Marbling is popular when painting Easter eggs. You can do this quickly and easily with a well-known food.
Marbled Easter eggs are the counterpart to the monotonously painted other eggs.

When marbling, different colors are often mixed and give each Easter egg an individual, almost unique look.

reports, only four items or ingredients are needed: rice, food coloring, a bag and white, hard-boiled eggs. In just five steps you can quickly and easily make marbled Easter eggs at home.
Take a sealable freezer bag and put the raw rice in it.
Now add a few drops of food coloring to the rice. If you use different colors, they shouldn't clash, but shouldn't be too similar either. Mix the rice thoroughly with the color.
Now place a white, hard-boiled egg into the colored rice.
Roll the egg in the rice until it is completely covered in color.
Finally, simply take the egg out of the bag and let it dry for a while. The piece of art is ready for Easter.

Marbling is of course just one of numerous ways to artistically decorate the eggs at Easter - for example with a hot wax mixture made from beeswax from the beekeeper and leftover Advent candles. Another option is to embellish the eggs with foods such as onion skins, red cabbage or turmeric.
