5. Natural Dye
Use the color chart below to create all natural tones. try using natural dyes. Combine the dye with 1/2 Tablespoon of vinegar with some cold water in a saucepan. Add raw eggs (make sure there's enough water to cover the eggs) and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. The longer you simmer, the darker the color will be, but simmer
at least 8 minutes so that the eggs cook thoroughly.

Another Natural Method...
This will create a beautiful marbled effect.Wrap the uncooked eggs in Onion skins both white an purple, spinach, or fresh saffron.Use white string to secure the wrap and then place the eggs in the foot of an old nylon stocking...tie a knot and bowl the whole shebang, using the cooking times above...don't forget the vinegar. Leave the eggs in the wrap for awhile.
When you untie them they will all look different.

Color chart: 
Brown - the outer layers of onions, tea or coffee 
Yellow - turmeric or saffron 
Red - cranberries 
Purple - beets, purple onion skin
Green - spinach 
Blue - blueberries 

6. Rubber Band Designs
Wrap elastic bands around hard cooked eggs, then drop them in food-coloring dye. Remove eggs, pat dry with paper towel and remove rubber bands. The parts of the egg covered with rubber bands will not be colored. Once the rubber bands are removed, you can drop the egg into a different color dye. 

7. Painted Eggs
Use undiluted food coloring and a paint brush to paint on hard boiled eggs. Let the eggs sit in egg cups until dry. You can also use acrylic paints in place of food coloring. 
Do NOT eat eggs that have been painted!
                                
8. Sponge Painted Eggs
Cut a sponge into small pieces. 
Pour some acrylic paint into a shallow dish or onto wax paper.
Clip the sponge pieces onto clothes pins, one for each color of paint. Dip the sponge into the paint and dab the egg with it. Start with your darker colors first for the best effect.
Put the egg in an egg cup to dry. 
Tips: I prefer to sponge paint with natural sponge.
You can find them at craft stores or a paint supply. 
Do NOT eat eggs that have been painted!

9. Waxing Eggs
Drip wax from a lit taper candle onto the egg.
After the wax is set, drop the egg into food coloring dye. 
Remove from dye and pat dry. You can scrape the wax off and dip into another dye, or leave the wax on if you wish. 

10. Marbled Eggs
In a mug or jar large enough to contain one egg, place 1 Tablespoon of oil, 1 Tablespoon of vinegar and 1 Tablespoon of food coloring. Add enough water to cover egg, stir quickly with a spoon and drop in hard boiled egg. Pull egg out quickly and pat dry with paper towel. 

11. Face Eggs
Use craft supplies such as yarn, ribbon and fabric scraps
to create the members of your family. Attach with craft glue.
Add facial features using permanent markers for the mouth, nose and eyes. Then cut a paper towel tube into different heights for Mom, Dad, sister etc. Decorate the tube with construction paper for clothing. Place the painted egg onto the holder. You can also add the individual's name to the tube. These make an entertaining name card for the Easter table.
                                          
12. Easter Bunny Eggs
Use food coloring dye or natural dyes to dye eggs in solid colors.
Dry with paper towel. For each bunny egg, cut two oval shaped ears
from colored paper. Glue the ears to the top of the egg.
Add googely eyes. Use markers to add a small triangle for
a nose and some whiskers. Glue on a cotton ball for a tail.
