Easter eggs dyed with natural methods: simple ideas for decorations

In less than no time will the Easter and we will not be prepared for anything! Let us not be caught unprepared and we begin to invent items and crafts that decorate our home, and if we go, we can give to friends and acquaintances. Thanks to some lessons of DIY targeted for the occasion, we can achieve the very nice Easter eggs dyed with natural methods.

We can usually achieve the solid background in this way and then add all the decorations that go through your head. And do not think it is complicated: it will take a few minutes to really amazing results! Our colored eggs will be even more beautiful because we will use all colors derived from vegetables and other natural measures.

There are no restrictions of color because we can get any mix you like. Some examples? Our favorite color is purple? No problem, with the juice of blackberries nsotro the shell of the egg will be exactly the ones we love! We want to combine egg blue in the blue bins? Nothing could be easier than putting them to boil the beets for an intense cobalt blue.

And then, you want to put the satisfaction of exposing the egg cup made of wood and wire with on another of your creations? An unending joy, do not you think? The egg as a symbol of new life has always been, to use Easter eggs as a symbol of this event. But what is the true meaning of Easter egg? According to Christian tradition, the egg is the symbol of the Resurrection, just because of its shell (which is a tomb) out a living.

During Paganism, then the egg was taken as a symbol of fertility, and then return to eternal life. Paint and decorate Easter eggs is a ritual, because they wish to give good and long life expectancy. In principle, give the eggs themselves, which were later replaced by those of chocolate.

Coloring with vegetables! To prepare natural colors, pot half filled with water and, depending on the tone we want to achieve, then we add an ingredient. Remember to always use natural methods. For red eggs, cut pieces of beetroot, while the green ones will fit the spinach. If you want blue eggs, boil the red cabbage, and a purple egg we dilute the juice more concentrated.

For the bright yellow, soaking turmeric, onion skins or blondes. For the brown we use an infusion of coffee, tea, or a handful of cumin seeds in water. Decorate with fancy colored eggs with water the plants we have chosen the colors for about half an hour to boil, then remove from heat and allow to cool.

We can see that the water has already taken an intense color which, however, we must add two tablespoons of vinegar to set the color well. Let us note that the water is cold before you put the eggs, otherwise it will rip. Once we dipped the eggs into the water, we again focus on low heat for 10-15 minutes.

The diluted paint will stick to the shells of the eggs, dyed uniformly. Now we can decorate them as we want!
