Use a brush to turn the eggs black or navy blue. If necessary, apply 2 coats of paint. Wait for it to dry completely. Cut the sponge into several pieces, dip each of them in different colors, and lightly touch the egg to create a pattern. Wait for it to dry.

"Azure with gold" Eggs 

For such eggs you will need

- boiled eggs

- red cabbage (will give the eggs an unusual bright blue color);

- water - 5 tbsp.;

- table vinegar - 4 tbsp.;
