How to paint eggs with onion skins evenly, with a pattern, with brilliant green. “Marbled” eggs for Easter, or how to paint eggs with brilliant green and onion skins

I have already talked about some methods of coloring eggs. Today we have a master class on marble paints coming up. Most of the preparatory manipulations can be done ahead of time, because you yourself know that there is a lot to do before the holidays. This is an interesting lesson, so learning will be fun.

Ingredients:

  • Eggs(quantity at your request)
  • Pieces of nylon tights, you can use pieces of fabric from old tulle or gauze
  • Threads
  • Onion peel

Wash the onion skins and divide them into two parts. Place one part in a saucepan with water, bring to a boil and boil for 10-15 minutes - this will be a coloring solution.

Then we chop the white paper and onion peels with scissors as finely as possible. It’s better to make more onion-paper shavings, let there be some extra. Mix. You can trim the peels and onions in advance.For a more pronounced marble effect, it is better to use onion peels of different colors (from different varieties Luke).

We also prepare old tights, knee socks or socks in advance. We cut them into squares (about 10x10 or 15x15 cm - as it turns out).

The eggs must be removed from the refrigerator in advance, at least two hours before this procedure. Better yet, take the eggs out of the refrigerator in the evening and fill them with water. room temperature.

Then take them out of the water one at a time and roll them wet in this mixture of paper and husks. Try to make sure that the entire egg is covered with either paper shavings or onion.
Then pour a little onion-paper mixture into the middle of the square of tights and put an egg in the middle of the square of tights and add more in those places where there was not enough “sprinkling”.

Connecting the corners of the square. It turns out to be a “knot”. We wrap it with threads.

We put all the “nodules” with eggs in an aluminum pan, or in a stainless steel pan - it will be easier to wash later.

Fill in cold water and add a few pinches of salt (if the eggs burst, so that the white does not spread). It is noteworthy that after the eggs lie in water for at least an hour, they do not burst. In addition, after such a procedure, hidden cracks in the eggs are clearly visible.

Cook the eggs for 10-15 minutes over low heat.
During this time, prepare a solution of brilliant green: a glass of water, a bottle of brilliant green.

It's better to do this in glass jar or in a glass. If you plan to dye a large number of eggs, then it is advisable to stock up on brilliant green in advance, since with each egg the solution “weaken” and for a better result you need to add brilliant green.
As soon as the eggs are ready, reduce the gas to low, leaving the pan on the stove. Take a tablespoon and remove the eggs one by one.


Immediately put them literally for half a minute or a minute in the green solution, immediately take them out and over a colander, under running water, “undress” our marble eggs, cutting the base of the knot with scissors. We rinse thoroughly and admire the result.

Then we put our masterpieces on a napkin and after they have dried, wipe them with a cotton pad dipped in vegetable oil.


And these are marble eggs boiled without green stuff.

And these can be made if the eggs are dipped in water and first dipped in cereal, rice or barley, and then rolled in husks and paper. Dots will also be added to the marble stains.

Happy dyeing!

Hi all. Now we will prepare a real work of art - marble eggs for Easter with brilliant green, in the husk, recipe with photos, see step by step below. A masterpiece, and nothing more.

We have some more recipes for Easter on our website, you can use them too:

And now, we will artistically decorate marble eggs for Easter with greenery, and at the same time, we will not bother with iron-on stickers or expensive dyes.

We will decorate the eggs nicely so that they look very similar to marble eggs, and we will use only onion skins and green stuff. I think that every housewife has such simple and familiar things in her house.

The result of the design, marble eggs for Easter with brilliant green, will exceed all expectations; the design will turn out to be essentially marble, with transitions of multiple shades.

And you can easily create all this at home, thanks to the means at hand.

Is it harmful to paint marble eggs with brilliant green for Easter?

There is no reason to worry. This is very safe, even if the egg shells crack a little during cooking (although we will not allow this to happen; you will find out why from the recipe).

The egg white will not be harmed when coloring marble eggs, and your fingers will remain clean if you are careful when handling the brilliant paint and follow my recommendations.

Onion peels and greens are harmless, natural and affordable dyes.

There is just one small nuance... DO NOT paint marble eggs for Easter with brilliant green in an enamel or new pan. For this purpose, some old saucepan will do, which you don’t mind, which, I have no doubt, every housewife has for such cases.

P.S. And here, I remind you that from the recipe “”, you will learn important secret how to cook it correctly.

