Instructions:
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Wrap the egg in tissue paper
- To dye your eggs with tissue paper you’ll need bleeding tissue paper, in at least 2 colours or shades. Cut the tissue paper to be about 6 inches square.(Read more about bleeding tissue paper below the tutorial!)
- Scrunch the tissue paper up in your hands to wrinkle it and then open it back up again.This will allow the tissue paper to wrap around the egg more easily.
- Place the egg in one piece of tissue paper and wrap it around the egg.
- Then add the other piece of tissue paper on top, wrapping it from the opposite direction.
Step 3: Add paper towel
- Next, place the tissue paper covered egg on a piece of paper towel.The paper towel will allow a greater amount of water to stay in contact with the tissue paper, making it easier to transfer the colour.
- Wrap the paper towel snugly around the egg, and secure it with a rubber band.
- Then add a rubber band around the actual egg itself. This will push the tissue paper right up against the egg.
Step 4: Soak the egg and allow to dry
- Place the wrapped egg in water, allowing the paper towel to fully absorb water. Remove from the water and allow to dry, as is, overnight.
- The next day, unwrap the egg and remove it from the paper towel and tissue paper. You’ll see that the colour has transferred from the tissue paper to the egg!
- Your tissue paper dyed Easter egg is complete!
