Christmas Pysanka Design 4 (Beginner)

Christmas Design 4 - Light Green

Draw these lines on the egg using the fine and heavy kistky, on both sides of the egg.

When you have double-checked your lines, dip the egg in the Orange wash, or if you don't have one, the Orange dye, to rinse off the green dye. Leave it in about 15 minutes, or until the egg is no longer green, and is a decent shade of orange. Then gently remove it, and dab it dry.

Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then dip the egg in the Bright Red dye. Leave it in about 15 minutes, or until the desired shade is reached (REMEMBER: NO LONGER THAN 45 MINUTES!). Then gently remove it, and dab it dry.

When you have double-checked your lines, dip the egg in the Black dye. Leave it in about 15 minutes, or until the desired shade is reached. Then gently remove it, and dab it dry. Let it sit a few minutes before proceeding, then complete the egg as described in the Finishing Up section.