Well, now let's look.

Cute marble-like eggs are easily prepared using such household staples as brilliant greens and onion skins. The result exceeds all expectations: the drawing turns out truly marble, with many shades and transitions - a real work of art! And all this can be easily done at home using improvised means.


Don’t be afraid to paint eggs with greenery - it’s quite safe, even if the shell cracks a little during cooking (and we will try our best to prevent this from happening). The brilliant green does not stain the egg white through the shell, and your fingers also remain clean after peeling the colored eggs. You just need to be careful when handling the substance; it is not so easily washed off. You can also find improvised materials in every home, and the process of cutting and wrapping Easter eggs can captivate restless children. The only difficulty is keeping all the eggs intact, but this will be discussed in the recipe itself. Let “Marble” eggs for Easter become a traditional decoration for the holiday table, along with elegant Easter cakes.

In order to beautifully and unusually paint eggs you will need:

1 jar of greenery;

onion peel (1 packet);

1 tbsp. salt;

threads;

toothpick;

wide bandage;

gloves;

scissors;

a pair of notebook sheets;

large wide saucepan;

water;

vegetable oil for rubbing.



HOW TO PAINT EGGS IN ZELENKA AND ONION SKULLS

1. For coloring at home, we use only white eggs; the pattern and color appear much better on them. As a last resort, you can take brown ones, but then the pattern will be darker and without pronounced white veins, which create the marbling effect. Before cooking, carefully wash all the eggs and check for small cracks in the shell.


2. Cut the paper into small pieces. I used notebook sheets, you can take white A4 - there is no difference. The only thing is do not use colored printed materials.


3. We also chop the onion peel and mix everything. Cutting paper and husks is not a quick task; the pieces must be small in order for the design to come out more beautiful. But the more carelessly they are cut, the more interesting the pattern will be. You can involve children in the process, cut out triangles, squares, circles or even snowflakes with them. Here you can give free rein to your imagination to make the drawing look unusual. If you cut out, for example, snowflakes, you can make them large, the size of an egg. By the way, you can roll eggs not only in onion peels and pieces of paper. Interesting option- grains of rice, sprigs of fresh herbs.


4. Prepare the gauze: fold a small piece into 3-4 layers. The egg should fit freely in the gauze so that it can be tied into a knot.


5. Wet the eggs in water and roll them in a mixture of paper and husks. Immediately move to the center of the bandage.


6. Roll up the bandage: lift all four corners and connect them in the center so that the mosaic on the egg does not move. Tie tightly with thread.


7. Place in a pan in one dense layer. It is better to take a container made of stainless steel, since an enameled one may not be washed off after such chemical experiments. Stainless steel can be washed in two minutes.


8. Fill the gauze bags with water so that it covers the eggs. But they should not float freely, since during cooking these movements are fraught with the appearance of cracks. By the way, water is poured into the pan at the same temperature as the eggs. If they were recently taken from the refrigerator, then the water should be cold. Conversely, if the eggs were at room temperature, take warm water. Temperature changes are one of the reasons for the formation of cracks in the shell.


9. Now add brilliant green to the water. A 10 ml bottle is enough for a dozen eggs. Be careful when opening the cap of the green stuff, as the substance may spill. Zelenka is not so easy to wash off; it is a strong dye. Therefore, either use protective gloves or purchase bottles with a convenient cap. There is no need to stir the brilliant green, it quickly dissolves in water. Add additional salt to the water, this will also reduce the risk of cracks.


10. And the last secret: add a toothpick to the pan. Fun fact: If you boil eggs with a toothpick, they won't crack. Cook the eggs with the greens for 15-20 minutes after boiling. During this time, they will definitely be completely cooked, and the pattern will be well fixed on the shell. Important: after the water boils, it is better to reduce the heat to medium.

To easily remove the shell from an egg, there is one trick: after cooking, place the pan under running water. Pour it hot first to avoid sudden temperature changes. Gradually reduce the water temperature. When the pan is filled with cold water, let the eggs sit for 3-5 minutes. This simple procedure makes cleaning much easier. By the way, ordinary eggs can be immediately placed in cold water. But since we're cooking holiday option, do not be lazy and preserve the integrity of the shell.


