Dyeing Eggs

There is a super funny comedian named Demetri Martin. He has a quote on glitter that goes, "I like to do crafts. I work with glitter quite a bit. Don't worry, I make tough stuff like daggers and skulls. The thing about glitter is, if you get it on you, be prepared to have it on you forever 'cause glitter is the herpes of craft supplies." 
That is so true! We dyed Easter eggs tonight and used glitter, yikes what a mess! It was all over the table, counter, couch, and both kids. I haven't check yet but I'll bet somehow there will be glitter on their beds in the morning. 
Despite the mess dyeing eggs was a lot fun. Here is the results. I think they look great. What do you think?

Notice the onion skin dyed egg in the back? I posted the directions to do that in a previous post. Actually to make that one darker I blew the egg out first so I could boil it for longer. To remove the egg just follow the directions on this website. With the egg out of the shell I boiled it for 45 minutes, I love how it turned out, such a pretty design!
Here are some pictures of us dyeing the eggs. Even though we had nine different colors Cailey just wanted to stick to blue and green. Funny girl.

Here we are decorating the eggs in glitter. 

Cailey is watching me put dots on my egg with a candle.

Ben ran out of ideas so he decided to eat his last egg. :)

Here is the results of dyeing eggs on Easter with my Brother and sister-in-law. The dye we used was dye I had bought on clearance from the previous year. Apparently egg dye expires because this dye rubbed off the eggs! When we started Cailey dyed 5 eggs a solid color then ran off to play with the dog. So we touched up her solid eggs a bit while she was gone. Since the dye rubs off, we rubbed off some of the dye and dyed it second color. it turned out really cool. It was the favorite way to decorate this set of eggs. Which one is your favorite? I think there are a lot of beautiful eggs in this batch.
