfortunately, we lost those when my grandma passed away, but they were adorable little decorations.
‼️dude I took the egg hunting competitions as a kid so seriously. I had this strategy where I would run past all the first eggs because that's the eggs the kids are going to be collecting and seeing first and stopping to grab and fighting over. So I would just fly past all of those ones to the middle of the field and start collecting there and I would always end up with wayy more eggs than any other kid. Because it would always take the other kids a while to reach me and by the time they did I took all the eggs from that whole area already. To everyone doing an egg hunt this year take my wisdom and become a champion egg hunter yourself. I WANT TO BE THE VERY BEST THE BEST THAT EVER WASSSS
Thanks for the too we're actually doing this at my school even if i'm in 5th grade people think it ain't fun but it is cause we end up getting candy/chocolate so it is fun
The circle cutouts in the little PAAS ones are to hold the eggs while they dry or like a stand for them! Also you can eat the dyed eggs even if it goes past the shell it’s food safe :^) I used to just dip dye my eggs with a little wire in a kit with those tablets. It was tons of fun. And sometimes there’s even little costumes you can get for the eggs those come in fun kits too.
And it is TOTALLY more worth it to hit up stores Monday AFTER EASTER, to get them at HUGE discounts, too. I may or may not STILL have a few dozen of the most basic ones waiting for a project with the kids that I bought a few years ago for...$0.25 each? Def not more than that, lol, the week after Easter that year. And of course, after I bought THOSE? My kids decided they were too big to dye eggs anymore...I might go hunt more of the fun ones this year after Easter, though, for coloring paper experiments with the kids this summer.
I’m from Finland and we’d paint empty eggs and place them as decorations. Some would be hung on fresh branches (that would be sprouting tiny leaves in vases, it’s snowy at easter) as decorations.
Same in France. We also eat a lot of hard boiled eggs and chocolate eggs. The only thing that I think differs in various countries is the fact the eggs are brought to our gardens by bells (and so, at Easter, when the bells of churches ring, they bring the eggs to the gardens for kids to find).
No clue about Anglo-Aussies, but my family (Croatian grandparents) always does the onion thing too! Baka sticks a parsley leaf on the eggs and puts them in a stocking, so they have leaf patterns 😁
These are some of the most intricate egg dying kits I’ve ever seen 😂 I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $5 and it’s basically just for the tabs of dye and the little dipper things. Maybe a paint brush. You can use a white crayon to draw designs before dying them and the dye won’t stick there
Florida, USA. Paas is an ICONIC brand that everyone pretty much uses to color eggs for Easter. When I got a little older, they had like a wrap plastic with designs on it. The circles that you can push out are where you put the eggs to dry after dying.
The circles on the back of the box: You use them to dry the eggs after they have been dipped in dye. You if you look close, there is a hole in the center of the circles that pop out. You can punch out the center, put a toothpick in it and spin it like a top. When I was young, like a LONG time ago, they actually printed those circles so they would look cool when you spun them (if you are 5). Also those kits are usually less then $5 at the grocery store. Still expensive, but way less then you paid, except the one with a motor, all bets are off on that one.
Greetings from Denmark! And yes we decorate both fake and real eggs! We also have other Easter traditions, such as gækkebreve- you send someone a letter that you've (clipped?) With a scissor so it has a pattern. You then write a rhyme ending with dots for each letter in your name. The person you sent the letter then has to try and guess who sent it by the number of dots and if they guess right you owe them a chocolate egg and if they guessed wrong they owe you one.
Mexican grain here. Yes, my family does celebrate Easter. Each year we paint on some egg shells and fill them up with confetti and a piece of candy. We have an egg hunt at my grandma’s house and after we find all of them we break them on each other’s head. We usually hide a bill 500 pesos bill (around 25 dollars) in one on the eggs and my little brothers go nuts trying to find them.
I'm from Germany and colored eggs are quite a thing here! As a small grain, I always colored both boiled eggs to eat on Easter and blown out eggs to make decorations. I remember having a coloring "machine" - pretty much a contraption to hold the egg in place on the tips and a crank to turn it by hand while coloring it. A bit fidgety, but it worked quite well.
hi jackie! the circles on the back of the box can be used to be cut out and used as an egg holder when the item is drying, or even if you just want to hold it when your done, or working on it.
We colour eggs here in Austria too! I especially remember tying flowers and leaves around the eggs before dying them which leaves the part under the plant without colour as a sort of stamp! I loved that as a child.
I remember eating blue/green/pink hard boiled eggs in the 80s. You should be fine to eat them 😄 I've never seen them package fake eggs into the dye kit though. 😧
In Czech republic we call decorated egg shells "kraslice" and use various techniques - batik dye method, encasing in knotted wire, brushing with wax and scratching the surface to create designs, madeira (drilled pattern), decorating with straw, ... We also color hard boiled eggs, often with natural dye like onion peels and use leafs or flowers for patterns.
This sounds so much better to me than how we generally do this in America (shown in part here in these weirdly elaborate egg decoration kits). Like I think I really like how you all do it in the Czech Republic based on what you said here!!!
I've seen some of these decorating techniques and they produce beautiful eggs. My problem is that I wouldn't want to break the eggshell to eat the egg because they are so pretty! Lol! That's why the North American ones are easier to eat. 😁🤣
@@lokicooper4690 Haha right??? I think the only time you shouldn’t eat a decorated hard boiled egg is if it’s either covered in glitter & glue or it’s decorated with food safe coloring/dyes BUT it’s been sitting out in the sun in warmer climates for egg hunts, as that can spoil it quicker than anything
@@lokicooper4690 Well, most of the "kraslice" are made of egg shells only, so they can last really long. We inherited some from grandma and these are 25+ years. Those hard boiled edible decorated eggs are usually simpler in design, so you are not that sorry when you break them. The only problem with kraslice is that you need to go on a baking spree:-) But we bake "beránek" (sponge cake in the shape of lamb), "mazanec" and "jidáše" (sweet buns) so we need a lot of eggs.
