Easter is the most wonderful holiday. An inseparable companion of a fragrant cake on a solemn table are colorful eggs. To exchange them or treat them is a good sign, because they are the wishes of good and prosperity.

An interesting way

Modern masters came up with a lot of the most unusual and very exciting ways of how to paint eggs for the holiday. Popular this spring were precisely the "marble" eggs for Easter. Such an unusual name krashenki (namely, as people call colored eggs) for their proximity to natural materials. To achieve the most unique coloring can be a few rather cognitive ways. The best thing to do in the company of kids.

The first way of coloring

How to paint marble eggs on Easter with the help of purchased paint, will tell the experience of a young naturalist. Also, recommendations on this subject can be seen on a bag of paint. First of all, it is necessary to determine the number of eggs required, because it will be possible to calculate the required amount of dye. It is better to choose for painting a few optimally natural marble colors. Then the krashenki can be decomposed "kaleidoscope" around the cake.

To get the "marble" eggs for Easter, you will also have to stock up a good piece of gauze, a few spoons of rice, selected onion husks, scissors and threads.

First step

The first thing is to cut a clean gauze with the necessary number of squares (15x15 cm), so each marble miracle will be awarded attention.
To marble blotches turned out as reliable as possible, it is necessary to cut the onion husk finely. The optimal pieces will be not more than a square centimeter. So put it will be more convenient.

To "marble" eggs on Easter shine, like a real pebble, you need to take care of rice and husk. In a bowl with a peel it is necessary to pour a little water, with rice to do the same fork. Such manipulations will help small particles of cereals to stick to the shell and effectively print on it during cooking.

Next stage

Collapsed in rice and husks, the egg must be carefully wrapped in a layer of gauze, tightly tie the tail of the material and cut it with scissors. A close fit will provide the strongest contact of rice, husk and shell. Coloring in this way will allow to achieve natural overflows and multilayered marble.
Next, gauze knots should be placed in a deep pan (you can use a scoop if you plan to create a small number of "marble eggs" for Easter) and cook for about 40 minutes, so that all items are finished and painted with the help of a peel.

The third stage

Now you can safely take up the color. To raise the powder is strictly according to the manufacturer's recommendation, in order to get a quality solution as a result. Dish (glasses or mugs) should be placed as tightly as possible to each other in order to optimize the coloring process. If the manufacturer requires the powder to be dissolved in hot water, the condition must be met, but before dipping the eggs, allow the dye to cool.

The next stage will be the final coloring of the items - convolutions must be lowered into the solvent and wait about three to five minutes for each egg. Next gauze lumps are removed, freed from tinsel and rinsed under a stream of cold water.

With greenery

You can make the same "marble" eggs for Easter with greenery. Color krashenki turns more saturated and deep. For this version, you will need all the same inventory as in the previous board, but the dyes must be replaced with a proven green. The disadvantage of this variant of obtaining "marble" eggs is scarcity of flowers, but, on the other hand, they can be beaten by a monotonous decoration of the celebration. Green napkins and glasses perfectly balance the festive table.

The process of creating "marble" eggs

Pre-moistened eggs must be generously rolled in a chopped onion husk and wrapped in cheesecloth. To tighten gauze rags must be carefully, so that the zelenka evenly falls on the shell.

Next comes the process of cooking. To eggs do not break the pattern and do not burst at the most inopportune moment, it is worth adding to the boiling water a tablespoon of quality salt. After this, you can safely pour in a super-agent - zelenok. For a dozen Easter eggs , one bottle is enough, but still it is worth the dose.

To protect yourself from getting greens on your hands, you need to protect yourself with good rubber gloves, the pan after painting will be easily washed. But the hands can "green" for more than one day.

Brew in green eggs should be 10 minutes after boiling, after which you need to get the bundles and untie. The finer the grind or the husks are cut, the brighter and more pronounced the marble pattern will be.
