Most Easter egg dyes are water based, and so will re-dissolve in water if given the chance. If the egg becomes moist (even if held in a damp hand), the dye will come off.
In the case of eggs meant to be eaten, this is not a very big deal. In the case of eggs made to be saved, like pysanky, this can be a problem. That is why most pysanka artists coat their finished eggs with a protective varnish.

How do you clean Easter egg dye off of your kitchen table?
It is best to avoid this problem by not getting the dye onto your kitchen table in the first place. When dyeing eggs, cover the work area with newspapers or a plastic tablecloth. If you do get dye onto the table, there are several ways to get it off. The simplest is to use some dish soap and a damp sponge or cloth, and just wash it off. This will often be all you need. If the stain is a bit more stubborn, a cleanser like Soft Scrub works really well. Get the kind without bleach. Test a small inconspicuous area first. If that is successful then you should have no trouble getting it off your table. Be gentle, don't scrub too hard or you will scratch the table. In the worst case, you may need to use bleach. Bleach does not wash the dye off, it breaks the molecule up in such a way that it no longer reflects color. Bleach always works to remove egg dyes, but may damage the table. As before, test it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it can be used safely. WOoden tables may be stained permanently, as the dye can get into the grain of the wood. Plastic or laminate surfaces usually clean up quit easily.

How do you dye foam?
Foam is really hard to dye. You can either paint the dye on or soak it in a bath of dye. Also a good dye that you can try is called dylon dye. You can find a video about dyeing foam here http://www.blogtv.com/Shows/736892/buZEY2NGaeZDbe_vYX&pos=ancr
How do you fix a weeping egg?
How do you fix a weeping egg? Empty Dyed Eggshells: If the egg has already been blown out, but has not yet been varnished or coated entirely with beeswax, try this: # Turn the egg hole-down, place a twist of tissue inside to wick away the moisture, and let it drain for several hours. # Remove the tissue and let the egg dry out COMPLETELY for about a week. # Cap the hole with wax, and dunk the egg back into the final dye color until it looks right. Sometimes this requires double-dipping, and in rare cases even requires a Simple Green wash and more dyeing. It doesn't usually matter if some dye gets into the egg at this point, and even if you seal the hole well with wax, dye will seep inside anyway through the pores. Just be sure to wick it out immediately with a tissue, before it has time to work its way back out through the pores of the shell. Watch closely -- you want to leave the tissue in long enough to drain out the moisture, but not long enough to dry out. If any kind of seal forms, either from a dry tissue, or from leaving in the wax plug, or from the flap of membrane closing over, or even from liquid collecting near the hole, then the gas inside the egg will force excess liquid out through the pores and ruin the dye on the shell. # Dry the egg out for a day before melting off the wax; even a little bit of residual fluid will come out through the pores if the egg is heated too soon. If you do get seepage through the pores in the shell, you can repeat the above process and be more careful. Full Eggs: If you are working with a full egg, weeping through the shell is usually due to the breakdown of the inner membrane of the egg. This membrane normally keeps the white and yolk intact inside the shell. As the egg and its contents age, this membrane can sometimes break down, resulting in amber-colored excrescences forming on the shell of the egg. If you notice these small excrescences beforestarting a pysanka, throw the egg out. It is almost always rotten. If you have already invested time and effort into an egg, it can still be saved if you haven't removed the wax yet. Stop, blow out the egg, and rinse it out throroughly. The contents will be quite foul. (One word: Febreeze.) Let the egg dry out properly (at least overnight), and then plug the hole(s) with a bit of wax, and re-acidify (vinegar rinse) and re-dye the egg. With luck, this should solve your problem. If you're removing the wax when you notice the excrescences, oh, well.....not much to be done. If your pysanka doesn't look too bad, empty it before varnishing, as these lumps can form under the varnish as well and make your egg look even worse.
What can you use to resist the dye soaking through?
I assume you're talking about tie dying. If you're worried about the dye soaking through from one side of the shirt to the other, you can place a piece of cardboard covered with plastic wrap between the front and back of the shirt. If you want an area that resists the dye, to that when you wash the dye out there are areas that have not been dyed, then you need to use a dye resist. There are many kinds, soy, wax, and water based. Water based is the easiest to use but you have to be careful to add dye a little at a time. Flooding the dye piece will wash the resist off too soon. Elmer's blue gel glue is a simple dye resist (make sure it dries for 24 hours before you dye) as are fabric paints (set them with heat before you dye). Also, you cannot soak something with water based dyes in a soda ash presoak. I soak my shirts and then let them dry and then add the water based dye resist. Hope that helps!

What is wax resist?
The basic underlying technique used in creating pysanky is wax-resist. Pure beeswax is applied to the eggshell, to which it adheres firmly. The egg is then placed in cold-water dye, and the eggshell absorbs the dye everywhere except the areas with wax on them. The egg is placed in a series of dye baths, beginning with light colors and ending with dark, and more wax is applied after each dyebath. When the wax is removed at the end of the process, the multi-colored design is revealed.Pysanka artists usually begin by applying wax to a plain, white eggshell. Every spot to which wax is applied at this point will stay white throughout the entire dyeing process. The wax acts as a barrier or shield, protecting the shell underneath from the dye. After the first dye bath (usually yellow), the artist applies more wax onto the egg, protecting the first color of the egg, before placing the egg into a second color of dye. The parts of the egg that had wax applied to them when the egg was white will stay white. The parts of the egg that had wax applied to them when the egg was yellow will stay yellow. The rest of the eggshell will change to the new dye color. If the wax is melted off at this point, the final dye is the background color, and the design is in white and yellow.
