Subject: Egg Dyeing: Tissue Paper Technique

You'll need the following:
--hard-boiled eggs
--colorful art tissue paper
--plastic wrap
--paper towels
--bubble packaging (optional)
--scissors
To create a mottled effect, lay a variety of colorful 1-inch pieces of art tissue paper on a large square of plastic wrap. Wipe an egg well with a damp paper towel to wet it, then set the egg atop the papers. Wrap the plastic wrap around the egg, gently pressing the tissue papers against it. Remove the plastic wrap & the tissue papers, then set the egg aside to dry. Paper towel or toilet paper tubes cut into rings make great drying stands for finished eggs.
For a specific design, such as a butterfly or monogram, wet the egg well with a damp paper towel, then lay a shape cut from the tissue paper onto the egg.
Set the egg on a piece of bubble packaging to keep it from rolling away while you work. Gently press the damp paper towel over the tissue paper cutout. Then remove the towel & the tissue to reveal the design. Repeat to add details, if you like, then allow to dry.
