Simple Easter Egg Dye Recipe

Easter eggs made using this Easter egg dye recipe come out brighter and more vivid than the ones dyed with the tablets-- and they're just as easy to make. The ingredients below are for one egg bath (that is, one color). Of course you'll want to do several. Also, be sure to use glass or metal containers to make this Easter egg dye recipe-- the color may stain china or plastic dishes.

Ingredients:

10 drops of food coloring
1 tsp. white vinegar
1/2 C. boiling water
1 tbsp. oil (optional-- for tie-dyed eggs)

Optional Decorations: glitter
white craft glue
stickers
other decorations

Instructions: For each separate color, combine the boiling water, vinegar, and food coloring in a bowl.

Dip hard-boiled eggs in the color of your choice for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer left in the dye, the brighter the egg will be.

Remove from dye, blot excess dye with a paper towel, and set on plastic or parchment paper to dry.
