What You’ll Need

Hard Boiled Eggs
White Coffee Filters
Rubber Bands
Egg Dieing kit (just the tablets from it and the vinegar)
Eye Droppers or Straws
Cups to Hold the Food Coloring
Newspaper
Green Pipe Cleaners

Instructions

Cover your working area with newspaper. Prepare the Egg Dieing kit by following the instructions. Next place an egg inside a coffee filter and close it up around the egg using a rubber band. Using the eye dropper or the straw by holding the end to pick up one drop of dye at a time, drop your choice of colors on the coffee filtered egg. Once you have drenched your egg with the colors you chose. Let it set while you move to the next egg. When all the eggs are colored go back to the first egg and take the rubber band off and the coffee filter off and you will have a Tie Died Egg.

Once the coffee filters are dry (from the Tie Dye craft) you can layer them to make a flower. Bunch them up in the middle and tie off with a rubber band. While you are tying it off with a rubber band you can rubber band it around a green pipe cleaner. This will form a flower. If you wish leave off the pipe cleaner add a safety pin and you have a corsage for Mom.
