Spring is here at Fairfax Circle Villa | Fairfax Apartments

March is for Cherry Blossoms, Easter and our favorite weather, Spring!

Fairfax will have many fun, family-friendly activities and events. There will be egg hunts, Easter egg rolls, Easter Bunny visits and photos, outdoor festivals, parades, and more.

It’s a great time to do some planning and get out to enjoy this beautiful weather.

Here are some tips how to do some egg artwork for Easter:

What you will need:

  • Hard-Boiled Eggs (12)
  • Food coloring
  • White vinegar
  • Spray bottle
  • Paper towels
  • Plastic wrap
  • Rubber bands
  1. Place a sheet of plastic wrap underneath several layers of paper towel.
  2. Mix water with a bit of white vinegar in a spray bottle. Moisten the paper towel by spraying with this vinegar mixture.
  3. Place several drops of food coloring all over the paper towel. Two to three colors provide interesting tie dye effects. Too many colors results in muddy, less vibrant mixtures.
  4. Place an egg in the middle. Gather the edges of the paper towel towards the egg.

step 4

  1. Hold the paper towel tightly close to the top of the egg to ensure a snug wrap. Spray with the vinegar solution until the paper towel is soaked.step5
  2. Gently squeeze out any excess vinegar solution before wrapping in plastic wrap. Secure the top end with a rubber band. Allow the colors to soak in for at least 1 hour. The longer it sits, the deeper the colors will be.

step 6

 

Also, Easter means dinner with family, and friends, and beautiful table settings. It’s the perfect excuse to say goodbye to winter decor, and break out the spring decor, along with pops of color, and fresh flowers.

Countries around the world celebrate the holiday differently. In the city of Haux, France, make an omelet big enough to feed 1000. The dish is often has about a 10 inch diameter. Cyprus holds bonfires in the yards; Germany, eggs are set in trees, called Easter egg trees; United Kingdom, observers participate by rolling eggs downhill and in some areas by performing the Pace Egg play; Jamaican celebration is to eat a spiced bun that may contain raises with cheese; Scandinavian countries like Norway, celebrators ski and relax at cabins in the mountains etc. Very interesting!

Happy Easter FCV Residents!
