Dyeing eggs is a tradition in Macedonia for Easter. If you are a follower of tradition, you probably know that the first eggs are dyed in red on Thursday at sunrise. We dye only three eggs and the rest of the eggs are decorated on Saturday.
You can use your creativity and imagination to decorate your eggs for Easter or you can follow these creative tips and techniques to get the most perfect Easter eggs.

Gather dried flowers or leaves in interesting size. Dry them first by placing them in a closed book for several days. Take confectionery glue and tape them to the egg. Up to you is whether you want to add them on dyed or white egg.
TECHNIQUE No.2 - Cabbage for better color
You read well, if you put few leaves of red cabbage while dyeing, the color will be considerably more intense and more beautiful.
