Dyeing Easter Eggs

P1030500

They boys dyed Easter eggs this afternoon.  Aren’t the bright colors great?  I used neon food coloring. Making your own Easter egg dye couldn’t be easier—no need to purchase those kits!  Just combine hot water, vinegar, and food coloring and you are ready to go!

Easter Egg Dye:

1 teaspoon vinegar

10-20 drops food coloring (depending on intensity you desire)

1/2 cup hot water

Now if you are feeling like an overachiever, you could create your own dyes using all natural ingredients.  Here are some sites with details:

Perhaps next year I’ll give au natural a try. Looks intriguing!
