Poll question: Does anyone actually color eggs that look like the ones on cartoons?
You know what I'm talking about - how they have striped ones and ones with zig-zags on 'em and all that, like they have on the Charlie Brown special.

I have never made these ever, and I've even done some interesting ones (like color them one color, and then wrap them in some plastic wrap with a little bit of another color dye so they have this kind-of marbled pattern on them).

1. Yes.
Use a white crayon on the egg before you dye it-it will make all kinds of interesting patterns.

2. Yes
I like painting designs on them and painting the initials of each person on their own egg. I haven't done this in a while, though.

4. My parents have home movies of me crying because my eggs
weren't turning out like that.

Don't say it--it happend when I was about six, NOT last year!

8. Yes, I use the crayon method as well.
You can also use tape to do some cool stuff.
