Smirko – The Beetroot Zombie Egg
Smirko is created from a boiled egg that gets its typical reddish skin color from beetroot. With a slice of cucumber and a little food coloring, a small Halloween figure is created step by step.
Steps at a Glance
• Peel a boiled egg
• Rub the egg with a slice of beetroot
• Let the egg rest for about 20 minutes so the color can set and won’t smudge later
• Cut cucumber to use as hair and place it on top
• Design the face using food coloring
• Finish decorating Smirko
The Result
With just a few ingredients, Smirko is created – a small beetroot zombie egg for Halloween. More Halloween projects will follow step by step.
My Tip
If the color is not vibrant enough for you yet, rub the egg with the beetroot again every few minutes during the resting period. This makes the reddish tint more intense and even.
