With the price of eggs so high, you might want to consider these wooden craft eggs instead this year.

How to Make Galaxy Eggs

Make sure you are starting with dry, hard-boiled eggs that are cooled completely.

Paint the egg black, this will take 3 coats. Let dry. This forms the base coat for your galaxy Easter eggs.

Using a sponge, dab a bit of royal blue paint onto the egg.

Next, take the teal while the blue paint is still wet and dab a separate sponge on top of the blue.

Next use the pink.

Then highlight with the gold.

Let the eggs dry.

Mix the white paint with a drop or two of water and dip the toothbrush into the paint. Flick the bristles so that the white paint splatters onto the eggs. {this can be messy…. I did mine in a cardboard box to cut down on the mess.}

Let dry completely overnight.

My galaxy Easter eggs will look gorgeous in any Easter basket or as a centerpiece on your Easter buffet.

Do Easter Eggs dye better warm or cold?

The temperature of the eggs doesn't matter for dying them - although I'd recommend letting them cool so that they're easier to handle. However, make sure you are starting with DRY hard-boiled eggs because extra moisture can mess up the dyeing process.

Is it okay to dye cracked eggs?

I do not recommend eating any cracked eggs that have been dyed because bacteria can get into those cracks and make you sick. However, in terms of decorating only, it is fine to use cracked eggs.
