Number Of Ingredients 6

Enamel hobby paints: green, lavender, and purple, or colors of your choice
Disposable aluminum roasting pans, one for each color combination
Rubber gloves
Wooden skewers
Blown eggs , as many as desired, clean and dry
Coffee filters

Steps:

  • 1. Decide the color or combinations you want to use-you may use one or more colors of paint for each marbling bath.
  • 2. For each bath, fill a roasting pan with about 4 inches of water. Put on the rubber gloves. Add about 1 teaspoon of each color paint in the chosen combination. Swirl the end of a skewer through the paint.
  • 3. Place an egg on the end of a skewer. Swirl it around through the paint and water. When the paint has adhered to the egg in a marbled pattern, remove the egg from the skewer to an egg carton and let it dry.
  • 4. Repeat this process for each egg, using the different color marbleizing baths as you wish.
  • 5. To dispose of paint responsibly, pour each bath slowly through a coffee filter, letting the water drain down the sink and capturing the paint. Throw away the paint.
