Combine 1 tablespoon of food coloring with 2 tsp. of vinegar in a deep cup. Fill cup about halfway with water. Gently place the eggs into the cups. Use a soup spoon to place the eggs in the cups and to remove them. Leave the eggs soaking until you've achieved the color you desire. Be sure to let the eggs dry thoroughly before touching them.

Totally Psych-egg-delic!

If you're looking for an egg-citing new way to color Easter eggs this year, try the Rubber Band Technique! Check out Party City for the perfect egg-dyeing kit and prepare as usual. But before dipping the eggs in, wrap several rubber bands around the eggs in all different directions, being careful not to cover the egg completely. Dip the eggs into the dye. Once the color has dried, carefully remove the rubber bands and voila! Just like tie dye, you'll see that the eggshell is still white where it was covered by the bands. Add more bands now in other directions and dip into a different color for unique and totally groovy eggs! Be sure to let each color dry thoroughly before double-dipping!
