Dying the eggs is very easy and its results are really magnificent. Dye an eggshell and you can use it dozens of ways! I have two basic uses of it but I am sure you will find a lot more after going through this instructable. All you need is broken Eggshells, washed and dried thoroughly and you may begin!

IDEA no 1: Making Egg-candles and Egg-floating Candles!
Things you will need:
Eggshells (of course! :p)
For making Dye:
Water 1 cup
White vinegar 1 tbs
Food color 1 tsp
For making Candles:
Old candle
Candle Wick
Gel Wax
How to make Dye:
Mix water, vinegar and food color in a bowl, mix well.
Put in some eggshells. You can use half eggshells or full, its upto you.
Keep them soaking for half hour.
Note: Another recipe:
You can use Fabric dyes instead of food color, as they can wash away in water more easily. Use same amount of color and water described above but omit the vinegar.
The outer part of shell will be of lighter color than of inner.
You can also dye only inner part by filling eggshell with dye-water.
