Natural Dyed Easter Eggs
Now, I know I'm either too late or far too early for Easter, but if I don't post this now I'll never remember!!!:D
Natural ways of colouring hard-boiled eggs for Easter. I already knew about onion skins, but I've found some others: These are saucepan methods - simmer for at least 8 mins, the longer they simmer the darker/brighter the colour. Orange - carrot skins, paprika Purple - purple iris petals Green - ferns, parsley, spinach Blue - red cabbage leaves, crushed blueberries Red/pink -cherries, fresh beetroot, red onion skins, crushed cranberries Yellow - yellow onion skins, saffron, ground turmeric Light yellow -lemon peel, orange peel, ground cumin Brown - coffee, tea You can: 'Etch' the eggshell before dyeing with a needle. Wrap the eggs in coloured crafting tissue paper and spritz with water, leave to dry and remove. Marble pattern - mix food colouring and vinegar. Add 1 tbsp veg oil, dip eggs! Try: Tying string/rubber bands/sticky tape round drawing on the egg with a white candle, it will repel the dye So, give it a go and have fun! :bouncy: :spin: :thumbsup: |
