What is Easter without Easter eggs? Coloring Easter eggs is one of our favorite traditions here at GloryBee, but we like to avoid store packaged kits as well as food coloring. We have assembled some easy to make instructions for your own natural egg dyes with items you probably already have in your home. Start with these primary colors, and mix to create some of your other favorite colors.
Blue Easter Egg Dye:
1 lb of crushed frozen blueberries
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 cups water
Directions: Mix ingredients together, boil for 15 mins, let cool.
Red Easter Egg Dye:
1 lb of frozen cranberries
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 cups water
