Dyed Paper Experiments

We're busy moving into our first home over Easter weekend (Hooray!), so my son and I dyed our Easter Eggs early this year. We only colored 5 hard boiled eggs- that's plenty for my little guy. So we ended up having a lot of dye left over, but I just couldn't bring myself to throw it away. Why waste such beautiful vibrant colors? I knew there had to be something else I could use them for...... 



Hence, my dyed paper experiments. Dyeing paper is in no way a novel concept, but I had never tried it with vinegar egg dye before and it was fun! Plus I got some cool looking designs out of it!

So here's a rundown of my three experiments on plain white card stock:

1. Dripping dye on dry paper with a medicine dropper.... 


2. Dripping dye on wet paper with a medicine dropper.... 


3. Soaking paper, crumpling it up, and dipping it in the dye.. tie-dye style

Have a Happy Easter everyone and don't be afraid to re-use your egg dye!
