You need these ingredients to dye Easter eggs in a batik look:
Hard-boiled eggs (so the shell doesn't crack during cooking)
baking powder
Water
Vinegar essence or brandy vinegar
Food coloring
Small cups or muffin tins
Paint brush
It's so easy to color Easter eggs in a batik look:
In different cups or in a muffin tin, mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a teaspoon of water and two to three drops of any food coloring.
Put the eggs in cups or in the muffin tin and brush with the color paste.
To make the eggs “bubble,” add a few splashes of vinegar essence or brandy vinegar and the magic begins!
As soon as the reaction stops, remove the Easter eggs, wash them with clean water and dry them with a paper towel.
The chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar creates individual Easter eggs with a batik look.
