Happy Spring Homemakers! In our home we are brightening up our house with Easter eggs. In the post I will teach you below how to naturally dye eggs for your Spring decorating!
Here at our home, we are getting into the swing of creating new routines and schedules. Andrew and I are learning a lot about each other… like how I take up the whole bed and he steals covers… I think that evens out!
Read on for how I am decorating this Spring with Easter Eggs. If you want more ideas for welcoming Spring into your home check out this blog post on 4 Ways to Welcome Spring in Your Home | Spring Homemaking

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.
I hope you enjoyed learning how to decorate your Easter Eggs naturally! How are you celebrating spring this year?
