At Easter, no egg stays white or brown, a colorful celebration is coming up!
Felt pens cover the eggs in a colorful coat with a great gradient.
Home-colored Easter eggs are as much a part of Easter as the Easter bunny, the hidden nest or traditional Easter cookies.
It is a custom that has existed for countless years and is passed down from generation to generation.
The whole family can join in the colorful fun and ring in the peaceful holidays together.
The small DIY project can also be implemented spontaneously.
The missing egg color that you completely forgot about the last time you went shopping can easily be replaced with felt-tip pens.

With the right techniques, household helpers become Easter egg dyers, ensuring that no nest is left empty.
Food from the kitchen naturally colors the eggs, baking powder and vinegar give Easter eggs a batik look.
The version with pens is no less colorful and is practically very easy to implement.
The small works of art can then be placed on the Easter table, where they are in good hands next to delicious stuffed egg chicks and grandma's Easter bread.
The felt-tip pens are not only used for writing Easter cards, they are also suitable for coloring Easter eggs.
