Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs


As a fiber artist, I have used natural dyes to color handspun yarn. I have dyed with onion skins, indigo, coffee, usnea, wolf moss, and tumeric; however, I never thought of using natural dyes on eggs before. In fact, I am embarrassed that I did not think of it myself, but Martha Stewart did! Last year was the first year we dyed Easter eggs, at my daughter’s request. Against my will, I bought food coloring, as I felt guilty for denying her so many holiday traditions in the past. This year, we will use natural dyes on eggs bought locally from a friend. If you are interested in naturally dyeing eggs, please visit The Green Guide for more information.

    Those are beautiful egss and I really like that idea myself. I think I’ll plan for that next year! This year was just vinegar and food coloring from our natural food store. Then again, now that I think about it, it was natural dye, since the food coloring were based on berry juices. Still, thanks for posting this and getting me thinking about it!

    […] If you do opt for traditional quiche… please consider cage free, hormone free, organic eggs and meats.  Or find a neighbor who raises chickens and gathering your own in the hen house. If you are coloring eggs this year, consider natural dyes for a fun change. […]
