Dying easter eggs the natural way was introduced to me by my mother (not sure where she found out how to do it, but you can go onto the internet)..It sounded intriguing, so we ended up doing it. ( I really mean that she ended up doing it, but it was so cool, I have to claim something!)
Pale Red: Fresh beets or cranberries, frozen raspberries
Orange: Yellow onion skins
Light yellow: Orange or lemon peels, carrot tops, celery seed or ground cumin
Yellow: Ground turmeric
Pale green: Spinach leaves
Green-gold: Yellow Delicious apple peels
Blue: Canned blueberries or red cabbage leaves
Beige to brown: Strong brewed coffee
We did the red cabbage leaves and the BLUE was extraordinary..not kidding. IT was a BEAUTIFUL royal blue and was our favorite. The 2nd coolest one was the onion peels...it was similar to a terra cotta color. See pictures. The terracotta is at the top right and the royal blue one is at the bottom (we added glitter). Sorry the picture is so fuzzy up close.
