Homemade Natural Dye for Easter Eggs

For a fool-proof way to hard-boil eggs:

Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; add enough tap water to cover at least 1 inch above eggs. Cover and bring to boiling.

Remove from heat and leave for about 1/2 hour.

Immediately place pot under cold running water until water in pot is cold.

Dry eggs and decorate immediately or store in refrigerate. Do not decorate cracked eggs, instead use them in recipes or eat them up as soon as possible.

Different Shades of Red:  beets, raspberries, cranberries, grape juice, or red onions

Different Shades of Yellow:   Yellow onion skins, orange peels, lemon peels, shredded carrot, celery seed, ground cumin or ground turmeric

Pale green:   Spinach leaves

Golden:   Yellow Golden Delicious Apple peels

Light Blue:  frozen blueberries, thawed

Light brown:   Strong brewed coffee

Place the hard-boiled eggs in a single layer in a large pot (do not stack them). Pour in just enough water to cover the eggs, add about 1 teaspoon vinegar and the desired natural dye to the water.

Bring the water to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.

If you'd rather not go natural, either use food coloring or go out and buy an egg colouring kit.

Giant Easter Eggs

Balloon

Crochet Thread

Watered Down Glue

Large Paintbrushes

Blow up the balloon and tie a 2 foot piece of thread to the bottom.

Using a large paint brush, cover the entire balloon with the watered down glue (work quickly so the glue doesn't have a chance to dry).

Wrap crochet thread around the balloon in one direction, leaving small gaps about 1/2 inch wide so the balloon isn't completely covered.

Apply another light layer of glue on top of the thread and wrap with another layer of crochet thread in another direction.

Repeat until the balloon is covered with thread.

Hang the balloon from the bottom thread to dry for about 24 hours.

When fully dry, pop the balloon and gently pull it out of the thread.

Sponge Painted Easter Eggs
Place hard boiled eggs in egg cups.

Partially fill paper cups with different colors of paint.

Cut a sponge into as many pieces as you have colors of paint. Get the same number of clothespins and use them to grab the pieces of sponge.

Using the clothespins as a handle, lightly dab the sponge over the top half of the egg; use as many colors as you'd like. Let dry thoroughly.

Turn egg over in the cup and repeat the procedure.

Let the egg dry completely.
