This is how you will make vegetable patterns on Easter eggs. So simple that even a child will succeed

Egg painting is an Easter tradition cultivated for many generations. One of the most popular ways to dye Easter eggs is to wet them in onion shells. They will then get a brown color. We present the basic way to make “onion” Easter eggs and such with an original, plant print.

It’s best to use white eggs. On these cream or yellow, the color may not come out that intense. We also need to prepare shells of yellow or red onions (the more shell, the more intense the color will be). We store them in such a way that moisture does not get to them.

To start with, we divide dry onion shells into smaller pieces so that they give as much a natural ingredient as possible. We throw them into a pot with boiling water and cook on a medium strong burner for 45-60 minutes. After this time, set the decoction to cool and strain it before cooking the eggs.

The eggs are thoroughly cleaned of all impurities and place them in a pot with a decoction. We also add a tablespoon of vinegar that fixes the dye.

We cook the whole for 10 minutes. We leave the eggs to cool in the decoction and finally remove the eggs prepared in this way on a paper towel.

In addition, on such eggs dyed with onion shells we can create interesting, floral patterns. How to get such an effect?

Before cooking eggs in the decoction of onion shells, you should Apply leaves or flowers to them and put them in a piece of tights so that the material adheres tightly to the surface of the shell. Finally, we tie the tights with a thread.

When the eggs cool down, we remove the tights from them. A beautiful, plant print will appear to our eyes. We also recommend lubricating Easter eggs with a little oil. Thanks to this they will be more shiny.

Small leaves with a clear shape are best suited to make patternsi.e. parsley, clover leaves or ferns. By experimenting with various plants, you can get unique and surprising decorative effects.
