If you're looking for really unique designs this year, try these beautiful marbled eggs. They are a little messy, but the results are fabulous. Have plenty of paper towels on hand for this fun project.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Cover work surface with newspaper.
2. Lay out a few paper towels for holding completed eggs.
3. In each container, put one tablespoon each of vinegar, oil and food coloring. Repeat this for each color.
4. Add enough water to each coloring mixture to cover an egg.
5. Add a spoon to each of the color mixtures.

6. Have a stack of napkins or paper towels at the ready, separate from the paper towels that you laid out to hold the completed eggs.
7. Stir mixture with spoon to create a swirling motion.
8. While liquid is swirling, place egg on spoon and dip down into swirling mixture. Remove egg quickly.
9. Pat egg dry with a paper towel, set aside if satisfied with the color. If you're not satisfied you can repeat the process with a second color. Do as many color combinations as you like.
10. When finished, pat the egg dry, leaving a little of the oil on the egg to give it a varnished look.
11. Place completed eggs on paper towels as you work on more.
12. Store eggs in refrigerator until ready to eat!

Tips:

• Check your local grocer as there are cool neon food colors available.
• One full squeeze bottle of food coloring is not quite a tablespoon, but will work nicely for this craft.
• If you have some food coloring on hand but the bottles are only half full, simply combine some colors to make your own (red + yellow=orange) to make up for the lack of quantity.