Here in Germany painting eggs for Easter is a huge thing. In the rural parts there are still competitions for the most beautiful decorated wells, mostly done with eggs, flowers, ribbons and so on.
the vinegar part and the little tablets just brought me ALL the way back to my childhood holy carp- the week before Easter was always scented with vinegar *everywhere* but it meant we got pretty eggs in the end so we didn't mind btw the circle cutouts are to hold the eggs when they're drying/done!!!
Watching your videos not in a hospital bed but at home is special already. However adding to the fact that you are an inspiration for me to move beyond the sickness and achieve my dreams is awesome. Thank you for posting
The circle punch outs are meant to set your eggs onto to dry. If you don't break down the box, it will stand up and be an egg holder 🥰🥰 standard us egg kits 👍we got you girl xoxoxoxo 💜💜💜
Yes to the egg decorating. We always did that as children. And my mother has blown out egg shells that are paintet by artists. Beautiful... She always decorates for easter. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I'm from Chicago, Illinois in the USA. My sister and I would wait for our Mom to boil the eggs so we could dye them. Was so much fun, and yes, we would eat the hard-boiled eggs the day after Easter was over. We also made sure to keep them in the fridge until then. The circles on the boxes are to ret the eggs to dry.
I have meringue powder laying around in my baking cabinet I used it for one recipe and I had a lot left and now I didn’t really have a use for it but this is perfect I’ll definitely have to try it out this Easter ☺️
In Switzerland we're decorating eggs and there is a game called "Eiertütschi" (kinda transeltes to egg crashing) and the goal is to crack the opponets egg on both sides without getting your egg damged. Sounds weird, but its really fun to play^^
I'm from the UK and "blowing" an egg (carefully piercing both ends of the egg with a sharp pin and blowing out the contents into a cup until blue in the face) and then carefully painting the shell was a thing. There were many broken eggs from either cracking when piercing or shattering whilst painting and displaying even when using egg cups to hold them whilst decorating since any light pressure would push them off the egg cup and the shells themselves are extremely delicate.
From Malta here! Love your vids!! We never decorated eggs, instead, we decorate Figolli, they are a traditional easter pastry - essentially a giant cookie in the shape of smt easter themed eg lamb, filled with a filling of almond paste and covered either with chocolate or royal ising. very delicious! Thank you for your vids!!
I think the line “let the fun begins” refers to looking for the hidden eggs. You leave the eggs out the night before Easter and the Easter bunny comes and hides them. 🙂
Yeah except if you have pets they sometimes rehide them. My cats can't be the only ones who do this. Aka they play with it when we're asleep and we find them like under the couch. Even more fun when the Easter bunny hides one to well and it melts....worst one we had was on top of a picture frame it slid down the back leaving a melted mess. The picture was fine.
@@keturahmagee6413 one of my fondest childhood memories is of my childhood dog Cheyenne eating an Easter egg in the backyard. I hunted down all the dyed eggs but we couldn't find the last one, and my mom recalls hearing crunching. Then, we looked to see her snacking on a blue hard boiled egg.
The smell of vinegar always reminds me of Easter! My childhood (in the 80s) Paas egg kit with the tablets but we’d fill a mug with the vinegar and add the tablet then dunk the eggs with the wire spoon it always came with…seems a lot easier than this way.
I love the Paas kits! The original is best where you get a white crayon to draw designs before you dip the eggs in the dyes. The circles on the back are like a drying rack for your eggs! And after they're dry, the side of the box can be cut and fit into a circle as an egg stand!
I decorated eggs with my neighbor’s grandchildren a few years ago, we used shaving cream and the eggs were kinda pretty but they tasted of soap. The egg white method would be better plus you could add sugar and messy fingers might just taste yummy. In addition, we always decorated eggs for Easter when I was a kid. You never forget that vinaigrette smell!🥚🥚🥚
Hi Jackie! You're supposed to punch out the circles and then stand the eggs up inside the holes in the box. That's what we used to do after coloring our eggs with the "Paas" food coloring kits when I was just a little grain...many, many years ago!
Oklahoma America. I grew up dying eggs every year. We did the basic kit. Around the dining room table with boiled eggs, vinegar color tabs in cups, clear crayons and this little wire dipper stand thing lol. The holes on the back of the box are for putting your eggs there while they dry. Keeps the mess on the cardboard instead of your table. Some of my fondest memories :)
I love how Jackie puts products in the trash for using non-environmentally friendly glitter. It’s a really nice to see influencers focusing on sustainability.
Loved decorating eggs and filling them with confetti to crack on eachother heads for easter. What became a thing in my family is we will even fill the eggs with flour overall a very fun experience.
vinegar water and dye kits are a standard and we usually use mugs when dying. we even have these cool wire things made to hold the egg and drop it into the mug to dye in a few seconds. The holes on the box are for holding your eggs while they dry!
As a kiddo I remember my mom would help us dye our eggs one or two colors using about 18 coffee mugs... then overnight they would *magically* have transformed to beautiful multicolor, speckled, etc eggs.... the easter bunny that came to our house had a lot of OIL tricks up his sleeves lol... but I remember being amazed every time, and will definitely carry on the tradition!
Man I remember when they were just the color tabs and the clear crayon. I loved dying eggs as a kid, so this year I bought myself wooden ones to paint!
Are you kidding me?! I just finished decorating (plastic) eggs for the easter hunt in our neighbourhood 🤣😂 Lots of love from the Netherlands! You rock, Jackie!
I'm from Lithuania and we do dye our boiled eggs. We use special egg paints to paint them in different colours. There's also wax painting, silk painting and we also use red onion peels. And I think those round cut outs in the boxes are so you can place the eggs to dry.
so fun watching you color eggs.we always tried to put the eggs in the holes on the box to dry after dyeing them.they usually roll away lol made some cute bug eggs last year with sticky craft foam
I am Latvian and we even collect onion shells for egg coloring. It is part of our tradition. Latvian wrap eggs together with onion shells, some leafs, flowers and everything what we can find in forest. After boiling there is really interesting draws on egg shell.
