Homemade Egg Dye


Give the Easter Bunny a run for his money by dyeing Easter eggs the natural way, using common foods and flowers. And don't forget: The longer you soak the eggs in the following liquids, the more intense the colors will be.

Pink: Cranberry juice or the juice from pickled beets.

Violet: Water boiled with violet blossoms.

Lavender: Grape juice.

Yellow: A mixture of 1 cup hot water, 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar.

Brown: A mixture of 1 cup hot water, 1 tablespoon instant coffee and 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar.
