Hey guys,
I don’t know about you, but in my family we have the tradition to dye Easter eggs on Thursday only. Usually my grandmother (baba) does them as she enjoys it very much, and I’m happy to watch her just buzzing around! Even now, when I’m thousands miles away from home and baba, I decided to keep the tradition alive and maybe even experiment a little bit! I googled some interesting techniques to dye eggs and there were a few that particularly caught my eye. I’m planning to split the post in two parts – one for today and one for tomorrow (which you can find here), and show you the results of my dyeing adventure!
I really, really wanted to make some pretty eggs, and decided that dyeing with shaving cream/foam would help me reach my goal. I mean look at this, how can you not fall in love with it?? (picture taken from the internet) 
I’ve done my research, stoked up with some shaving foam bottles and prepared to get the job done! I followed every instruction precisely and if you keep reading, you’ll see my results down below.
First, I put some transparent wrapping foil over my plate, so I don’t make it messier than already expected. Then I got some food colouring and let the magic happen. I added different colours to make it as pretty as possible!
Then I hopped my egg in and then waited to see the results.
I tried with several eggs and the result was… well, disappointing is a too mild word to describe. None of the eggs got ANY colour what so ever, not to mention the beautiful marble patterns I was hoping for. Only one of them got… something. I’ve also tried with egg colorants instead of food ones.. same result if not worse.
If you’ve tried a technique like that, I’d be happy to share with me some tips how to make it properly. I’m going back to the kitchen to try again and hope for better results! I’ll update if anything changes. If you’d like to see my next dying experiment, please click here. Bye x

You know, I’ve never dyed eggs before! Great try though, great post too!
April 13, 2017 at 5:25 pmAw thank you, the next ones are way more successful but I really wanted the technique for these to work out 🙁
April 13, 2017 at 5:40 pmOh I am sorry that it didn’t work out like you wanted, although I think the egg looks really good! I used to colour eggs with my mum when I was little. It always was the best thing ever.
April 13, 2017 at 5:26 pmI’m sorry too, but the next ones were way more successful (different technique though). Don’t you dye eggs anymore? x
April 13, 2017 at 5:41 pmOh I’m glad to hear that 🙂 not anymore… I always want to but then I just forget
April 13, 2017 at 5:50 pmSo pretty 😍 I want to try that
April 13, 2017 at 5:36 pmDefinitely let me know how it goes!
April 13, 2017 at 5:41 pmI really thought it would work out. But even it didn’t work out amazingly egg still looks nice. xx

April 13, 2017 at 6:00 pmI think the eggs look great! xx.
April 13, 2017 at 6:46 pmThank yoou! xx
April 13, 2017 at 6:58 pmThe egg doesn’t look bad, but I complete understand the fact that you feel disappointed because it wasn’t the result you were hoping for & start asking yourself, “what did I do wrong?” At least you’re willing to keep trying. The last time I dyed Easter eggs I think I was like 16 maybe…I’m 41 now. LOL!! Happy Easter!!
April 13, 2017 at 8:08 pmYeah exactly, and I kind of get jealous of the people who actually got the right results 🙁 You should definitely try dyeing some eggs this year haha! Happy Easter to you too!

It’s a shame you werent as pleased with them but it’s certainly a fun thing to do for Easter, regardless of how it turns out❤️😌 Instead of the foam, I would put the dye in cotton wool and wrap the egg in the cotton wool and wait for a bit 🍳 some people put oil over the egg at the end to make it look shiny💛
April 15, 2017 at 12:15 pmHaha definitely I’ll check that idea, and I’d hope to turn out better <3
April 15, 2017 at 1:03 pmIt’s a shame they didn’t turn out how you wanted them too- but it’s still such a good idea!! I’m going to check out the other post about this experiment xx 😉
