All Natural Easter Egg Dye

April 3, 2019

Easter is just a few weeks away, and I’m praying for warm weather πŸ˜‰ I’ve shared about All Natural Easter Egg Dye in the past, but I did it again this year and wanted to share in case any of you missed it! I got this idea from a Better Homes and Gardens article and decided to try it myself a few years back. I absolutely love the subtle colors of the eggs, so it’s something I do every year! Today I’m sharing which combinations we made and how you can make them yourself, too!

Connecticut life and style blogger Lauren McBride shares all natural easter egg dye featuring how to dye easter eggs with fruits and vegetables.

I was expecting some different colors than what you see here, but I still love how these turned out. I did not let them sit in the fridge overnight as it suggests, and I think I might adjust some recipes the next time around.

The eggs that should be lavender are definitely more of a dark blue than lavender! I think these would’ve been better if they didn’t sit at long, but I still LOVE how they look….almost slightly marbled! (Recipe calls for 1 cup grape juice + 1 TBSP white distilled vinegar).

The eggs that are bluish-gray sat the same amount of time as the lavender eggs and are much lighter. For sake of time, I did not let this mixture come to room temp (I have in the past!) and I think that made a big difference because the color is much more subtle than the last time. Still very pretty! (Recipe calls for 1 cup frozen blueberries mixed with 1 cup water, let sit to room temp and then remove blueberries).

The eggs that are yellow are very faint, but the article provides other recipes for a deeper yellow color if you wish!  (Recipe for various shades of yellow calls for 4 chamomile or green tea bags steeped in 1 cup boiling water for 5 minutes).

The eggs that are orange turned out completely different than I expected! This was my first time making this particular recipe, but they should actually be a jade green. I’m not sure if I did something wrong, but I still love the result! A green would’ve been super pretty though. (Recipe calls for peeling the skin of 6 onions and then simmering in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes. Then add 3 tsp. of white vinegar).

The eggs that are pink are made with beets! They would be pinker had I let them sit longer, but ya know…kids don’t wait πŸ˜‰  But there are a variety of recipes for shades of pink! (Recipe calls for 1 medium beet cut into chunks and added to 4 cups of boiling water. Stir in 2 TBSP of white vinegar and let cool to room temperature. Then remove the beets!)

You can find more color recipes in the BHG article! I think it’s a fun alternative to regular egg dye! πŸ™‚
