Welcome, dear friends, to another weekend of Easter crafting! I have really been enjoying trying out different ways to color Easter Eggs. The ideas are endless. Gosh, when I was a kid, we only ever colored eggs the old fashioned way with vinegar water and food coloring, and I thought that was amazing. Now there are so many awesome, creative Easter Egg decorating ideas out there, it’s hard to choose which ones to create! Today, I’m going to take you along on a step by step tutorial on how to make Shaving Cream Easter Eggs
This Egg coloring technique is very easy and with a couple simple ingredients. and a bit of creativity, you will soon transform ordinary eggs into vibrant works of art. I can hear all the “ooooouuuuu’s & ahhhhhh’s” now! Your kids will love this Easter craft, and you will love how quick and easy it is.
So, grab your coffee and your little ones and let’s get crafting!
Shaving Cream Easter Eggs
WHAT YOU NEED
- hard boiled eggs
- food coloring (we like using the NEON colors)
- shaving cream
- skewer for swirling colors
- small bowls
What To Do
Step 1
The first step is to fill each bowl with enough shaving cream to cover the egg. I like using individual bowls in order to make several different color combinations. You could also put shaving cream on a baking sheet if you want to use all the same color.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to add some color to your shaving cream canvas! Grab your food coloring and drip a few drops of each color onto the shaving cream. Feel free to get creative with your color combinations – the more vibrant, the better!
Step 3
Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the colors into the shaving cream to create really cool patterns and designs. Don’t overmix – a few swirls will do the trick! Be sure the skewer goes to the bottom of the bowl as you swirl the colors. That way the entire egg will get colored
Step 4
Once you’re happy with your colorful swirls, it’s time to add your eggs! Carefully place each hard-boiled egg onto the shaving cream surface, then gently fold some shaving cream over the egg until it’s fully coated with the colorful mixture. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the egg for maximum effect.
Step 5
After covering your eggs with the colored shaving cream, set them aside and allow the shaving cream to work its magic. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the colors to penetrate the eggshell and create vibrant, marbled designs.
Once the time is up, it’s time to reveal your masterpiece. Run the egg under cool water to gently remove the shaving cream and place on a paper towel to dry.
Aren’t they stunning? I hope you’ve enjoyed creating these beautiful eggs as much as I have. I’m looking forward to trying some more fun egg coloring techniques.
From my crafting corner to yours, I’m wishing you a Happy Easter filled with love, laughter, and lots of colorful eggs!
Until next time
