Steps:
- Place several hard-boiled eggs in a colander in the kitchen sink and splash them with the vinegar.
- Drip food coloring on the eggs (I recommended 2 or 3 eggs at a time).
- Gently agitate the colander for a few seconds to help the color spread. Let the color set on the eggs for 30 seconds.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 with up to two shades (any more and your colors may get muddy), allowing each to set for 30 seconds.
- After the last color has set, give the eggs a light rinse with water and let them drain for a minute or two. Air-dry them on paper towels.

Tips:
- Use hard-boiled eggs. This will prevent the eggs from cracking when you dye them.
- Use food-safe dyes. You can find these at most grocery stores.
- Prepare your workspace. Cover your work surface with newspaper or plastic wrap to protect it from dye stains.
- Wear gloves. This will protect your hands from the dye.
- Be creative! You can use different colors and techniques to create unique designs on your eggs.
