  • Add leaves or flowers for a decorative touch.

Many free recipes online give you advice on how long to cook the eggs and how to achieve the most intense colors. You can also find variations that include other natural ingredients like turmeric or beetroot.

Tips for the Perfect Easter Egg DIY Result

To get the best out of your Easter Egg DIY session, here are some helpful tips:

  1. Choose fresh eggs: Fresh eggs give the best results as the shell is more receptive to the color.
  2. Prepare your ingredients: Read through a recipe so you know what steps to follow.
  3. Experiment with softness: Some eggs become more intense in color if they soak longer in the dye bath.
  4. Patience is key: The longer the eggs stay in the dye bath, the deeper the color will be.
  5. Use vinegar: Vinegar helps fix the color and ensures a beautiful, long-lasting result.
