First, if you get dye on your hands make a paste out of baking soda and wash your hands using that. It will remove the dye. It make take a few washings, but it will come off. Second, cover the table in saran wrap to keep from dying the table or table cloth. I'd suggest removing the table cloth before you begin. And I've never tried it, but my husband's Slavic grandmother used to make the eggs with the beautiful wax designs. I'm told she used to melt the wax (I think she used a double broiler to melt it and keep it hot) and dip a needle in the wax and use that to draw the designs on the eggs. Of course, having someone else do it for you is easier and less mess. I don't even hard boil the eggs for my kids anymore. We dye the uncooked eggs and put them back in the fridge when were done since no one ever ate the hard boiled eggs when we made them.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353696433987975754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-72498669733201957352014-04-28T11:05:54.086-07:002014-04-28T11:05:54.086-07:00Hey!
