You need:

• a bigger potato halves or a glass with sand
• a candle and an old spoon
• boiled eggs
• Bees or candle grease
• Pin with synthetic material head
• Wood stick or pin
• an Easter egg colour
• firm feathers with designs cutted before
• old cup for Easter egg colour

Halving the potato and putting with the slippery side on the table. Bending the spoon by 90 degrees so that candles or beeswax can be given in the spoon. Sting spoons with the handle into the potato or in the glass with sand . Putting the candle under the spoon so that the wax is heated up. Plug the pin in the pen or wood sticks. Dipping the head of the needle into the hot wax now and bring patterns like points or lines on the egg. The wax immediately gets solid on the eggshell, therefore a quiet hand is in demand. Then there where the wax is on this, the egg accepts no more wobbling colour.

Putting then in the prepared Easter egg colour, if the egg is decorated with the desired sample. The egg must be covered completely.

Tip: Cold Easter egg colour does not change colour as good as warm egg color.

After coloring put the egg on a tissue for drying

Removing the wax of the dried eggs at the end. Turning the egg in a flame slowly and wiping the wax off with a tissue. If it should not work so well at the first try ... Practice makes perfect!