11. Ready eggs We remove from the pan wearing protective gloves so that the skin of our hands does not become stained. Now you need to carefully cut off the gauze bag, remove the wrapper and thoroughly rinse the egg in water. All that remains is to grate the shell vegetable oil: moisten a cotton pad with a drop and use polishing movements to process Easter eggs. Now they shine beautifully and can be moved to festive table. Under the marble shell there is pure boiled protein; the dye does not penetrate the shell. It also doesn’t stain your hands when cleaning. Here’s an interesting and safe way to color eggs: everything is natural and at no extra cost.


12. Beautiful eggs in onion skins ready. Bon appetit and Happy Easter!

Marble eggs Ready for Happy Easter!



If simple recipe You will find it useful in coloring Easter eggs, I’ll be glad!
Happy upcoming holiday of Happy EASTER! Peace and goodness to you! Sincerely, Mila

With your own hands using various techniques. Some of them are designed for eating, while others are for admiring.

And when you know so many ways, you always want to do one thing, and another, and a third before the holiday comes... But this is impossible! You need to choose one, or two, or at most three options.

One of my favorite ways is to make marble paints. And this is no coincidence. When you see such beauty for the first time, you are simply speechless. And you can’t even understand how this happens?! Then, having found the recipe, you begin to paint, and it is the turn of all your family, relatives and friends to marvel at the beauty.

And if you look at it all, the method is quite simple. There is nothing complicated about it. In addition, a big plus is that you don’t have to buy dyes in the store. For this purpose, any home always has everything. Namely, you need nothing at all: in one case, only onion skins, and in the other, also some green stuff.

Although there are, of course, alternative methods of coloring. And we will try to consider all of them today.

Many of my girlfriends and friends, seeing marble paints on my table, invariably ask for the recipe. When they find out what's what, they are always surprised that everything is so simple. So I decided to write recipes today so that everyone can paint like this. And to make everything clear, we also made a video.

Yes, yes, we have something new. Now we film many recipes. For your comfort. So read the recipes and watch the videos. And I will be glad if you subscribe to the channel.

We will need:

  • eggs – 6 pcs.
  • brilliant green – 10 ml
  • onion peel
  • salt – 1 tbsp. spoon
  • gauze or nylon
  • threads

And also prepare gloves so that you don’t get your hands dirty during the cooking process. And also an old saucepan in which we will paint.


Preparation:

1. Remove eggs from the refrigerator in advance. They must cool at room temperature so that the shell does not burst due to a sudden change in temperature during cooking.

For all methods, use a white-shelled base product. In this case, the drawing will be clearer and more visible.

2. Prepare onion skins. To get a richer color, you need to have it in different colors. Use dry yellow and red onion skins. And in yellow, try to add different shades, even dark brown.


Start preparing the husks ahead of time. When peeling onions, simply put them in a bag. This will give you a different color, and it will also dry well. And as a result it will give an even more saturated color.

3. Now our task is to grind it as finely as possible. This usually takes quite a lot of time. There is one way to do this quite quickly.


Simply place all the dry substance in a deep bowl and use the tips of scissors to cut it directly into the bowl. Let me remind you that the smaller you cut, the richer the marble pattern will turn out. The required size should ideally be 0.5 - 0.7 cm.

As you can see, we ended up with a fine mixture of different colors, which is very good.

4. Cut gauze or nylon into squares in such a way as to place the workpiece in them and tie them in a knot. We will need them exactly according to the number of the main ingredient.


If you take nylon, the color will be more even and uniform. If you use gauze, then in addition to the main pattern, a fine mesh will also be imprinted from it. But it will not be superfluous, and on the contrary, it will add an additional pattern and design.

5. Soak the egg in water. Then place in the husk and roll in it so that it tightly adheres to the shell.


6. Place it on cheesecloth. If in your opinion the husk was not enough, then you can sprinkle a little more on top.


7. Gather the ends of the gauze from above, rotating the bag in one direction and forming a tourniquet. Pull it tightly and tie it with threads. You can simply wrap them around the gauze several times so that it does not unwind during cooking.


The husk should fit tightly to the shell so that there is absolutely no movement. Otherwise, the drawing will turn out blurry.

8. Cut off the excess ends so that they do not take on the paint, and place our workpiece in a pan.


As for the pan. Take her old one so that you don’t feel sorry for it. Zelenka gives a fairly durable color. Of course, you can wash it later, but not with all means. Therefore, it is better to play it safe.

