When you have double-checked your lines, dip the egg in the Yellow dye. Wait 15 minutes, or until egg has reached the desired shade (REMEMBER: NO LONGER THAN 45 MINUTES!), then remove it from the dye, and dab it dry.

Apply the lines you see here - do not apply all of the lines you
drew out with the pencil! These were meant as guidelines only.
Use the fine and heavy kistky. Apply the lines with
long, straight strokes, on both sides of the egg! Remember to
test the wax flow from the
kistka on newspaper before you write on the egg. When you have double-checked your lines, dip the egg in the Yellow dye. Wait 15 minutes, or until egg has reached the desired shade (REMEMBER: NO LONGER THAN 45 MINUTES!), then remove it from the dye, and dab it dry. |

Use the heavy kistka. When you have double-checked your lines, dip the egg in the Orange dye. I find taking this extra step makes the red show up better. Wait 15-20 minutes, or until the desired shade is reached. Remove the egg, and dab it dry. Let it sit about 10 minutes or so, then put it in the Bright Red dye. Wait 15-20 minutes, or until the desired shade is reached. Remove the egg, and dab it dry. |
