Everything is very beautiful, you can see for yourself by clicking on the links.

Two years ago we were talking about the Greek tradition. There you will also learn why eggs are a symbol of Easter and why they are traditionally painted red and why they are broken.

Not worth it. This path is suitable only for those eggs that you will take to the cemetery for Easter, that is, you will not eat, but use them purely for ritual purposes. Because it is not known what is contained in the paint of felt-tip pens (certainly not food coloring).

For food, it is better to use eggs dyed with natural or special food dyes.

What is a good way to paint eggs with felt-tip pens

Even a child can paint Easter eggs with a felt-tip pen. It's convenient, simple and fast. You can even not paint eggs, but simply paint ordinary white eggs with flowers, birds or other Easter stories.

How to prepare eggs for painting with felt-tip pens

• Rinse the eggs, boil in heavily salted water (3-4 tablespoons per half liter, approximately). A large amount of salt will prevent the eggs from cracking and ensure long-term (up to a year or more) storage of Easter eggs.
• Then cool under running cold water. At the same time, excess salt will be washed off the eggs ( it sometimes interferes with painting, the felt-tip pen clings to an uneven salt coating).
• Dry the cooled eggs.

And then - apply a drawing on the eggs with felt-tip pens or markers.

The better to draw on eggs - with a marker or felt-tip pen

There is a difference in how the paint of a felt-tip pen and an indelible marker falls on the shell - the felt-tip pen spreads a little and the outlines of the picture turn out to be somewhat blurry (therefore, choose a pattern for an egg that this slight blur will not spoil - flowers, abstract spots).

And the marker lies flat on the shell and remains within the original boundaries of the drawing (suitable for a clear drawing).

How to dry patterned eggs

Eggs with a pattern until the paint is completely dry should be placed in an egg stand (in which they are sold, for example. Just wash the plastic with soap to wash off the dirt and not worry about salmonellosis). Or use cardboard coasters for these purposes (from a glued strip of cardboard forming a ring-stand). You can make them yourself or buy them in a kit with dyes.

These are Easter violets (felt-tip pen). And the red one at the top is a little heart.

Or you can just buy food coloring for Easter eggs and dye them according to the instructions on the paint package. This is if you don’t have time or don’t have enough onion peel at all (you can ask for it from vegetable sellers, by the way).

Both adults and children are looking forward to this bright day, preparing traditional dishes and treats with pleasure. On the eve of the bright Easter holiday, we want to tell you about interesting and unusual, as well as well-known ways to paint eggs.

Since ancient times, it has been customary to exchange painted eggs during the Easter holiday. Since childhood, in many families, relatives came to each other and even played out some kind of battle with eggs. Two people chose their testicles, in their opinion the strongest, and hit each other with them, first with sharp tips, and then with blunt ones - whoever didn’t break an egg during a collision won, taking the opponent’s egg for himself. It was possible to continue this action as long as there are those who want to fight for victory.

According to memories from childhood, painting Easter eggs is a very entertaining activity. The kids so enthusiastically and diligently immerse the eggs in multi-colored solutions, stick stickers, tie them with threads and improvised materials to get spectacular lines and patterns.

All preparations for Easter begin at Clean Thursday , the day when the soul and body are cleansed spiritually and physically. It is not for nothing that Thursday is called clean, according to Christian customs on this day you need to take a good bath, swim in running water, and even better go to the bathhouse. On Good Thursday, in addition to everything else, you need to thoroughly clean up, wash dirty clothes, and scrub everything off, because on the following days before Easter it will be impossible to do household chores.

And, of course, on Maundy Thursday they bake Easter cakes, make Easter, paint eggs.

Have you ever wondered why eggs are dyed for Easter? And do you know what traditional color they should be painted in?

The most beautiful legend says that during the existence of the Roman Empire, in order to get an audience with the emperor, it was required to bring him something as a gift. The rich brought gold, and ordinary people carried everything they had in their households. So, Mary Magdalene, intending to inform the ruler Tiberius about the resurrection of Christ, was able to bring as a gift only a white chicken egg with the words: “Christ is Risen!”

Seeing him, the emperor laughed and said that he would believe it if only the egg turned red, and at the same moment the testicle acquired a bloody hue. Then the stunned Tiberius exclaimed: “In truth, He is Risen!”

The oldest and most important Christian holiday in honor of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. One of the main attributes of Easter is painted eggs - they break the fast after the night service, decorate the table and house, and present them as a gift to relatives and friends.

