Simple egg
To color the eggs, take a pan with onion skins, pour water into it and add the eggs. Cook over low heat for half an hour. Turn off the heat and leave to cool. After the eggs have cooled, take them out - the eggs are ready.

Leaf print on an egg.
To obtain this effect, you need to tightly tie some leaves to the egg with gauze. And boil the egg in the onion peel.
Leaves can be taken from any indoor plants.

To obtain a striped egg, rubber bands are put on it. When boiling eggs in onion skins, the gum will leave a light imprint.

To achieve a marbled effect, the egg is first covered with onion skins and then wrapped in cotton cloth. The more folds in the fabric, the better the marbled effect. The fabric is fixed with a rubber band and the egg is boiled in the husk.

To obtain this effect, a raw wet egg is rolled in dry rice and tightly wrapped in cheesecloth, evenly distributing the rice over the egg. And boiled in onion skins.

Easter eggs are not just painted in different colors - original patterns on the shells are increasingly found on holiday tables. You can make marble eggs - paint them like real stone. Unusual divorces are created in various ways.

We will need ingredients:

• raw chicken eggs - 8-10 pcs.,
• onion peels (from white and red onions),
• water,
• vinegar 9%,
• salt,
• vegetable oil,
• white paper,
• gauze or wide bandage,
• stocking or tights,
• threads

Regular onion peels are used as a dye. Take part of the peel from an ordinary onion, and part from a red onion. Red onion skins will give a darker brown hue.

How to color and boil marbled eggs:

1. Grind the onion skins with your hands, scissors or a blender. The more heterogeneous the fragments of the husk are, the more intricate the pattern on the shell will be.
2. Finely chop or tear white offset paper and mix with chopped onion peels.
3. Wash raw eggs, wipe with vinegar or alcohol.
4. Roll the eggs in the shells and paper, like breading.
5. Now you need to secure the husk and paper to the shell - to do this, wrap each egg with gauze or a wide bandage and tie it with thread, forming a bag. Instead of gauze, you can use nylon - stockings or tights.
6. Place the egg sacs in cold water and put on fire. To prevent eggs from bursting, salt the water.
7. Wait for the water to boil and cook the eggs for 10-15 minutes.
8. Drain the water and let the eggs cool.
9. Carefully remove the gauze and wash off any remaining onion skins from the eggs.
10. Dry the shells with a paper towel and rub with vegetable oil.

Vegetable oil will add shine to the shell, which will make the eggs even more like natural marble.

Marble eggs with greenery

You can slightly improve the above recipe and cook marbled eggs with brilliant greens.

We will need ingredients:

• onion peel,
• pharmaceutical brilliant green (diamond green solution) – 1 small bottle,
• water,
• vegetable oil.

1. You need to add a brilliant green solution to the water in which the eggs are boiled. A light green tint will appear from just a few drops of brilliant green, and if you pour the entire bottle into water, you will get a rich emerald color of the shell mixed with brown and yellowish spots from onion peels.
2. Keep in mind that green stuff is difficult to wash - protect your hands with gloves, and take a saucepan or bowl for cooking that you don’t mind.

Marble eggs - dyeing

To get multi-colored original eggs, buy factory dyes of different shades.

We will need ingredients:

• raw chicken eggs – 8-10 pcs.,
• onion peel,
• food colorings of different colors - several bags,
• water,
• vegetable oil.

1. Dilute each dye in a separate container, following the instructions on the package.
2. Roll the eggs in onion peels and tie with gauze.
3. Boil eggs in salted water for 10 minutes after boiling.
4. Then, without removing the gauze, lower the egg into the container with the dye and wait for the time indicated on the dye package.
5. Remove the gauze, rinse the eggs, dry the shells with a napkin and rub with vegetable oil for a beautiful shine.

Marbled eggs - varnishing

Bright and spectacular Easter eggs are obtained by painting them with nail polishes. Choose several shades of polish that go well together.

• Take a container of water and add a few drops of each shade of varnish.
• Using an orange stick or toothpick, mix the varnishes on the surface of the water, forming abstract stains.
• Carefully lower the boiled egg into the water, trying to get as much of the varnish film on it as possible (it’s convenient to use large tweezers for this).
• Carefully remove the egg from the water and hold for a while to let the varnish dry.

You can then place the eggs on a plate or stand. Please note that nail polishes are not food coloring. Many people do not risk eating eggs painted in this way, but this method is perfect for creating an Easter decorative still life.

Ingredients:
- chicken eggs (fresh, preferably brown),
- rock or sea salt - 1-2 tsp,
- onion peel
- white paper,
- gauze,
- scissors,
- threads.

How to cook with photos step by step

First, let's do the preparatory work: we will need onion peels (thrifty housewives collect them ahead of time), as well as paper and scissors. Using scissors, cut the paper and husks into small pieces of different sizes.




Next, we wash the chicken eggs with warm soapy water and with wet hands, dip the wet egg in paper-husk crumbs.




Wrap it in a piece of gauze (preferably in two layers) and tie it into a knot. This is how we cook all the eggs.






Next, put them in salty cold water and cook for 10 minutes, noting the time from the moment the water boils.




