We're big fans of the classic dip-and-dye Easter egg methods. We've experimented with ombre, gone psychedelic with the help of rubber cement and even used food for a natural version. But when we heard that you can marbleize eggs with shaving cream, we had to give it a try - and the results are nothing short of stunning.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fill your baking sheet with shaving cream until it's about an inch thick, then smooth it out with a rubber spatula.

2. Drip food coloring onto the shaving cream. Don't be afraid to be generous with the colors - the more you use, the brighter your eggs will be.

3. Use a toothpick to swirl and marble your food coloring droplets.

4. Pick up a hard-boiled egg - put on your gloves for this step! - and roll it in the shaving cream, coating it completely.
