• Crayons - Try drawing dots and lines on a hard-boiled egg before dipping it into the dye. The wax from the crayon keeps the dye from getting through and that usually results in crayon-tastic designs.
  
  
• Candle Wax - Get an adult to light a candle and help you drop little wax dots and lines on a hard-boiled egg. After you dip the egg in dye, you can scrape off the wax and you'll see that they dye didn't get through those areas. Or you can leave the wax on for a really cool effect.

Recipe for food coloring egg dye: 1/2 cup boiling water, 30 to 40 drops of food coloring and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Allow mixture to cool completely before dipping hard-boilded eggs.

The rubberband trick: Place rubberbands around hard-boiled eggs before dipping egg into egg dye. For extra cool effects, place rubberbands around both length-wise and width-wise. Remove a couple of the rubberbands after dipping. Then dip egg into another color of dye before removing the other rubberbands.
