My family really gets into dyeing Easter eggs. Despite being a crafter, I am not very successful at dyeing Easter eggs. My children try to encourage me, “Oh, Mama. Those are….nice. You did a …. nice… job.” (I have…nice….kids). Last year I found my secret weapon for an easy dyed Easter egg design. Whew! finally after almost 20 years.
I’ve tried using a wax crayon to create designs. Ahhhgn. I’ve tried using rubber bands to create designs. One was great the other 12+ were ahhhhgn. My new secret weapon? Adhesive paper reinforcement rings.
Simply stick the reinforcements on the egg and dye the egg in store-bought dye. You can put them on the egg and then place the egg in the dye for white circles. Or you can dye the egg a light color, let it dry and then add the reinforcements and dye the egg a darker color.
Just use your fingernail to smooth the reinforcements down well. It couldn’t be easier. I’ve stocked up on the adhesive reinforcement rings this year and now I can’t wait to dye more eggs next week.

Hi Susan – How on earth did you figure this out? What a great idea! I wonder if you could use the circles to make other images. The only thing coming to mind right now is a snowman but hummm…. I really want to color Easter Eggs at your house! Hugs, Holly
Excellent way of telling, and fastidious piece of writing to get information about my presentation subject matter, which i am going to convey in school.
As we don’t celebrate Easter, dying eggs is not familiar here
I think it’s sooooooooooooo cute, and must be fun doing it.
I sure love the colors 🙂

Deb, have fun this year dyeing eggs with your grandbabies!
This is new to me 🙂
As we don’t celebrate Easter, we also don’t dye eggs. But it’s so beautiful, and in way it’s very artistic
I didn’t realize it was this easy! Definitely trying this when we dye our eggs this year.
It was so easy and I loved the way the design turned out. Have fun with it, Corinne.
