Does anyone know a good working method for coloring Easter eggs without store bought coloring tabs? I can’t find mine and I don’t want to go out shopping for some right now. Was hoping there was a good method people maybe have tried themselves that has a good result. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

@hereby773 do you have whipped cream, whipping cream or even shaving cream? You can use shaving cream as long as the eggs aren’t cracked
