Details
Wax crayons
paper towels
egg dyes in different colors
slotted spoon

Draw a heavy crayon pattern on hard boiled egg. Dip egg in egg dye, preferably a dark color. Leave in dye until desired color is reached. Remove with slotted spoon and place in 200 degree F oven for a few minutes until wax is melted. Wipe with paper towel and dip again in lighter dye to fill in pattern where wax was. Polish finished eggs with cooking oil and soft cloth.
And here is another way to use wax and eggs from Tuula in Port Orford, Oregon:
"Light a candle and drip some was on your egg. Congratulations! You now have spots! Now, you can dye it your next color, let it dry, and ad more was. I did this one using 3 spots of white, yellow, pink, orange, etc. in that order. It was really pretty!"
