Looking for a natural way to dye Easter eggs this year? The world around us is full of unique and beautiful colors, and harnessing those colors to dye your Easter eggs can be lots of fun in itself. Here are some all-natural ways you can make homemade Easter egg dye out of things you might already have in your kitchen.

ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

Organic, fresh produce is the way to go for all-natural egg dye. Aside from these ingredients, the only other necessities will be water, white vinegar, and organic eggs.

Beets

Anyone who has cut beets while wearing white clothes knows how powerful their red/pink dyeing abilities are. Take one beet and shred it with a cheese grater.

Ground Turmeric

Two tablespoons of this beautiful golden powder are perfect for golden yellow eggs.

Purple Cabbage

Chop up one cup of purple cabbage for a rich blue color.

Yellow Onion Skins

Next time you chop up a yellow onion, don’t throw away those skins! They are great for a bright orange tone dye.

Red Onion Skins

Follow the same steps as the yellow onion, but you will get a pretty purple or red color this time.

DIRECTIONS

1. Add these ingredients into one cup of boiling water each. After bringing the ingredients and water to a boil, simmer covered for about 15-30 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and cool until lukewarm.

3. Strain out your solids, if any. Then add in one tablespoon of white vinegar.

4. Place your room temperature hardboiled eggs in an even layer in a dish with sides that reach higher than the top of your eggs. Then pour your dye of choice in until the eggs are completely covered.

5. Cool and let sit in the refrigerator until the eggs reach the color you want. Have fun!