Remove the eggs from the pan, open the gauze and rinse them in cold water.




Next, prepare a solution of brilliant green in a separate bowl (it’s better to take a half-liter jar) - pour water and pour in half a bottle of green.
Now comes the fun part: use a spoon to dip the eggs into this solution for a couple of seconds.






And then immediately rinse them in running water and grease them with oil to give them shine. It will also look just as bright on the holiday table, which you can also prepare yourself.




Ready!

Beautifully painted eggs will decorate an Easter still life and support the Orthodox tradition. Try making marble eggs for Easter - you will find a step-by-step recipe in this article.

Ingredients needed:

• 10 chicken eggs,
• 1 liter of onion peels,
• water,
• table vinegar,
• gauze,
• A5 sheet of paper,
• scissors

How to paint:

1. Grind the peels of onions and red onions. The smaller and more varied in shape the fragments are, the more interesting the pattern on the shell will be. In total you should get about a liter of crushed husks.
2. Take a sheet of white A5 paper and cut it into random pieces. Mix paper with onion peels.
3. Wash a dozen raw chicken eggs with a soft sponge so that the color goes on evenly.
4. Wipe the eggs with vinegar - this will make the color more durable and rich.
5. Pour the onion skins and paper onto a plate and roll the eggs in it so that the fragments stick to the shell in a random order. The husks will not stick to dry shells, so you should lightly moisten the eggs with water.
6. Cut a square out of gauze. Place an egg in the center of the square, wrap it in gauze, securing the husk with paper on the shell, and secure with thread or an elastic band. Repeat the operation for each testicle.
7. Place the gauze bags with the eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water until the water completely covers the eggs.
8. Add salt to the water - this will prevent an accidentally cracked egg from leaking out.

Marble eggs with onion skins and brilliant greens

1. Pour the brilliant green solution into the pan. You can limit yourself to a few drops of brilliant green or pour out the entire bottle - this way you can regulate the brightness of the color yourself.
2. Place the pan on the fire and bring the water to a boil.
3. Cook the eggs over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
4. Drain the boiling water and pour cold water over the eggs - this will cool them faster and make them easier to clean.
5. Cut the cheesecloth and rinse the eggs under running water to remove the skins.
6. Dry the eggs with a paper towel.
7. Wipe the shell with a napkin slightly moistened with vegetable oil - this will make the eggs shine like real marble (as in the photo).

Making these unusual eggs is incredibly easy if you follow the instructions. Marble eggs look original on the holiday table, and natural dyes are safe for the health of your family.

The bright holiday of Easter. What does it mean to us? Of course, the Resurrection of the Son of God, the solemn Easter all-night service, breaking the fast after strict fasting and the invariably fragrant Easter cakes with colored eggs, which we go to church to bless every year.

Once upon a time, paints were made only in a red hue, but over time people began to give them an increasingly festive look, decorating them as much as they could with skill, imagination and creative thought. And someone came up with the idea to paint eggs like marble. It turns out great: one color smoothly transitions into another, the veins and stains on the shell really resemble this noble stone.

Let's talk about this method in more detail: what materials are needed, how to do it correctly, and what happens as a result. So, let’s paint Easter marble eggs for the holiday.

Option one - with greenery

Products and accessories:

Cooking method:

Eggs painted with green produce beautiful brownish-green stains, do not pose any environmental hazard to the human body, and do not stain your hands when cleaning the shell.

Option two - with onion skins

The most ancient and traditional way of coloring eggs is in onion skins. Of course, everyone knows him. But to get marble eggs, you will need to stock up on multi-colored onion peels (from yellow, red and purple, the so-called “Yalta” onions).

Many people dip wet eggs not in chopped husks, but in rice cereal, then secure them in gauze and paint them in the same way. It turns out very beautifully, but the eggs come out more speckled, rather than with marble stains and patterns.

Option three - food coloring

Now we paint marble eggs in a variety of shades. To do this, you can use store-bought food dyes; here you will get a very diverse range of colors.

1. Wet eggs must first be rolled in chopped onion peels, then wrapped in gauze, boiled for 15–20 minutes and cooled.
2. Dilute dyes of different colors in different containers according to the instructions indicated on the packages. Place the eggs directly into the dye in gauze bags and leave for 10 to 20 minutes (depending on the time indicated on the dye packaging).
3. Next, remove the gauze and husks from them, rinse under running water, dry and rub with oil.

If you are against purchased food dyes and are worried that they contain a lot of chemicals and harmful substances, prepare paint from what every housewife has on hand in every kitchen:

Instead of gauze or bandage, you can use thin nylon tights or socks to dye eggs.

Option four - nail polish

There is another original, so far quite rarely used, way to paint eggs like marble. It will require: a deep bowl of water, a wooden stick, the eggs themselves and multi-colored nail polishes.

The eggs turn out very beautiful and bright, but this method has many opponents who believe that varnish vapors can still penetrate through the shell into the egg mass.

How you decide to make eggs for Easter is up to you. Perhaps some will not want to bother for a long time, others do not change the traditions of childhood, when mothers and grandmothers painted eggs in a saucepan with onion skins. But in any case, you should try to make at least a few marble eggs. This is very beautiful, elegant and festive!
