I know that Easter has come and gone, but I wanted to share the eggs I made this year! I've shared before that I looooove pysanky eggs. I think they're beyond gorgeous.
What is pysanky? In the simplest of terms: you dye eggs multiple times adding wax at each layer to preserve the various colors. If you can't quite visualize it, there's a clear photo step-out post on a Ukranian website here.
Inspired by pysanky but looking for an easier process, I made these pysanky inspired Easter Egg Place Cards…
…for my Passover seder:
I started with a carton of hard boiled eggs and a package of dye cups.
Put the pellets into the cups and then add vinegar and water and you've got dye:
I applied vinyl letters to each of the eggs and threw them into the dye. After a while, I added new vinyl shapes to each of the eggs and kept throwing them into different dye baths. Once I had peeled all of the vinyl off, I had a collection of gorgeous eggs!
I am definitely going to play with this idea again because I looooooove how they turned out! AND they were a big hit at Passover. Everyone was tickled to get an edible place card!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love them! Did you use the Scan and Cut to make the vinyl stencils for the names and designs? They are the most creative and lovely place cards ever. I loved how you incorporated the egg into your beautiful Passover table. Lovely! Thanks for sharing and continuing to inspire to make everyday things so visually interesting.
