Are you planning on dyeing some Easter Eggs this year? I’ve found several sites that show how you can use natural ingredients as dyes for your eggs–fruits, veggies, herbs, and spices like blueberries, oranges, red and yellow onions, paprika, and much more! I haven’t tried any of these yet, but I thought I’d go ahead and share some helpful links with you! Above, the photo of these pretty pastel-colored eggs is from Better Homes and Gardens–see instructions here at bhg.com.
You need to check out these naturally dyed eggs at the blog Dreamy Whites–they are beautiful and so is the blog!
At Your Homebased Mom, you’ll find out how to create dyes that produce these soft earthy colors–such great shades! See instructions here at yourhomebasedmom.com.
Here’s a nice variety of soft colors from Kaleyann.com–visit her blog for how-to’s here.
If you’re wanting colors that are a little more vivid, you’ll find tips at A Few Short Cuts.
MarthaStewart.com also has instructions for dyeing eggs naturally–look at those rich colors!
Have you tried dyeing eggs with natural ingredients? Do you prefer using natural or regular dyes?

One year I dyed yellow onion skin eggs with my Camp Fire girls. The girls picked tiny ferns and we laid them on the egg and then slipped the egg on a portion of the leg of a cut up panty hose and secured the ends
After dying the eggs were a gorgeous reddish brown. The place where the fern was turned a soft cream. Then we rubbed the eggs with vegetable oil. They remain my favorite dyed eggs of all time. I started taking the loose onion skins well before Easter so we’d have enough. The grocery store was happy I was cleaning up the onion bin. A win win for both of us.