Jackie this was such a fun video. Coloring eggs was my mom's favorite holiday thing. She passed March 1st. I'm glad you enjoyed it even though the kits weren't great.
The circle cutouts are so you can rest your eggs while waiting for them to dry, while you work on the next one, etc. Each kit is usually meant to do a dozen eggs.
This is so cute, as someone who grew up dying eggs. So did most of these, It was great to watch you figure it out. My little one says " why does the Easter bunny need eggs anyway, he eats grass" 🤣🤣🤣
I'm from the UK and the only traditions I remember my family having is egg hunting for plastic eggs in the garden, then taking hard boiled eggs and rolling them down a small hill outside my nan's house (it was kind of like a race to see who's egg got to the bottom first).
We used to decorate eggs, but not like this- we had a contest each year in primary school. It was more like a diorama contest with really a lot of really bad egg jokes :P
Love coloring eggs!! I have a whole box dedicated to giving them faces, accessories, and a bunch of egg holder tools for dying, including a lil bunny whisk, from Acadia maine
In Romania , where I live, we have a lott of fun painting and customising eggs . It's like a tradition in my family . We like to add lots of nice traditional flower pattern designes and patterns (: the most common colour of eggs are red , representing blood ❤️(:
In Croatia we would use flowers and leafs, put it on the eggs and then wrap up the egg in the cut up parts of see-through stockings. And we would boil the eggs just like you said, in onion shells. And the egg would be brown, and lighter in shape of flower you put on the egg. It's pretty, kinda traditional and cheap method, but this year I'm trying the egg whites and food coloring method, and I actually can't wait to do it 😊
Jackie breathing on the sticker to remove it softly is the most hilariously ridicules thing I’ve ever seen 😂 This is why I love you 🤣 And also, eggs be painted in Swedish grains houses too. It’s the law.
I’m from Ireland and personally, I have no experiences with coloring eggs since the Easter eggs I had growing up were hollow chocolate eggs and were super delicious. 😂❤️😊
The perforated circles on the box: Punch out the circles, use the opening as an egg holder to allow the eggs to dry after dying. The punched out remaining circles will have an indent in the middle, you put a toothpick through that indent and can then make a flying toy. To use, simply spin the toothpick between your palms and heave into the air at the same time, like a spinner. (never worked for us though lol )
French grain here, I've never painted nor decorated eggs before but we did the hunt in my parent's garden. I still cherish the childhood memories of finding rainbow chocolate eggs in the snow. Fun times
Growing up in the U.S. egg decorating was all ways a fun activity we would to at grandmas house. All the grandkids get together and we would use something similar with cups of colored dye and a white crayon you could draw on the egg first then dip it in or let it soak in any of the colors and where the crayon was it wouldn't dye that area. we all ways had so much fun. also I'm fairly sure those circles on the back on the box is so you can use it as a sort of stand/drying rack for finished eggs.
I've never really thought about dying eggs being food safe I realized lol. It's just such a common thing here. But since you are dying and glittering the shell and not the egg itself I would think it should be fine? No? Also wouldn't you throw the shell in the trash, not down the drain with glitter, or is that a no no too?
Egg shells are semipermeable, so dye, chemicals, whatever can pass through the shell to the egg inside. So definitely only use food safe products if planning to eat the eggs.
I've never decorated an egg either but they do it a lot at nurseries here in the UK. I'm allergic to them and always wondered if I'm missing out but never thought of using a wooden one as when I was at nursery they just hard boiled an egg and I got told to sit in the corner and draw a bunny 🤣
I am from Poland and I remember decorating eggs with my grandma when I was little. We did patterns with warm wax and a needle tool, and we dyed them with food dye afterwards, then we scratched off the wax, so the pattern had the egg-white colour that was underneath. It was a lot of fun!
I am from Poland and we have different types of traditional ways of decorating eggs. Depending on the type of decorations, decorated eggs have different names. As a child, I was using simple paints which can be found in each supermarket before Easter, and paint by only one color each egg. Vinegar was useful to set the color.
As a German grain, I can confirm that colored eggs are quite a thing here. Coloring eggs with onions is my favorite! I think it makes the eggs taste better and you can do pretty patterns by putting a leave on the egg, wrapping it in a nylon sock and then cooking it with the red onion peel.
For the tie dye, you can actually do it with a regular egg dye kit with scraps of paper towels! it turns out WAY cuter. Also, if you just dip eggs in dye, you can use a white crayon and draw on the egg, then the dye repels away from what you drew (though it looks like someone else mentioned that too) I used to dye eggs at my grandma's house every year growing up! :)
Yeah we always colored eggs just using cups of warm water with differing food colors mixed in them. Dip the eggs in to color, longer the dip, the bolder the color, dip in extra colors to mix and have fun. Also colored eggs by taking a bowl, an egg, putting drops of food coloring in it then carefully rolling the egg around in the bowl. That also made a nice tie-dye effect. After Easter, it was tradition to take the colored eggs and make an egg salad with them as all the egg whites absorbed some of the colors, so we had a rainbow egg salad.
We decorated eggs when I was a kid. We made egg salad or deviled eggs. So delish! My parents stopped decorating and hiding eggs once I was around 10 or 12 I think. Wasn't until I got older (late teens, early twenties) my friends and I would decorate for the fun of it. Side note: Just bought my figet Kit last night. Can't wait to get my salt shaker!
