Tie-Dye Tuffets
save
What you'll need
- 2 coffee filters
- Egg dye in various colors
- 1-inch-tall segment of cardboard tube
- White glue
Bonus Idea! Don't toss the coffee-filter
trimmings from the tuffets; instead,
use them to make pretty collage
eggs. Simply brush hard-boiled
eggs with watered-down white
glue, stick on the trimmings, and
brush the eggs with another coat of
glue. Let them dry for an hour.
How to make it
Fold each filter into quarters and dip its edges and point into a different-color dye. Unfold the filters and let them dry on a paper towel or draped over an empty egg carton.
When the filters are dry, fold them again and snip fringe along the edges. If you plan to make the collage eggs below, reserve the trimmings.
Lay each filter flat. Lightly coat the outside of a tube segment with glue, then put it at the filter's center. Gather the filter around the tube, adhering it to the sides. Repeat with the other filter. (For small eggs, double up the tube segments, fitting one inside the other.)
