Gold Painted Easter Eggs
How to easily make golden Easter eggs without special tools!
Equipment
- Disposable Vinyl Gloves optional
Ingredients
- 12 white eggs hard-boiled, cooled, and colored or white
- ½ tbsp Gold Luster Powder Dust
- ½ tsp Clear vanilla extract or vodka
Instructions
- First, prepare the plain or dyed Easter eggs and measure out the gold luster dust and clear vanilla extract with the measuring spoon.Here’s my simple how-to on Dying Easter Eggs with Food Coloring.
- Next, in a glass pinch bowl, mix the vanilla and luster together using a cake brush.
- Set out the golden egg paint with the cooled Easter eggs and a few more cake brushes.
- Now it’s time for some Easter magic! Use the brushes to paint away your egg-y artwork!If you use vodka instead of extract, it will evaporate faster. So you might need to keep adding more vodka as you paint.
- I like to let the kiddos get messy and have fun with it but I do recommend vinyl gloves for adults. Unless you want to walk around with golden hands all day ;)
- After painting, let the eggs dry on a cooling rack sitting on top of a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
- Finally, you’re ready for golden Easter egg celebrations!

Tips for Dyeing Easter Eggs
Before dazzling these colorful cuties with gold paint, here are a few tips to make sure your dyed Easter eggs come out perfect:

- The natural dye takes longer to color the eggs so I usually like to use the color gels by Wilton. They have vivid colors that take hold fast!
- If your food coloring is old: use hot water to dissolve the color, then let it cool completely before coloring the eggs.
