For our first egg, we drew on the Opening Ceremony Collection floral lace skirt for inspiration. Let's begin by mixing some blue dye into a cup of water. Hot tip: use white vinegar to achieve brighter colors!

Draw the outlines of flowers with the pencil. Using the transparent crayon, fill in the areas outside the petals as well as the flowers' centers.

Dip in the blue dye, and voilà!