Why exactly eggs? According to one of the legends, Mary Magdalene came with a sermon to the Roman emperor Tiberius. Having announced the good news of the Resurrection of Christ, she presented the emperor with a simple egg - the only thing she was rich in, and it was not customary to come empty-handed. Tiberius did not believe the words of the saint and shouted out that the white egg would sooner turn red than the dead could be resurrected. And the egg in the hands of the emperor immediately turned red. From surprise, Tiberius uttered: “Truly Risen!”. So it was customary to paint eggs and give them to each other - as a sign and symbol of the victory of life over death.

Eggs are dyed on one of the days of Holy Week (the week before Easter). It is best to do this on Maundy Thursday or Holy Saturday. It is not recommended to make any preparations for the celebration on Friday, since it was on this day that Jesus was crucified. Solid red (the color of the shed blood of Christ) is considered the traditional color, but in our time, clergymen are not forbidden to paint eggs and paint them in other colors.

Now there are hundreds of ways to color - and, and food, and synthetic dyes. But keep in mind that the shell is riddled with microscopic pores, and even the smallest cracks may appear during the cooking process. Through them, the components of the dye will penetrate into the egg, which will make it hazardous to health. So if you are preparing eggs for food and if you have children, use only natural dye. But to decorate the table and at home, you can “walk around”. For example, blow out the contents of an egg, or purchase wooden, ceramic, or papier-mâché eggs from craft stores. Then you can paint them with any paints, varnishes and wax crayons, and then thread the ribbons and hang them around the apartment.

• before dyeing, wipe the eggs with vinegar or wash with soap, the paint will lie better on a clean shell;
• so that the eggs do not burst during cooking, let them lie down for an hour before that at room temperature, and add a spoonful of salt to the water;
• the longer the egg lies in the paint, the richer the color will come out, the eggs can even be left in the dye (preferably natural) overnight;
• to make the eggs shine, wipe them with a napkin slightly dipped in sunflower oil;
• it is convenient to dry the painted eggs on a metal grill from the oven.

It's easy to find special dyes and stickers in stores, but if you want to get a little more creative, let's look at different ways to create interesting and colorful eggs for both the table and home decoration. When showing your imagination in decorating eggs, keep in mind that Easter is a church holiday and it is desirable that the drawing is appropriate and respectful of the meaning of this celebration.

Happy Easter to you!

Easter is already approaching, and therefore it's time to think about such an interesting and beloved by many activities as painting easter eggs. The latter is not just another hobby for needlewomen, but a whole tradition, the history of which goes back to ancient times. As you know, many peoples and even separate regions within the borders of one country have their own rules and customs of painting, using original drawings and patterns. Accordingly, craftsmen are accustomed to distinguish between several types of decorated Easter eggs, namely:

— Easter eggs- raw eggs, painted with beeswax or paints,

— krashanki- hard-boiled eggs, painted in one shade without patterns,

— specks- multi-colored eggs with a solid background and many multi-colored dots (specks, spots or stripes) applied with melted wax,

— ragpanki- Easter eggs, the main pattern of which is scratched on their surface with the help of any sharp object. As a rule, they have a monochromatic background obtained through the use of natural dye (the piece ones are smeared and do not allow you to create neat drawings),

— malevanki- beautiful eggs, decorated with any invented patterns applied with acrylic and other types of paints.

Painting Easter eggs with hot wax

One of the most is their painting with hot wax, which is both an exciting and demanding activity. In order to draw complex patterns on the egg, craftswomen use:

• wax crayons (sold in stationery stores) or melted paraffin candles tinted with food coloring
• small metal containers (deep bottle caps or old tablespoons will do for the first time)
• copper wire or needle (crochet hook)
• egg dyes (natural or food)

Working process:

1. The first thing to do is to paint the selected egg in any monotonous color. Both food coloring and onion peel are suitable here. The main thing is that the shell acquires a rich color, which will later become the background for the picture.

2. After the egg is completely dry, it is worth starting to color it. To do this, you must first melt the colored crayons (each separately), placing them in small containers installed above the flame. The latter may be fire from a candle-tablet located on the desktop. At the same time, it is important that the fire warms the wax all the time while the drawing is being applied, but does not bring it to a boil.

