DIY Colored Easter Eggs!


I just wanted to add a quick post about coloring eggs today because tomorrow is Easter! I'm sure many people have been doing their Easter egg coloring over the past couple of days so I just wanted to share this easy "do it yourself" recipe.  You can definitely find all sorts of ways to color eggs just by doing a simple search via Google, but I wanted to post mine on here because I have pictures with my results!  All you need are a few things that are probably already in your kitchen!  So, if you forgot to pick up an egg coloring kit don't worry, just read below!  Enjoy and Happy Easter!


Ingredients:

Hardboiled eggs
White Vinegar
Food Coloring

Directions:

  • Fill small containers (I used mugs) with 1/4 cup hot water, 1 tbsp white vinegar and 5 drops of different colored food dye in each.
  • Place hardboiled eggs into each container, and dye them different colors.  The longer you allow the eggs to sit in the dye, the darker the color will be.  I waited about 5mins and mine came out pretty nice. 
  • Place into an egg carton and allow to dry.
  • That's it! HAPPY EASTER! :)