9. Do the same with the remaining eggs. Today I will paint 6 pieces. You can paint more at once. But if there are more than a dozen of them, then take two bottles of brilliant green, that is, 20 mg. And more onion skins. For such a number of colors you will need more water. This means that from one bottle of greenery the color will not be as bright as we would like.


10. Pour room temperature water into the pan. Cold - do not pour. Be aware of temperature differences. And also add salt, it will protect the shell from cracking.

Pour in enough water to just cover our pieces. The less water, the brighter the color.

11. Put on fire, put on gloves and immediately pour out all the green stuff. Install medium heat and bring the water to a boil. After this, cook for 7 - 8 minutes. This time is quite enough for our product to cook until ready, and also for the shell to acquire a marble color.


12. Drain the water, then place the pan under running water and wait until it turns light.

13. Now the “dirtiest” work. Be sure to wear gloves for her. It is necessary to cut off the tied end of the gauze and remove the husk from the shell. Then rinse each dye again under running water and place it on a plate to dry.


You always unfold each of them with bated breath. After all, everywhere there is a different intricate pattern, unlike any other. And somewhere a picture is even drawn. Overall great! What can I say?


14. When our paints are dry, they need to be wiped with oil. This will make them even more beautiful. They will sparkle, glow, and become truly festive and beautiful.


At first, the oil will be visible on the shell, but over time, it will be absorbed and will no longer leave marks on your hands when you clean the shell.


This is such a simple and at the same time beautiful way of coloring. Looking at the result, I would like to say that “everything ingenious is simple.”

Video on how to paint eggs with brilliant green and peel

And here is the promised video. It explains and shows everything in detail. The whole process resembles some kind of alchemical magic. As a result, we get as many as 6 marble “philosophical” eggs. Well, isn't this a miracle!

It must also be said that the whole process is very exciting, it is truly creative. You don't notice how time flies.

That's the whole recipe.

And you see that in the headband on the central egg there is a figurine of a horse imprinted, similar to an ancient rock carving or petroglyph. We took this as a great sign. What do you think it could mean?

How to make marble eggs - the easiest way

If we figured out the first recipe, then coloring the main Easter symbol this way will be even easier and simpler. Essentially the recipe is the same. But the ingredients only contain green stuff. Therefore, I will not describe it in detail, but will only focus on the most basic points.

The method involves coloring with onion skins.

We will need:

  • onion peel
  • salt – 1 – 2 tbsp. spoons
  • gauze or nylon
  • threads

Preparation:

1. Cut the onion peel into small pieces. Let me remind you that the most effective coloring can be achieved when the dry onion skin has a variety of colors.

For additional effect, you can add finely chopped paper to this mixture.

2. “Bathe” eggs at room temperature in water and roll in prepared onion dressing.


3. Place them in this form on gauze or nylon cut into squares. Then wind the ends into a bundle and tie tightly with thread, or simply wrap it in several circles so that nothing falls apart.


4. Place them in a saucepan, add water at room temperature and add the remaining husks. And also don’t forget to add salt so that the shell remains intact and unharmed.

5. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat for 35 - 40 minutes.

6. Drain hot water and place the contents under cold running water. Then release the marble dyes from the gauze and husks, and rinse again.

7. Let the water drain and dry. Then brush with oil to further decorate our Easter treat.

Place on a plate and wait for the holiday.

Beautiful marble paints with your own hands

This is another way to get marbled coloring, but with a different pattern. We will use onion peels and rice for this.

We will need:

  • onion peel
  • salt 1 - 2 tbsp. spoons
  • nylon or gauze
  • threads

Preparation:

1. Place rice in a flat bowl. Depending on what shape of rice you choose, this is the pattern you will get.


2. Soak eggs at room temperature in water and roll in rice. It should stick its grains around the white shell.

3. Place the resulting workpiece on gauze or nylon, pre-cut into squares of the required size. And, having connected the ends, roll them into a rope very tightly, wrap them or tie them with threads.

4. Place all the pieces prepared in this way into the pan. Add onion peels. There is no need to cut it.

Pour water at room temperature and place over medium heat. Yes, and don’t forget to add salt. Thanks to her, the shell should remain intact.

5. Bring to a boil and then cook for 35 - 40 minutes.

6. Then drain the water and rinse under running water. Remove the cheesecloth and rice and rinse again.


When the paints are dry, they can be greased with oil.

The same method can be applied using smaller grains, such as millet. But in this case, the result will no longer be marble paints, but mottled speckles. But the method is also good!

