Marbled Pattern Dyed Eggs

Ingredients

Chicken Egg - 5 pieces
Onion - 0.2 oz
Red Food Coloring - to taste
Vinegar essence - 1 tablespoon
Vegetable Oil - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients. Take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance and allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 2

Crush the onion skins in a mortar and pestle or a blender until the pieces are about 5–10 mm in size.

Step 3

Cut the paper into small, random pieces.

Step 4

Thoroughly wash the eggs with a brush, then without drying, roll them in the husk and paper.

Step 5

Cut off the toe of a thin nylon stocking and tie one end securely with a knot. Place one egg into the stocking at a time, separating them with knots. The nylon should fit snugly against the eggs to keep the paper and shells in place.

Step 6

Place the eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Let them cool completely.

Step 7

Remove the eggs from the stocking, and peel off the shell and paper.

Step 8

Dissolve the dye in 100 ml of cold water, adding a tablespoon of vinegar, and dip the eggs in one at a time for 2–3 minutes. This step can be skipped.
