  2. Place one egg in each color and allow to rest completely covered by the dye for 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove eggs and transfer them to paper toweling to dry.
  3. Prepare the second round of dipping colors by stirring 1 teaspoon vinegar, 10 to 20 drops of food coloring, and 1 tablespoon oil into each cup of water. For best results, these colors should be darker shades.
  4. Place one egg in each color and stir to coat. Allow resting for 1 to 3 minutes for more intense colors.
