Tissue Paper Dyed Easter Eggs
Fun, simple way to decorate Easter Eggs
This is hands down my favorite way to decorate Easter Eggs.
I will warn you from the get go though-you and your kids may have stained hands for a day or two afterwards!
The result of these beautiful, stained glass looking Easter Eggs is so worth it though!
All you need to create these simple Easter eggs include-bleeding tissue paper, hard boiled eggs and water.
Be sure you use bleeding tissue paper-if you use gift wrapping tissue paper the color won’t transfer.

Cover the egg with tissue paper squares
If the tissue paper isn’t sticking-simply dip your fingers in the water and pat the tissue paper onto the egg
Set the eggs on a cooling rack