ONLY 2 weeks left to get my Salt Shaker Plush+ the Fidget Kit: shopnerdecrafter.com/
Hi
I can’t get one but I will ask We love you Jackie
aww I rlly want oneee:'(
Hiiiii
Jackie can you please please make it 3 weeks please 🙏
Hey Jackie! The circles on the back of the boxes are supposed to be removed so they can be used as egg holders! I'm loving the video btw
THIS ⬆️
Yes
barbara sure does know her stuff
yep thats exactly why
Yep this is the answer. They're egg holders
Yes, the hard boiled eggs can be eaten after dying with the kits. Even if the dye gets past the shell and to the egg itself you can still eat it. We would have so many eggs mom would always make an egg salad.
I like to slightly crack the eggs so some of the dye gets in and you get a cool looking marbling effect.
We never used markers. Just regular food dye. But how can foam be "food safe"?
Me and my 2 siblings had so much eggs becouse we had to serch ad every neighbors house! So we had ad least 30 eggs 😁 so the next weeks we had any kind of dish with hardboiled eggs. Ones I ate half of my eggs I found on the way 😁 love eggs and nooo I didnt get sik!
ikr and nerdecrafter always makes my day when I have had a long day
@@doninis1354 you hunted for actual eggs…?
Jackie. The holes in the boxes are for placing the eggs to dry after you've dyed them. Just wanted to letcha know.
Yep to all you said.
Was gonna say same thing
Yep sure is
I just scrolled down to comment that too hahaha!!
Yeah but why would you need to dry eggs that are just wrapped in foil
Decorating eggs is a Slavic tradition! The eggs are called Pysanky, or Pisanki in Ukraine and in Poland. It's a beautiful tradition.
And yes, the eggs are edible and are eaten during the Easter Breakfast ❤
We dyed eggs when I was growing up- I absolutely loved it!!! We just used the Paas dye kits that use the color tablets in vinegar and water. You can buy the Paas dye cups or just use plastic solo cups. You submerge the boiled eggs in the liquid and depending on how long you leave it adjusts the vibrancy of the color. There’s a little wire tool you can use to only submerge part of the egg so you can have multiple colors. You can also use a white or clear crayon to draw designs and the dye won’t color that part!
Also- we always ate ALL the eggs! Even after hiding them multiple times during the day 😬obviously we weren’t too concerned with food safety as kids 🤣.
Sometimes the colors would seep through and stain the white part of the egg, but it’s definitely still edible!

Same the whole cloth worried me
My mom STILL has these eggs (don't worry, it's just the shells. We would blow the eggs out through a small hole) I made when I was a kid. They're mosaiced/mod-podged with pieces of thin tissue paper and they turned out so gorgeous. 20 years later and she's still got them.
Wow! That’s a long time. I bet those eggs turned out awesome!
We would do the same thing with my grandma! She also taught us how to draw on the eggs with white crayon to make patterns like resist dyeing, too. We don't have any of the eggs anymore, but they really will last a super long time if done right. What great memories to have!
I have some that used to be hard boiled. They are mostly decorated with uni markers (like poscas) and the inside just dries up. Unless the egg is cracked (in which case you have a stink bomb) it’s fine!
My mom use to do that for me, blow the egg guts out. But I would make them into little people. Your way is MUCH cooler!
I’m still confused why she didn’t blow the eggs out. Hard boiled seems like a waste
the 'let the fun begin' probably refers to the egg search that follows decorating the eggs (that are absolutely edible). They get hidden by the easter bunny, and then once found, are usually part of breakfast :)
My family usually used the dip-dye process, which was fun bc then you can use white wax to mark where you didn't want colour! Leading to some very interesting designs. and yea, the mess is part of the experience lol
Hey Jackie! Ameri-grain here. I do egg decorating every year, and have since I was a kid (almost 26 now, but still a kid in my soul)! I will let you know that yes the dyed eggs are edible! I use mine every year for deviled eggs. The prices on these kits though kinda blew me away, I can go to my local walmart and get all of these kits (except the first one) For $2.98 US!!! I think you might've been ripped off. Fun video though! Loved it like always!!!

My family always dip-dyed eggs in a food coloring and vinegar solution. Sometimes we used white crayon as a resist. It was very fun, and the vinegar never really affected the flavor of the eggs
Watching Jackie do something I did my ENTIRE childhood and it's either confusing or new to her, just amuses me to no end. lol
Making all of us rethink our definition of "normal". 😀
Even more than fifty years ago, Paas kits were an essential part of Easter in Toronto. We’d dye them on Saturday and hunt them on Sunday.
I really think that was the best brand to buy growing up and even now
Same here in the states ..I remember dying with Paas years ago as a little kid ♥️♥️
That's what I remember using here!! US, South Louisiana. The other kits like this we tried never worked well and we always went back with Paas the the following year
"doesn't warrant a $20 kit.". Agreed. Good thing a Paas dye kit is only $3-5 at a U.S. grocery store. But you're right, any food color + vinegar will do it. Mccormick food dye has instructions for egg dyeing on the box.
I was shocked when I saw $100 for 4 kits! They even sell them at the dollar stores!! Max price is maybe $5/kit at any store. Where did she find these waaay OVERPRICED kits??

Egg decorating for Easter was always a huge deal at our house. My grandmother was from the Ukraine and she taught me how to make pysanka eggs. Basically you draw with wax then dye your egg, then draw some more and then dye again and when you are all done you remove the wax revealing the layers of art underneath. I recommend trying it sometime.
I live in rural Maine and grew up near some families of Ukrainian refugees from previous delusional tyrants, and the ladies made beautiful eggs each year, such artistry, lovely memories.
I have to say I've been coloring eggs for the 26 years of my life and Jackie absolutely blew my mind with how she swatched the colors! I've always just did a cup for each tablet and waited for it to dissolve to find out which color is which 😂
I think that's what most of us do tbh 😂
I feel like 25 years ago they used to have letters pressed into the tablets but then again also thought the color tablets where individually put in their pouchchain
Jackie. The holes in the boxes are for placing the eggs to dry after you've dyed them. Just wanted to letcha know.
My head hurts and ushaly my brother is the only won to make me happy but you help a lot nerdy cafter.

