How To Dye Easter Eggs Naturally Blue + Orange

A Easter tradition in my family has always been to decorate our home with Easter eggs and is a tradition Andrew and I want to continue in our home. This year instead of buying a kit from the supermarket that is full of ingredients that I don’t know, we experimented with ingredients that you can find in your pantry and fridge to create our own natural dyes! They turned out incredible!! Here is what we used:

For Blue Eggs 

These are my favourite eggs because they look just like robins egg!

You will need:

• ½ head of red cabbage
• 2 cups of water
• 3 Tbsp of vinegar

Shred 1/2 head red cabbage and boil with 2 cups water, then cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the cabbage and add 3 tablespoons vinegar bring to a boil. Let it simmer for at about 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water and what it change colour! 

For Orange Eggs

You will need:

• 4 Tbsp of Paprika
• 3 Tbsp of Vinegar
• 2 Cups of Boiling water

Boil eggs in water with the vinegar and paprika. Let it simmer for at about 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water.
