It's time once again to dye and decorate the unborn children of our fowl feathered friends. Yes, I'm talking about Easter.
Tired of those cheap Paas tablets that turn your fingers all the colors of the rainbow? Then might I suggest "The Decoregger" (as seen on TV!...in the '70's)
After placing your chosen cackle fruit in the holder, you rotate the Decoregger and toggle the pen mount to create geometric patterns. I don't think I would have completed many (if any) eggs using this thing. As a child, I barely had the patience to apply those stickers that came with the Paas kits. I was too busy spinning those pop-out cardboard discs that were on the back of the box that you poked toothpicks through and spun. But look at how much fun this family is having. LOOK AT THEM!
i am almost 100% sure i had one of these. while it's not RONCO™, it's legit fun, at least on a scale of decorating eggs goes.
ReplyDeleteFunny how the eggs never quite turned out as advertised on TV or on the box. ... My favorite egg-decorating hack was using crayon on the egg before dipping it into the coloring solution.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I recall having difficulty with those plastic wraps that shrunk (or were supposed to) to the egg when dipped in hot water.
DeleteWe used the wax or white crayon too, but I always had difficulty seeing what it looked like before I dipped in dye, so sometimes my drawings and writing came out lopsided.
