Natural and organic way to color easter eggs

                         

Easter is right around the corner. And who doesn't like to color eggs. Its a great family activity, but most of the egg coloring there are, is artificial. So here is the recipe for easy natural egg coloring. 


We will need: 
  • Eggs as much as you want
  • Onion peel as much as you can get ( from white onion) 
  • Pretty Leafs and flowers 
  • Stockings or Cheese clothes 


  • Cut piece of stockings big enough to fit an egg and so you will be able to tighten them tight

  • Pick the prettiest leave or flower (make sure its flat) 

  • Wrap tights around it and make sure leaf is flat

  • Twist to make sure its tight 

  • Make a knot



  • Place eggs in the water with opinion peel and put on low heat
  • Boil for at least 30 min

(depends on color you like to have. longer cooking will make eggs darker) 

  • Take them out  and take tights off
  • Put in cold water for easy peeling
