My 11 year old is the biggest fan of Baby Yoda or Grogu. He loves watching the Mandalorian and he has lots of Baby Yoda gifts for his birthday!

How to make Baby Yoda Easter egg decorations:
Dyeing the eggs
First you need to prepare the eggs. Place your eggs in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat but don’t throw away the water! Use the hot water from the eggs for dyeing the shells. I added two drops of each colour to a jar, then one tablespoon of vinegar, and poured in the hot water.
Run cold water over the eggs and set them aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Then place the eggs in the dye and gently rotate them with a spoon until eggs are the desired colour. Remove the eggs and set them aside to dry.
Cricut made Baby Yoda
Upload our free Baby Yoda SVG file to Cricut Design Space. Using the eye icon next to each colour turn off all colours but black. You can now duplicate the black if you want several stickers. Send it to the machine to cut on the appropriate vinyl setting.
Place your sheet of black vinyl on the blue cutting machine and cut. You will repeat this step for every colour of each item on the SVG.
When you have finished cutting you will have four parts, each in a different colour.
Now place Transfer Tape over the first piece which is Baby Yoda’s green head. Scrape well with the scraper tool.
Peel back the Transfer Tape making sure the design sticks to the tape. Align it over the black in the area the green head is supposed to be, place down and press well. Peel back the Transfer Tape carefully making sure the design sticks.
Repeat this step for each colour.
Then you will have your completed Baby Yoda sticker!
Place your eggs in an egg cup or cut a cardboard tube in half to hold it steady. Peel the sticker from the backing and place on top of the egg. Hard-boiled eggs will last a few days before being eaten.
The best thing is you can use these stickers after the eggs have been eaten!