3. After all the necessary preparations, you can now do the direct application of intricate patterns. On a needle or wire used as a brush for drawing, collect a small amount of wax and draw a line on the shell or put a dot. Subsequently, it should be dipped in wax after applying each stroke.

If the egg will be painted with only one color, after applying all the necessary patterns, it must be wiped with a soft cloth, which will remove minor errors. Then grease the shell with sunflower oil or fat, which gives it a shine.

If you plan to apply patterns of different shades, you must first apply strokes of the same color, wait for them to dry completely, and only then proceed to create drawings of the next shade.

Perhaps, after reading all this, not everyone will understand how to act, and therefore below we present you with a master class on painting eggs with hot wax, after watching which everything will finally become clear:

As you can see here, the craftswoman uses wax of several shades, which makes her Easter eggs look beautiful and festive, but this does not mean that monochromatic patterns are inferior to multi-colored ones:

It is clear that beginners simply cannot know all the possible options for painting eggs with melted wax. And for starters, you can use ready-made templates, the number of which is very huge. For example, these can be such drawings:

However, you can decorate eggs using this technique without first coloring them. In that case, they might look like this:

No matter how beautiful the Easter eggs described above turn out, hot wax is far from the only thing that can be used to decorate eggs. Alternatively, they can:

- wrap with an old colorful tie and dip in vinegar for a few minutes,

here is the result:

- paint the shell with a permanent marker,

- wrap eggs in lace and dip in food coloring,

- cover the eggs with confectionery sprinkles.

The methods of decorating Easter eggs do not end there at all. They can also be wrapped with ribbons, placed in openwork nets (specially crocheted), painted with ordinary paints, decorated with leaves with plants and in any other way that comes to mind. The main thing to remember at the same time is that bold experiments with the use of toxic substances are best carried out on hollow eggs that no one will eat.

But hard-boiled krashanki are best dyed with natural dyes, which are used not only onion peel, but also pomegranate juice, boiled spinach leaves, strong coffee or tea, red cabbage leaves and many other products.

To decorate an Easter egg with a pattern, use "mask effect".

The mask can be:

1. Leaves of plants.

Tear off a leaf of a house or wild plant, attach it to an egg.

Put a nylon sock on top of the egg, tie it with an elastic band.

Color the egg with food coloring according to package instructions.

Take off your sock and leaf. What a beauty it must be!

2. Pieces of adhesive tape, electrical tape, self-adhesive paper.

Well, everything is simple. Cut out squares, circles, stripes from adhesive tape or tape, and various Easter silhouettes from self-adhesive paper and stick them on the egg.

Color the egg with synthetic or natural dye. When the egg is dry, remove the stickers.

Another interesting method is to paint the eggs, pasted over with electrical tape, in two colors.

Cover the egg with a strip of electrical tape first in one direction and paint it yellow.

When the egg is completely dry, remove the tape and stick another piece of it in the opposite direction.

Color the egg blue. Mixing blue and yellow will make green.

Now remove the ribbon from the egg.

So, playing with flowers, you can have fun and usefully spend time.

3. Bank gum for money.

These cute striped eggs can be obtained by wrapping them with a rubber band before painting.

4. Fig.

Roll the wet egg in dry long-grain rice and wrap tightly in a bandage. Tie the ends of the bandage with an elastic band or thread. Boil the egg in the onion peel for 15-20 minutes (pre-soak the peel overnight in water).

marble eggs

The effect of marbled eggs gives vegetable oil, which is added to food coloring during dyeing.

You can dye the egg first one color, and then dip it into the dye of a different color, after adding a tablespoon of vegetable oil and stirring the solution with a fork. Try to catch as many oil stains as possible, then dry the egg with a napkin.

Marble effect can be achieved, finely chopped onion skins, wrapping them in an egg and pulling a nylon sock on top. Boil the eggs for 20 minutes.

You can color Easter eggs marker...

Or felt-tip pens. Quite simple, but how beautiful!

Colored eggs look spectacular wax pencils. True, they need to be painted while still hot. So, you will need an egg stand. After finishing work, leave the egg to dry for an hour.

You can amaze your friends with an intricate pattern by painting eggs with natural cotton threads. Mix the multi-colored threads, tightly tie them around the eggs and boil. Voila - the creative pattern is ready!

To get the golden yellow color of the eggs, boil them in a decoction. turmeric.

And in order for the eggs to acquire a soft pink color, paint them in juice beets.

Dark brown color will give the eggs a strong broth tea.
