Tips for Success:
✅ Let Refrigerated Eggs Rest – If storing eggs in the fridge after decorating, let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before handling to prevent smudging. ✅ Use Liquid Food Dye Only – Gel or oil-based dyes won’t spread properly on the coffee filters. ✅ Hard-Bristled Toothbrush Works Best – A stiff brush creates better star-like splatters than a soft one. ✅ Gloves Help Avoid Stains – Food dye can stain hands, so gloves make cleanup easier. ✅ One Dye Pack Goes a Long Way – A single set of food dyes will color multiple eggs. ✅ Quick-Dry Craft Paint is Best – Using fast-drying paint reduces wait time before handling. ✅ Try on Brown Eggs for Deeper Colors – The process works the same, but the results will be richer and darker. ✅ Experiment with Colors – Add black or a touch of metallic paint for a more dramatic galaxy effect! ✅ Store Eggs Safely – Keep decorated eggs in the fridge if you plan to eat them later. These tips will help make the process smoother and ensure the best results! 🚀🥚✨Nutrition
