Naturally Coloured Easter Eggs
A Tutorial for Easter Egg Colouring. Colouring Easter eggs naturally using red and yellow onion peels is a tradition many families still follow. It's a fun activity for kids and the whole family.
Ingredients
Instructions
Take the onion peels and put them in a pot.
Place a leaf of your choice on the egg and slide it inside a pantyhose, tie a thread on each side of the egg to prevent the leaf from sliding. Repeat the process until all the eggs are "dressed" in pantyhose. (Thick and stiff leaves don't work as well as they don't cling to the egg enough to produce a clear print.)

Love this!! we used to do the same thing with our Easter eggs! Except mom made her "food coloring" by boiling red and yellow onion peels - time-consuming process.
Absolutely beautiful.