In the US I've grown up decorating eggs but it was usually with the PAAS egg kits since they're not too expensive and can be gotten for $1 most places here.
Also the perforated circles on the back of the package are meant to be a holder for the eggs for them to dry
Oh yeah definitely no more than couple bucks. No way anyone anywhere pays more than 5 bucks idc where u get them.
I'm wondering where she bought them for more than $3. She got ripped off big time lmao NOOOO ONE would buy an egg dye kit for $25. All of those should have equalled $10 tops.
@@kiddivy Canada man, they’re way more expensive than down here. Especially if the company you’re buying from doesn’t sell directly to Canada and you have to have it shipped… a chunk of that price is probably shipping
"It doesn't warrant a $20 kit" lol yup - all these would be worth your cash if they were the actual price you can find them for ($3 or less) in the US lol. The kits are cheaper than buying the individual supplies if you're not doing a huge party or something (or already have food coloring on hand)
Hello Jackie! To answer your question; I am from Poland and we have a tradition of painting eggs! It's very popular, we even take them in a basket to church for a consecration! We paint them with regular paints, red onion juice (like you mentioned), but there are also special dye packets available in stores - you put an egg in hot water, add dye and after a few minutes the egg is a certain color. Sometimes we also scrape the shell of the egg with a knife and create patterns this way. I recommend you check it out!
PS At the end we eat them all :3
I love your videos, thank you for always making me smile!
The spinning egg machine looked so cool I bought it to use for our eggs this year. Everyone LOVED it. Thank you 1000!
I spent many years growing up decorating eggs...my favorite ones were where we'd poke holes on both sides, scramble the eggs and then blow the inside out, and rinse them out. Sometimes we'd carefully take a circle off to clean them out and then glue the parts back on and take beads to decorate them.
Unfortunately, we lost those when my grandma passed away, but they were adorable little decorations.
‼️dude I took the egg hunting competitions as a kid so seriously. I had this strategy where I would run past all the first eggs because that's the eggs the kids are going to be collecting and seeing first and stopping to grab and fighting over. So I would just fly past all of those ones to the middle of the field and start collecting there and I would always end up with wayy more eggs than any other kid. Because it would always take the other kids a while to reach me and by the time they did I took all the eggs from that whole area already. To everyone doing an egg hunt this year take my wisdom and become a champion egg hunter yourself. I WANT TO BE THE VERY BEST THE BEST THAT EVER WASSSS
Aye I did the same thing when I was young ecept I started form the bakc of the field to the middle
This is serious business..🤨.. 😅aaawe soo cute and what a sweet, sweet story
🥲❤️.. Thank You❣️
omg same!
Thanks for the too we're actually doing this at my school even if i'm in 5th grade people think it ain't fun but it is cause we end up getting candy/chocolate so it is fun
Heck ya
The circle cutouts in the little PAAS ones are to hold the eggs while they dry or like a stand for them! Also you can eat the dyed eggs even if it goes past the shell it’s food safe :^) I used to just dip dye my eggs with a little wire in a kit with those tablets. It was tons of fun. And sometimes there’s even little costumes you can get for the eggs those come in fun kits too.
And it is TOTALLY more worth it to hit up stores Monday AFTER EASTER, to get them at HUGE discounts, too. I may or may not STILL have a few dozen of the most basic ones waiting for a project with the kids that I bought a few years ago for...$0.25 each? Def not more than that, lol, the week after Easter that year. And of course, after I bought THOSE? My kids decided they were too big to dye eggs anymore...I might go hunt more of the fun ones this year after Easter, though, for coloring paper experiments with the kids this summer.
@@ashleyjohnson9054 lol poor you 😂
WAIT WHAT THERES COSTUMES!?!?!? I WANT THE COSTUMES ONE! Omg caps-
I’m from Finland and we’d paint empty eggs and place them as decorations. Some would be hung on fresh branches (that would be sprouting tiny leaves in vases, it’s snowy at easter) as decorations.
Same in Germany :)
Same in France. We also eat a lot of hard boiled eggs and chocolate eggs. The only thing that I think differs in various countries is the fact the eggs are brought to our gardens by bells (and so, at Easter, when the bells of churches ring, they bring the eggs to the gardens for kids to find).
In u.s., we did both. However my grandmother maintained some polish traditions so that might be why.
Am I the only one, who wants Jackie to decorate eggs now with eastern europe method? With hot wax and dye?
PLEASE JACKIE
oh yes this would be awesome i would love trying it myself
This is actually the main method our family has used for as long as I can remember. We've had some really cool designs come out of it too
My mother made some gorgeous eggs like that! Mine never turned out well
@@lazyhomebody1356 yea mine neither, but I've never really practiced xdd
@@Rafa9-9 Okay! Practice and make some gorgeous eggs :)
No clue about Anglo-Aussies, but my family (Croatian grandparents) always does the onion thing too! Baka sticks a parsley leaf on the eggs and puts them in a stocking, so they have leaf patterns 😁
These are some of the most intricate egg dying kits I’ve ever seen 😂 I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $5 and it’s basically just for the tabs of dye and the little dipper things. Maybe a paint brush. You can use a white crayon to draw designs before dying them and the dye won’t stick there
That's exactly what I did when I was younger! I was hoping someone would say they did it too! 😂
Yep same. Though we used pretty much any colour of crayons, it makes nice contrasts. :)
I just buy plastic eggs at Dollarama and use coloured pencils or markers
I saw the tie-dye kit at my grocery store and it was only $5. $20 is a scam!
that’s how i dyed eggs as a kid!!!
Florida, USA. Paas is an ICONIC brand that everyone pretty much uses to color eggs for Easter. When I got a little older, they had like a wrap plastic with designs on it.
The circles that you can push out are where you put the eggs to dry after dying.
It sounds very Dutch. Pasen means Easter.
Is the brand originally dutch because Paas ei is Easter egg in dutch. I'm curious!
