Marbleized Eggs for your Easter Dinner Centerpiece
We all know how important presentation can be at a dining table, especially when it’s an occasion. So we have teamed up with our friends at Martha Stewart, to help you create a very chic and fabulous centerpiece that will make your day perfect!
So here are the steps to create your marbleized Easter Egg centerpiece:
Step 1
With an egg blower, pierce the top and bottom of each egg, puncturing the yolk; carefully expel the contents. Rinse, and let dry.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 cups warm water, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and a few drops of food coloring. Place egg in dye, and leave it submerged until it turns the desired shade.
Step 3
In a wide, shallow bowl, prepare a second batch of dye- which will provide the swirls- in a darker shade or a different color. Liquid should be 1/2 inch deep. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Run a fork through this mixture, creating curlicues of oil on the surface.
Step 4
As oil swirls, place dyed egg in mixture, and roll it once around the bowl to pick up oil streaks; remove the egg.
Step 5
Gently pat egg with a paper towel.
Step 6
Let it dry. You can experiment with color combinations: Vary the base tints and the swirls to achieve striking contrasts, subtle shadings, or multitude richness.
From all at Roberts Crafts, we hope you have a great day!
Happy Easter!
