Natural dyes for Easter eggs

Before dyeing eggs, they must be degreased - wiped with soapy water or alcohol

I'll tell you more about how I paint eggs.
I put the peel in a bowl.

I fill it with water. The eggs must also be wet.

I wrap eggs with wet husks and randomly wrap them with threads.

I put the eggs in a saucepan, pour cold water and set to boil.

When the eggs boil, I pour in the brilliant green. The amount of greenery depends on the volume of the pan. If it is large, pour more greens.

The eggs are cooked, I pull the end of the thread and unwind it right in the pan.

I clear the husk. rinse. When the eggs are dry, brush them with vegetable oil.

And here's what happens!

I hope you get this beauty too!

We prepare everything you need:
-10 eggs
-1 vial of brilliant green, in the common people it is called brilliant green (if you want a richer color, you can also 2)
-1 tablespoon of salt
-threads
-toothpick
- wide bandage
-gloves
-scissors
- dry onion peel
- a pair of notebook sheets
- stainless steel saucepan
-water
- vegetable oil

We cut the husk with scissors, it is not important to make identical pieces, the more varied the husk is cut, the more individuality of the resulting pattern.

Now we will cut a notebook sheet, also arbitrarily, into triangles, squares, you can cut out circles and even snowflakes, combine the husk and paper and mix

Carefully inspect the eggs for small cracks, best of all in good light, I do it by the window so that the eggs do not burst during the cooking process, later I will give a couple of tips on how to avoid this, but you should not be afraid of burst eggs either, brilliant green is harmless , I, as a physician, declare responsibly
So, the eggs have been examined, let's start packing, namely the bandage, it needs to be folded into at least 3 layers, put an egg on this piece, try it on, so to speak, there should be enough free space around it.

We take an egg, moisten it well with water, even under a stream of water, even in a saucer, it’s more convenient for anyone, carefully dump the egg in our husk-paper mixture and put it on a piece of bandage, lift the corners of the bandage up, so that you don’t move it , in which we rolled the egg, we collect all the corners into one whole and carefully fasten the thread at the base, we get a bag with an egg.

During this operation, you must be extremely careful and careful not to crush or drop the egg, remember that they are still raw, and the result of the fall is known to everyone
We wrapped it up, proceeded to the next one, and so on until we have all the eggs packed in cute gauze bags.

We are looking for a saucepan, it must certainly be made of metal, such as stainless steel, you don’t want to throw away your favorite enameled saucepan, do you? Maybe they are still washed, but firstly, I didn’t take risks, and secondly, I don’t have enameled pans
The second condition, the pan should be of such a diameter that the eggs in the bags lay in one layer, again, to prevent cracking of the eggs.

We fill the eggs with water so that it covers our eggs, but so that they do not swim freely in it, like ducks, otherwise, during the boiling process, the eggs hit each other and crack, the gauze bags will soften the blows, but if there is too much water, the consequences cannot be avoided. The water should be at the temperature of the eggs, that is, if the eggs are at room temperature, then the water with which you fill them should be the same, if the eggs are from the refrigerator, then cold water, there should not be a temperature difference, the eggs will also crack from this.

Filled in, proceed to the most important operation, to add brilliant green. My bubbles are comfortable, the lid is unscrewed without unpleasant consequences, if you have a different green, remember the gloves, put them on and start opening the bubble, you don’t want to go on holiday with green fingers, this is Easter, not Halloween, and remember, never, hear, never open green with your teeth! It's even scarier than green fingers, I assure you!
We opened it, carefully, holding the vial closer to the water, pour the brilliant green, for 10 eggs - 1 vial (10 ml), you can do more, you don’t need to mix, it will spread itself and penetrate into all layers.
Now the dish needs to be salted, this is believed to prevent cracking of eggs, retain color, I don’t know how important this is, but I salt, it’s not scary to oversalt in this case.
And now you ask me why did we prepare a toothpick? Once upon a time and I don’t remember where I read or heard that if you put a toothpick in water when boiling eggs, they won’t burst, it’s checked, it works! Add a toothpick.

In the photo, the water is more blue than green, but these are shooting errors

We put the pan on the fire, do not make it too strong, the temperature should increase gradually, this will also protect against cracks, boil, reduce and cook at an average boil for 15-20 minutes. Naturally, the longer they cook, the more saturated the color, but longer 30 no need to cook for minutes.

We boiled, first put the pan under hot water, then gradually transfer it to cold water, in the meantime, do not forget to wear gloves! We are preparing a garbage bag so that we immediately put our packaging and egg bags into it.

