How to DIY easter eggs with alcohol ink
STEP ONE
Gather your supplies. We recommend crafting eggs but you can absolutely use hard boiled eggs!
*If you use hard boiled eggs, the alcohol ink is not food safe, so don't eat the eggs!
STEP TWO
Drop a few drops of rubbing alcohol on your first egg. We suggest a dropper or pipette for this process, but a little spray bottle also works really well! Just use what you have around your house!
step three
Grab your favorite alcohol ink colors and put a few drops on the egg. You can do 2 colors at a time if you want! There is no wrong choice, it's going to look amazing no matter what.
STEP FOUR
Add a few more drops of rubbing alcohol to blend the inks. If you don't like how something looks, just use more alcohol and it will fade the colors. For brighter eggs, use a little less alcohol.
STEP FIVE
Repeat this process, using different colors on each egg. Try different combinations, and you can even create a monochromatic look or ombre style egg by leaving a lot of white at the top!
step six
Add these eggs to a basket or bowl for a gorgeous display for the Spring and Easter season. Get creative! They could be used on your brunch table as placeholders or decor anywhere!