@@dara8430 ops, zie jouw commentaar nu pas, ik dacht hetzelfde!
Yeah i was thinking that lol paas is a staple brand for us
I laughed so hard when Jackie was asking what the circles were while her finger was pointing out "twelve egg holders"
lmao here's the time stamp 23:44
XD I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE THAT OMG- WHAT A COINCIDENCE
The circles on the back of the box: You use them to dry the eggs after they have been dipped in dye. You if you look close, there is a hole in the center of the circles that pop out. You can punch out the center, put a toothpick in it and spin it like a top. When I was young, like a LONG time ago, they actually printed those circles so they would look cool when you spun them (if you are 5).
Also those kits are usually less then $5 at the grocery store. Still expensive, but way less then you paid, except the one with a motor, all bets are off on that one.
7:12 Eggs are hidden at easter, that's why it says "let the fun begin" after finishing decoration ^^
Greetings from Denmark! And yes we decorate both fake and real eggs!
We also have other Easter traditions, such as gækkebreve- you send someone a letter that you've (clipped?) With a scissor so it has a pattern. You then write a rhyme ending with dots for each letter in your name. The person you sent the letter then has to try and guess who sent it by the number of dots and if they guess right you owe them a chocolate egg and if they guessed wrong they owe you one.
Wow Interestin
0.0 That sounds really cool tbh
That sounds like a fun tradition!
Mexican grain here.
Yes, my family does celebrate Easter. Each year we paint on some egg shells and fill them up with confetti and a piece of candy. We have an egg hunt at my grandma’s house and after we find all of them we break them on each other’s head. We usually hide a bill 500 pesos bill (around 25 dollars) in one on the eggs and my little brothers go nuts trying to find them.
I'm from Germany and colored eggs are quite a thing here! As a small grain, I always colored both boiled eggs to eat on Easter and blown out eggs to make decorations. I remember having a coloring "machine" - pretty much a contraption to hold the egg in place on the tips and a crank to turn it by hand while coloring it. A bit fidgety, but it worked quite well.
Family always did the boiled eggs I didn’t know thier was a way you could do it to keep the shell I’ll have to look that up for my own kid
In Sweden, it is a tradition to paint eggs, decorate birch twigs with feathers and the kids dressed up as easter witches (on swedish: påskkärringar) 🙂
hi jackie! the circles on the back of the box can be used to be cut out and used as an egg holder when the item is drying, or even if you just want to hold it when your done, or working on it.
We colour eggs here in Austria too! I especially remember tying flowers and leaves around the eggs before dying them which leaves the part under the plant without colour as a sort of stamp! I loved that as a child.
Hey another Austrian who is watching her videos. Nice! :)
I used to colour eggs too. ^^
I remember eating blue/green/pink hard boiled eggs in the 80s. You should be fine to eat them 😄 I've never seen them package fake eggs into the dye kit though. 😧
We always had tye dyed devil eggs
Somehow they tasted better. Which is gross since they had been hidden for like a while so... Lmbo
In Czech republic we call decorated egg shells "kraslice" and use various techniques - batik dye method, encasing in knotted wire, brushing with wax and scratching the surface to create designs, madeira (drilled pattern), decorating with straw, ... We also color hard boiled eggs, often with natural dye like onion peels and use leafs or flowers for patterns.
wow that is so cool
This sounds so much better to me than how we generally do this in America (shown in part here in these weirdly elaborate egg decoration kits). Like I think I really like how you all do it in the Czech Republic based on what you said here!!!
I've seen some of these decorating techniques and they produce beautiful eggs. My problem is that I wouldn't want to break the eggshell to eat the egg because they are so pretty! Lol! That's why the North American ones are easier to eat. 😁🤣
@@lokicooper4690 Haha right??? I think the only time you shouldn’t eat a decorated hard boiled egg is if it’s either covered in glitter & glue or it’s decorated with food safe coloring/dyes BUT it’s been sitting out in the sun in warmer climates for egg hunts, as that can spoil it quicker than anything
@@lokicooper4690 Well, most of the "kraslice" are made of egg shells only, so they can last really long. We inherited some from grandma and these are 25+ years. Those hard boiled edible decorated eggs are usually simpler in design, so you are not that sorry when you break them. The only problem with kraslice is that you need to go on a baking spree:-) But we bake "beránek" (sponge cake in the shape of lamb), "mazanec" and "jidáše" (sweet buns) so we need a lot of eggs.
Here in Germany painting eggs for Easter is a huge thing. In the rural parts there are still competitions for the most beautiful decorated wells, mostly done with eggs, flowers, ribbons and so on.
the vinegar part and the little tablets just brought me ALL the way back to my childhood holy carp- the week before Easter was always scented with vinegar *everywhere* but it meant we got pretty eggs in the end so we didn't mind
btw the circle cutouts are to hold the eggs when they're drying/done!!!
Watching your videos not in a hospital bed but at home is special already. However adding to the fact that you are an inspiration for me to move beyond the sickness and achieve my dreams is awesome. Thank you for posting
The circle punch outs are meant to set your eggs onto to dry. If you don't break down the box, it will stand up and be an egg holder 🥰🥰 standard us egg kits 👍we got you girl xoxoxoxo 💜💜💜
Yes to the egg decorating. We always did that as children. And my mother has blown out egg shells that are paintet by artists. Beautiful... She always decorates for easter. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I got this years boxu box and the cherry blossom cookie thing ITS AMAZING and the the gummy’s are probably the best gummy’s I’ve ever had
I'm from Chicago, Illinois in the USA. My sister and I would wait for our Mom to boil the eggs so we could dye them. Was so much fun, and yes, we would eat the hard-boiled eggs the day after Easter was over. We also made sure to keep them in the fridge until then. The circles on the boxes are to ret the eggs to dry.
The “unicorn” egg method can be done with shaving cream and food coloring too :) I make them every year with my students.
It’s not edible
Tho
@@Emily20133 I wonder if whipped cream in the spray can thing would work?
