Dyeing Easter Eggs the Natural Way

To color you eggs the natural way add the items listed below with 1 tablespoon of Vinegar to your water and boil for 20-30 minutes.


Coffee or tea will give a tan or brownish color

Yellow onion skins a yellow/tannish color

Red Onion skins a pink/purple color

Orange peels an orange/ yellow color
Lemon peels a yellow color
Beets a deep purple color

Grape juice a Lavender/purple color

Spinach a green color
Turmeric a yellow color
Blueberries a blue/purple color
Letting your eggs steep for awhile after boiling will deepen the color. The longer they set in the brew the darker your colors will be.
