How to paint Easter eggs in all the colors of the rainbow: folk methods

When it comes time to dye eggs, many people go to the store and buy special dyes.

But is this a reasonable solution? Therefore, it is worth figuring out how to paint eggs in all the colors of the rainbow using only folk methods.

Red

Beetroot and pomegranate are ideal natural dyes for creating a vibrant red color.

It is enough to boil beets or pomegranate peels in water, add a little vinegar to fix the color, and immerse the eggs in the resulting broth. The longer they are in the broth, the brighter the color will be.

Orange

Onion peel is a great source of orange dye. Onion peel should be placed in a saucepan and boiled.

To enhance the color, you can add a little turmeric. You need to dip the eggs into the resulting solution so that they are colored.

Yellow

Lemon juice is a great natural dye for bright yellow. Squeeze the lemon and add it to the water.

Of course, we can't talk about bright colors in this case. However, if the eggs are white, lemon juice will color them a little.

Green

Green color can be created using various leaves and herbs. To do this, you need to wrap the eggs in green plants, the most popular ones include:

1. Parsley.
2. Basil.
3. Spinach.

The plants need to be fixed using gauze. It is worth adding a little alcohol to the water so that the plants "give up" their color.

Blue

Blueberries and red cabbage contain pigments that create a beautiful blue hue. However, finding blueberries in the spring is a real challenge.

Achieving a rich blue color is difficult, but this method is definitely worth trying.

Violet

Purple color can be obtained using blueberries or raspberries.

You need to boil them in water, add a little vinegar and dip the eggs in. As a result, the eggs will turn purple, the shade should be quite saturated.

Earlier we talked about making soup from canned fish.
