A creative guide to dyeing Easter eggs using natural ingredients for beautiful, soft colors.

  • 1 to 2 cups chopped dye ingredient (e.g. cabbage, onion skins)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Add 1 to 2 cups of chopped dye ingredient and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. Strain the dye into a bowl or jar.
