Egg Dyes

Cover your plant material (see list below) with about 3 inches of water, bring to a boil, and simmer until the color looks good. You'll probably have to let the eggs sit in the dye overnight, so if you're planning more than one color per egg, start this a few days before celebration.

Yellows- daffodil petals, saffron, turmeric, onion skins

Blues- blueberries, red cabbage leaves & vinegar

Greens-broccoli, coltsfoot

Pinks- cochineal, madder root

Browns - walnut shells, tea, coffee
