    WHAT YOU NEED

    • hard-boiled eggs (this is our easy method)
    • paper towel or newspaper
    • bowls or mugs deep enough to submerge an egg

    HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE EASTER EGG DYE

    STEP 1 | Boil water over stove or in a microwave safe measuring cup.

    STEP 2 | Pour ½ cup boiling water into deep mug or bowl. Repeat for each color.

    STEP 3| Add vinegar to each cup/bowl of boiling water. Then add 15-20 drops of food coloring to each bowl. Stir well.

    STEP 4 | Dip hard boiled eggs into the dye. Let sit for about 5 minutes, rotating so each side gets dyed. For deeper shades, let the eggs sit longer.

    DON'T LIKE HARD BOILED EGGS?

    If you don't love hard-boiled eggs but still want to color Easter eggs, no worries! You can still dye eggs using this same method. Just use regular eggs that have not been boiled. Be extra careful as you lower the eggs into the dye and take them out. Let them dry in the egg carton to avoid rolling and breaking.

    To avoid potential mess, color eggs outside just in case one or two fall and break.

      Easy to make colors are good . I added more or less good coloring for bolder and lighter colors.
