Learn How To Dye Easter Eggs with Coffee Filters

What I love about making these coffee filter Easter dyed eggs, its a fun way besides just dipping in colored water letting the dye soak in. This way it’s more hands-on, and your child can help place the colors in spots, for a more creative look.

Give this Easter Egg coloring a try and see how you like it!

Can You Make Hard Boiled Eggs In Instant Pot

If you own an Instant Pot, you can make hard boiled eggs in your pot. I suggest the 7-7-7 method. 7 minutes high pressure, 7 minutes natural release followed by a 7-minute ice bath.

I personally used the stove top method, but feel free to cook in the oven or in your Instant Pot if you prefer that route!

Best Food Colorings For Coffee Filter Dyed Eggs

We tested out liquids and gels and the liquid food coloring came out on top. It gave a cleaner and smoother appearance along with a bolder color. Gel food coloring will work if it is what you have, but liquid seems to take the cake on overall coloring.

How To Make Dyed Easter Eggs with Coffee Filters

Start out by hard boiling your eggs. I have instructions here on how to hard boil perfect eggs! Once your eggs are done, now is the time to soak your eggs in vinegar for up to five minutes.

Remove eggs and place in a coffee filter. Add on your food coloring in spots to create color. Then set your coffee filter eggs aside to dry.  Open the filter up after it is dry and see the fun design now displayed on your egg!

• Food Coloring (Liquids work better than Gels but you can use either)

2. Place Eggs into a Bowl of Vinegar and soak 3-5 minutes.

3. Remove Egg directly from vinegar and place in a Coffee Filter. Do not pat dry before doing this, the vinegar helps the dye absorb into the egg and gives you brighter colors!

4. Drop colors of food coloring on the outside of your coffee filter

5. Set aside and allow to dry, or Open the coffee filter and roll the egg around to distribute dye.
