Decorate your house, tree, or front door with colorful rice-filled Easter Eggs.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The process is easy (though it’s tricky\u00a0to get the rice around those those little eyelets up top.)
\nFollow the same steps in our Split Pea Shamrocks Tutorial<\/a>, only cut out small ovals to make eggs. You can easily create an oval in a Word doc or other computer program and print out the size you want.
\n\"\"<\/a>The fun part of course is dyeing white rice to create all your beautiful Easter colors. Use whatever food coloring you’d like. I tried it with the cheap grocery store stuff and it works fine too. But I’ve had my eye on these for a while. And when you use a coupon from Jo-Ann’s, the whole box of Wilton’s Icing Colors<\/a> only cost me $5:
\n\"\"<\/a>Such pretty potential.
\n\"\"<\/a>Take a dab of food coloring (or a few drops):
\n\"\"<\/a>And mix it in a bowl with a bit of water. I tried putting drops of food coloring directly into the rice but it didn’t dye evenly; it was splotchy. Just add a bit of water:
\n\"\"<\/a>Then pour in your white rice (brown rice would probably work too):
\n\"\"<\/a>Then stir it all around:
\n\"\"<\/a>Play with the water content and food coloring to find the best tone. If the color is too bright, add more water to the bowl and pour a little out into the sink. Or vice versa. Or add more rice. It’s not a precise science.
\n\"\"<\/a>When you’re done, lay each rice color out to dry. If there was a lot of water in your mixture, pour off as much water as you can. This will help it dry faster and more evenly.
\n\"\"<\/a>Then take pictures of your rice just because it looks pretty.
\n\"\"<\/a>When the rice has dried (could be as soon as a hour or two, or overnight), fill your eggs up and sew them shut.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Then hang them up!
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>If you’d like to make a color-changing eggs, it’s a bit tedious. But here you go. Dye rice in varying shades of the same color family:
\n\"\"<\/a>Sew about 1\/2 way around the outside of your egg, then sew horizontal lines, equal distance apart. Leave the ends open for rice. With a pen, end of a spoon, etc. push the rice down into each section. When you’ve filled the egg, carefully sew it shut.
\n\"\"<\/a>Lovely blues:
\n\"\"<\/a>Happy Easter!
