DIY Easter Egg Dye

A Craft Recipe from the Peaceful Mom!

Ingredients

  • hard boiled eggs
  • glass dish or mug for each color
  • spoon for each container
  • white vinegar
  • food coloring*
  • paper towels

Instructions

  1. Place 1/2 cup of room temperature water (not cold) into each mug or dish.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar and 10 drops of food coloring to each container. You can use more food coloring if colors are not dark enough.
  3. Stir well.
  4. Using a spoon, dip egg into dye. (Use one spoon for each color to avoid mixing colors.)
  5. Make sure to rotate the egg if the dye does not completely cover it.
  6. The longer the egg sits in the dye, the darker the color will be.
  7. Remove egg using a spoon and blot it on a paper towel.
  8. Allow to dry.

Notes

*If you have a gluten free child, please make sure that your food coloring is gluten free. Walmart brand is not.
