An added version would be to wrap a natural object (flower or leaf) around the egg after it is boiled, and then put pantyhose material around it and pull it secure so that it holds the object in place on the egg. Tie the pantyhose tight on the top (as if you are are closing a bag). Then place it in the jar of the colored water over night.
