📌What You’ll Need 

Hard Boiled Eggs – they should be DRY and at ROOM TEMPERATURE.

Rubber Bands

Coffee Filters

White Vinegar and spray bottle – do not substitute apple cider vinegar.

Food Coloring – blue, purple, and pink

Old Toothbrush – one with hard bristles works the best.

White paint

*Optionalgloves will help reduce the mess!


🚨Before Starting!


  • Room Temperature Eggs: Eggs should be cooled to room temp and dry before starting!

✨How to Make DIY Galaxy Easter Eggs

Pour white vinegar into a small spray bottle. Wrap each boiled egg (pointed end down) in a coffee filter, securing it at the top with a small rubber band.

Wearing rubber gloves if desired, add three drops of each food dye color (blue, purple, and pink) onto the coffee filter-covered egg. Let the colors spread naturally for a beautiful marbled effect.

Lightly spritz the wrapped eggs with vinegar and allow them to sit for about 5 minutes.

Remove the coffee filters and use them to dab any remaining white spots on the eggs. Let the eggs dry for another 5 minutes.

Pour white craft paint into a small dish. Dip the bristles of an old toothbrush into the paint, then use your thumb or finger to flick the bristles, splattering tiny “stars” across the eggs. Rotate each egg to ensure full coverage.

Allow the eggs to dry for at least 15 minutes, or leave them overnight for best results.


💡Helpful Tips


  • Handle with Care: If refrigerating the eggs after dyeing, let them sit out for 20–30 minutes before handling to avoid staining your hands.
  • Toothbrush Matters: A hard-bristled toothbrush works best for flicking the paint—soft bristles don’t splatter as well.
  • Use Liquid Dye Only: Gel or oil-based dyes won’t spread properly on the coffee filters, so stick with liquid food coloring.
  • Brown Eggs? Maybe! While not tested, this method should still work on brown eggs, but expect deeper, richer tones.
  • Farm Fresh Eggs: Brown or farm-fresh eggs work great too! The colors will look slightly different but still stunning.

Creating Galaxy Eggs is as simple as wrapping boiled eggs in coffee filters, adding vibrant food dye, and finishing with a splatter of white paint for a starry effect. With just a few household items, you can turn ordinary eggs into mesmerizing mini galaxies—perfect for Easter fun!