I’ve done this with cool whip and food dye. Works amazing.
I have meringue powder laying around in my baking cabinet I used it for one recipe and I had a lot left and now I didn’t really have a use for it but this is perfect I’ll definitely have to try it out this Easter ☺️
In Switzerland we're decorating eggs and there is a game called "Eiertütschi" (kinda transeltes to egg crashing) and the goal is to crack the opponets egg on both sides without getting your egg damged. Sounds weird, but its really fun to play^^
Sounds like the game we play in the U.K. with the nuts of the horse chestnut tree 🌰 which we call conkers
the hole/cut circles on the back of the 3rd box with the tie dye eggs are to put the eggs in to let them dry I believe!
I'm from the UK and "blowing" an egg (carefully piercing both ends of the egg with a sharp pin and blowing out the contents into a cup until blue in the face) and then carefully painting the shell was a thing. There were many broken eggs from either cracking when piercing or shattering whilst painting and displaying even when using egg cups to hold them whilst decorating since any light pressure would push them off the egg cup and the shells themselves are extremely delicate.
From Malta here! Love your vids!! We never decorated eggs, instead, we decorate Figolli, they are a traditional easter pastry - essentially a giant cookie in the shape of smt easter themed eg lamb, filled with a filling of almond paste and covered either with chocolate or royal ising. very delicious! Thank you for your vids!!
I think the line “let the fun begins” refers to looking for the hidden eggs. You leave the eggs out the night before Easter and the Easter bunny comes and hides them. 🙂
Yeah except if you have pets they sometimes rehide them. My cats can't be the only ones who do this. Aka they play with it when we're asleep and we find them like under the couch.
Even more fun when the Easter bunny hides one to well and it melts....worst one we had was on top of a picture frame it slid down the back leaving a melted mess. The picture was fine.
@@keturahmagee6413 one of my fondest childhood memories is of my childhood dog Cheyenne eating an Easter egg in the backyard. I hunted down all the dyed eggs but we couldn't find the last one, and my mom recalls hearing crunching. Then, we looked to see her snacking on a blue hard boiled egg.
I grew up dyeing eggs (in the U.S.), but my mum did it with food coloring and vinegar. Sometimes she bought the kits, but it was cheaper not to. :D
The smell of vinegar always reminds me of Easter! My childhood (in the 80s) Paas egg kit with the tablets but we’d fill a mug with the vinegar and add the tablet then dunk the eggs with the wire spoon it always came with…seems a lot easier than this way.
They still make kits that way too
I remember those kits too as a kid in the 90s Easter egg dye was always vinegar with either food dye or the tablets
a little hack if you need it: use a hair dryer to heat the adhesive of a price sticker and its easier to peel off in one go!
I love the Paas kits! The original is best where you get a white crayon to draw designs before you dip the eggs in the dyes. The circles on the back are like a drying rack for your eggs! And after they're dry, the side of the box can be cut and fit into a circle as an egg stand!
I decorated eggs with my neighbor’s grandchildren a few years ago, we used shaving cream and the eggs were kinda pretty but they tasted of soap. The egg white method would be better plus you could add sugar and messy fingers might just taste yummy. In addition, we always decorated eggs for Easter when I was a kid. You never forget that vinaigrette smell!🥚🥚🥚
I was *not* expecting that egg roller to work even remotely that well.
Me neither. That was a really cute effect and I'd have loved it as a kid.
It just looked weird
I was really impressed with that one. I seen some similar that definitely did not work.
Hi Jackie! You're supposed to punch out the circles and then stand the eggs up inside the holes in the box. That's what we used to do after coloring our eggs with the "Paas" food coloring kits when I was just a little grain...many, many years ago!
Oklahoma America. I grew up dying eggs every year. We did the basic kit. Around the dining room table with boiled eggs, vinegar color tabs in cups, clear crayons and this little wire dipper stand thing lol. The holes on the back of the box are for putting your eggs there while they dry. Keeps the mess on the cardboard instead of your table. Some of my fondest memories :)
I love how Jackie puts products in the trash for using non-environmentally friendly glitter. It’s a really nice to see influencers focusing on sustainability.
Loved decorating eggs and filling them with confetti to crack on eachother heads for easter. What became a thing in my family is we will even fill the eggs with flour overall a very fun experience.
The cut outs are for the eggs after your done so they can dry. 🙂
This craft was so much fun to watch. Thanks Jackie!
vinegar water and dye kits are a standard and we usually use mugs when dying. we even have these cool wire things made to hold the egg and drop it into the mug to dye in a few seconds. The holes on the box are for holding your eggs while they dry!
As a kiddo I remember my mom would help us dye our eggs one or two colors using about 18 coffee mugs... then overnight they would *magically* have transformed to beautiful multicolor, speckled, etc eggs.... the easter bunny that came to our house had a lot of OIL tricks up his sleeves lol... but I remember being amazed every time, and will definitely carry on the tradition!
That's adorable!! What a precious memory!
Man I remember when they were just the color tabs and the clear crayon. I loved dying eggs as a kid, so this year I bought myself wooden ones to paint!
Are you kidding me?! I just finished decorating (plastic) eggs for the easter hunt in our neighbourhood 🤣😂 Lots of love from the Netherlands! You rock, Jackie!
I'm from Lithuania and we do dye our boiled eggs. We use special egg paints to paint them in different colours. There's also wax painting, silk painting and we also use red onion peels.
And I think those round cut outs in the boxes are so you can place the eggs to dry.
Im from Denmark and we also paint on eggs for easter 😊 we usually blow out the raw egg and paint on the shell. They are used for decorations. 😊
so fun watching you color eggs.we always tried to put the eggs in the holes on the box to dry after dyeing them.they usually roll away lol made some cute bug eggs last year with sticky craft foam
Hey Jackie
I am from India 🇮🇳 and no we don't color eggs here but we have a holiday all related to colors that is holi. Luv uuu
I love that holiday! It is always so much fun to see the photos emerge after you all have celebrated. Thanks for sharing!
