Floral Painted Easter Eggs Dyed with Tombow Markers
Easter flowers with flowers!
Painting eggs has never been my favorite activity. As a kid I loved to draw or paint eggs... but now I'm hooked! Also an easy project: paint the eggs with markers and then add a bit of color to create loose flowers.
They are beautiful and would look great on a festive Easter table...light shades and perfect pastels.
Step 1: Boil eggs
Cook the eggs according to the Hamilton Beach Egg Cooker's instructions. It takes about 18 minutes to get a perfectly cooked egg. No brown/bruising around yellows, perfection every time!

Step 2: Color the boiled eggs
Start painting with marks on a plastic bag.
He'll be weak, but don't worry.
Then spray the plastic bag with a spray bottle.
Place the egg in the center of the bag.
Look for the pocket around the egg and look at the colors that mix and match.
Open the bag to see an explosion of colors!
Use a towel to gently wipe off excess paint.
Repeat with all the shades and colors. Leave to dry completely.
Step 3: Draw the flowers on the eggs
Now get the acrylic paint and a small round brush.
Don't be afraid of these colors...they last seconds and are very messy!
Hold the egg with your non-main hand.
Use a small brush to add some round balloons.
Then add the U-shaped balloons in the middle.
Add a few more balls around the petals.
Add a few small dots in the middle.
Add other leaves and flowers!

That's all!
These egg flowers are even easier because I wanted to show the marker in small gaps... they look more like watercolor.