If you want, you can paint it this way.


Moreover, you can use not only husks for this, but also food coloring. However, the same as when dyeing with rice.


Either way you can get great results.

How to paint eggs for Easter without green paint

It is not difficult to guess that the methods proposed above can also be used when coloring with colored food dyes. You can cut white paper very finely and roll an egg soaked in water in it. Then place it in a nylon and tie it. Then paint it using dyes of different colors. You will get colored marble paints.


But I want to offer one more method, which will differ from those proposed above both in the method of execution and in obtaining the result.

We will need:

  • food colors light and dark colors
  • vegetable oil

Preparation:

1. Color eggs at room temperature using food coloring in light shades of colors. This should be done in accordance with the instructions on the package. Ideal colors include yellow, all light shades of pink, orange, pale blue and light green.


2. Rinse them with cold water and let dry.

3. Dilute dark colors with water. They should be in sharp contrast to light shades. These are purple, dark blue, dark green, burgundy and so on. One color must be diluted in each separate container.

4. Pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil into each dark color. Now the fun begins. We will use a toothpick to draw different paths, curls and circles on the liquid with oil. You don't have to be shy about creativity. The more design you apply here, the more clearly it will appear on the paint.

5. Now you should definitely wear rubber gloves. Take a colored light egg and in one clear movement simply dip it into the chosen dark paint.


Place on a wire rack and let dry. Then wipe with vegetable oil. You can use a cotton pad for this.

And here is another chic design, where gold food paint is applied to the main background using the method suggested above. The design turned out great.


This is another beautiful and impressive way to decorate a colorful treat for the holiday.

Beautiful Easter eggs - an original way

There is another way in which you can achieve the desired effect. But in this case marble effect will appear not on the shell, but on the protein itself.

It's pretty simple. Most likely, everyone is familiar with this picture: when you color eggs using any of the methods, and it cracks, a colored line remains on the white. So you don’t have to wait for it to crack. And apply cracks in advance. But this must be done, of course, on a cooked product.


And since the dye will penetrate inside and color the protein, it means it needs to be made more “tasty” than onion skins.

We will need:

  • boiled eggs
  • black tea bags
  • soy sauce
  • cinnamon
  • star anise or anise

Preparation:

1. Make cracks in the pre-cooked eggs in a loose pattern. Make sure that the shell does not fall off, otherwise the effect will be lost. It should stick to the inner film.


2. Place them in a saucepan with water at room temperature and bring to a boil.

3. Place 5 black tea bags, two tablespoons, in hot water soy sauce, two cinnamon sticks and one bud of star anise (or you can take another fragrant seasoning). This amount is given for approximately 6 - 7 eggs.

4. Bring to a boil and cook for 35 minutes. Then cool in cold water, dry.

Serve already peeled.


The same effect can be achieved by coloring the product with food or natural dyes.


As you can see from the photo, the effect is also magnificent.

How to make marble staining without brilliant green and onion skins

This method differs from the previous ones in that the coloring uses a product of chemical origin, namely nail polish.


Although I do not welcome this method at all, but since it exists, it means that it cannot be ignored. Therefore, I will describe it very briefly, as they say for information.

1. Boil white eggs and cool.

2. Pour some water into a bowl that you don’t mind, or better yet, into an unnecessary jar. Drip nail polish into it. You can use only one color, or you can use several different ones.

If you take several flowers, then drip them one by one into the center, one on top of the other.

3. Then take a toothpick and draw streaks, paths, wavy lines and circles on the water. Give free rein to your imagination and don’t think too much about what you will succeed. The more lines and shapes, the better.


4. Be sure to wear gloves for the next procedure. Take the egg by both ends, and carefully dip one of the sides into the resulting picture with varnish.

Then turn it over to the other side and repeat the procedure. Now he needs to dry out. And basically, that's all. The result is colorful marble stains.


And at the end of the article I want to tell you where this tradition of coloring eggs came from. They have been painted since ancient times and in different cultures. Because they believed that they were the basis of the foundations, and everything came from their depths.

And in Christian culture, there is a legend that tells that at the moment of the Resurrection of Christ, the stones on Calvary mysteriously turned red. Therefore, eggs are considered a symbol of the Resurrection of the Lord. And therefore it is customary to paint them to this day on one of the main Christian holidays -.

I hope you find today's selection useful for this holiday.

Congratulations on the upcoming holiday! And I wish you all the best!
