Dip and Dye
Color hard-cooked eggs or emptied shells by dipping them into the dye baths. Bend the metal dipping tool included with the Paas dye kit so it creates an open-ended ladle shape. Set one egg in the loop at the bottom of the ladle, and then dip the egg into one of the colored dye baths.
Deluxe Decorating
Use the crayon included in some Paas kits -- or any crayon -- to create a wax resist before dyeing the eggs. Draw a design such as a smiley face or a monogram on the egg, and then dip it into a dye bath. Once the egg dries, rub off the wax to reveal the original egg color beneath the wax.