I love the way she explains things
but then again I love her personality:D
I am Latvian and we even collect onion shells for egg coloring. It is part of our tradition. Latvian wrap eggs together with onion shells, some leafs, flowers and everything what we can find in forest. After boiling there is really interesting draws on egg shell.
Jackie this was such a fun video. Coloring eggs was my mom's favorite holiday thing. She passed March 1st. I'm glad you enjoyed it even though the kits weren't great.
The circle cutouts are so you can rest your eggs while waiting for them to dry, while you work on the next one, etc. Each kit is usually meant to do a dozen eggs.
This is so cute, as someone who grew up dying eggs. So did most of these, It was great to watch you figure it out. My little one says " why does the Easter bunny need eggs anyway, he eats grass" 🤣🤣🤣
I'm from the UK and the only traditions I remember my family having is egg hunting for plastic eggs in the garden, then taking hard boiled eggs and rolling them down a small hill outside my nan's house (it was kind of like a race to see who's egg got to the bottom first).
We used to decorate eggs, but not like this- we had a contest each year in primary school. It was more like a diorama contest with really a lot of really bad egg jokes :P
Love coloring eggs!! I have a whole box dedicated to giving them faces, accessories, and a bunch of egg holder tools for dying, including a lil bunny whisk, from Acadia maine
This took me back. Now I want to decorate eggs this year. Thank you for this. And yes, dyed hands was always expected when decorating the eggs.

Hi, I am from the Czech Republic (central Europe) and painting eggs is easter tradition in our country! :D
In Croatia we would use flowers and leafs, put it on the eggs and then wrap up the egg in the cut up parts of see-through stockings. And we would boil the eggs just like you said, in onion shells. And the egg would be brown, and lighter in shape of flower you put on the egg. It's pretty, kinda traditional and cheap method, but this year I'm trying the egg whites and food coloring method, and I actually can't wait to do it 😊
Jackie breathing on the sticker to remove it softly is the most hilariously ridicules thing I’ve ever seen 😂
This is why I love you 🤣
And also, eggs be painted in Swedish grains houses too. It’s the law.
Most ppl use hair dryers or those heat guns. The sticker comes right off lol
Same she is sooo funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m from Ireland and personally, I have no experiences with coloring eggs since the Easter eggs I had growing up were hollow chocolate eggs and were super delicious. 😂❤️😊
The perforated circles on the box: Punch out the circles, use the opening as an egg holder to allow the eggs to dry after dying. The punched out remaining circles will have an indent in the middle, you put a toothpick through that indent and can then make a flying toy. To use, simply spin the toothpick between your palms and heave into the air at the same time, like a spinner. (never worked for us though lol )
French grain here, I've never painted nor decorated eggs before but we did the hunt in my parent's garden. I still cherish the childhood memories of finding rainbow chocolate eggs in the snow. Fun times
Growing up in the U.S. egg decorating was all ways a fun activity we would to at grandmas house. All the grandkids get together and we would use something similar with cups of colored dye and a white crayon you could draw on the egg first then dip it in or let it soak in any of the colors and where the crayon was it wouldn't dye that area. we all ways had so much fun. also I'm fairly sure those circles on the back on the box is so you can use it as a sort of stand/drying rack for finished eggs.
I've never really thought about dying eggs being food safe I realized lol. It's just such a common thing here. But since you are dying and glittering the shell and not the egg itself I would think it should be fine? No? Also wouldn't you throw the shell in the trash, not down the drain with glitter, or is that a no no too?
Egg shells are semipermeable, so dye, chemicals, whatever can pass through the shell to the egg inside. So definitely only use food safe products if planning to eat the eggs.
I've never decorated an egg either but they do it a lot at nurseries here in the UK.
I'm allergic to them and always wondered if I'm missing out but never thought of using a wooden one as when I was at nursery they just hard boiled an egg and I got told to sit in the corner and draw a bunny 🤣

I am from Poland and I remember decorating eggs with my grandma when I was little. We did patterns with warm wax and a needle tool, and we dyed them with food dye afterwards, then we scratched off the wax, so the pattern had the egg-white colour that was underneath. It was a lot of fun!
I am from Poland and we have different types of traditional ways of decorating eggs. Depending on the type of decorations, decorated eggs have different names.
As a child, I was using simple paints which can be found in each supermarket before Easter, and paint by only one color each egg. Vinegar was useful to set the color.
Hello
Sorry easter

Hi!
As a German grain, I can confirm that colored eggs are quite a thing here. Coloring eggs with onions is my favorite! I think it makes the eggs taste better and you can do pretty patterns by putting a leave on the egg, wrapping it in a nylon sock and then cooking it with the red onion peel.
For the tie dye, you can actually do it with a regular egg dye kit with scraps of paper towels! it turns out WAY cuter. Also, if you just dip eggs in dye, you can use a white crayon and draw on the egg, then the dye repels away from what you drew (though it looks like someone else mentioned that too)
I used to dye eggs at my grandma's house every year growing up! :)
Yeah we always colored eggs just using cups of warm water with differing food colors mixed in them. Dip the eggs in to color, longer the dip, the bolder the color, dip in extra colors to mix and have fun. Also colored eggs by taking a bowl, an egg, putting drops of food coloring in it then carefully rolling the egg around in the bowl. That also made a nice tie-dye effect. After Easter, it was tradition to take the colored eggs and make an egg salad with them as all the egg whites absorbed some of the colors, so we had a rainbow egg salad.
We decorated eggs when I was a kid. We made egg salad or deviled eggs. So delish! My parents stopped decorating and hiding eggs once I was around 10 or 12 I think. Wasn't until I got older (late teens, early twenties) my friends and I would decorate for the fun of it.
Side note: Just bought my figet Kit last night. Can't wait to get my salt shaker!