Carefully, very carefully, with the help of scissors, we free the eggs from the bags, squeeze the bag, send it to the trash bag, rinse the egg well with cold water!

The sink and pan are well washed with a creamy cleaning agent.

In the process of dyeing, I came out without loss, not a single egg burst!!!
We rub the cooled, dry eggs with cheesecloth dipped in oil for shine.

Natural dyes for dyeing Easter eggs
Table of natural dyes for coloring Easter eggs (in shell) (checked by the authors of the post).
In addition to the "table" of dyes, under the cut, the meaning of colors in icon painting is given, which can be taken into account when coloring Easter eggs, besides, this is not uninteresting and may be useful to someone). All eggs in the photo are dyed by the authors using natural dyes.

All eggs in the photographs are dyed with blueberries, turmeric and cherry branches.

But the methods of coloring with other natural dyes described below in the "table" are also verified by the authors).

RED(pink) COLOR - decoction of CHERRY BARK or CHERRY BRANCHES. Boil the bark or sprigs of cherries, let it brew for several hours (it is better to boil and leave overnight), be sure to strain, boil eggs in this infusion. If the decoction of the cherry bark is made weak, the eggs will turn PINK accordingly.

BLUE(blue) COLOR - a decoction of BLUEBERRY berries (boil frozen blueberries for a short time and strain. Cool. Put eggs washed in warm water and boil. The intensity of the color depends on the concentration - the number of berries per volume of water. To get a BLUE color, blueberries require a small amount - about 2 tablespoons per 250 g of water To get a PURPLE color - blueberries need to be taken as for blue or a little more, but let it brew for several hours, it is better to leave the broth overnight) before boiling eggs in this broth.

YELLOW- dilute the TURMERIC solution in water (first grind the turmeric powder in a small amount of water and only then add it to the container in which the eggs will be colored) and boil the eggs. CHAMOMILE - gives a delicate yellow color, chamomile can be boiled and strained or boiled eggs together with sachets of chamomile. POMEGRANATE PEEL gives a yellow color - boil the eggs directly with the pomegranate peel or boil the peel and strain, cool and then boil the eggs. The authors of this post were not impressed with the color obtained by painting with pomegranate peel.

BROWN COLOR- gives a decoction of OAK BARK, a decoction of ONION HUSK, it will also turn brown if you boil eggs with CHICORY POWDER (soluble or not), if you boil eggs in a strong INfusion of BLACK TEA, you can in bags, the eggs will look like onion husks painted with tea Easter eggs are painted by Athos monks. A decoction of dried berries (or frozen) ARKHOME will give a brown tint.

GREEN COLOR- if you add TURMERIC powder to the filtered BLUEBERRY broth, you will get a green color of a very beautiful shade. A beautiful TENDER GREEN color can be obtained if you boil eggs with CARROT BOTTLE - by spring, carrots germinate and you can use these sprouts of a soft green color or specially sprout the roots of carrots in advance. But only the carrot tops that sprouted in the spring color the eggs, and the carrots should not be young, but harvested in autumn. Checked). There is a lot of trouble with carrot tops and the end result is not worth the effort.

BORDEAUX, WINE COLOR- learn if you boil eggs in RED WINE, or a mixture of red wine and water .. or in black grape juice, you can buy black grapes, make a decoction from it, strain, cool and boil eggs in this decoction. However, it should be noted that grape (wine) dye is not stable.

In all cases, after removing already colored eggs from the container where they were boiled, the eggs should not be rubbed with a towel with effort. Eggs should be washed by holding under running warm water and dried (gently !!) with a cotton napkin or towel. You can smear eggs for shine with a swab soaked in vegetable oil).

Fanaticism in egg-coloring is unacceptable, exact proportions are a thankless task.)

Approximate proportions still need to be given:

For 1.2 liters of water - 2-3 full tablespoons of frozen blueberries. Only a fresh decoction will give a pleasant blue or blue tint, a decoction that has been infused for several hours will give a purple tint.

For GREEN EGGS. For 1 liter of blueberry decoction - 2-3 full teaspoons of turmeric powder. Turmeric, in order to avoid the appearance of lumps, pre-grind with water in a small bowl and only then place in blueberry broth.

IMPORTANT note - in order to get a PROGRESSIVE GREEN color, you need to use a fresh decoction of blueberries, if the decoction of blueberries is infused or for coloring green, a decoction is used in which the eggs have already been stained blue, then, when mixed with turmeric, such a decoction will give more grassy green. According to the authors, it is better to make a blueberry decoction for a green tint fresh.

Dyeing eggs in onion skins
This is the most famous and common way of coloring eggs. At the same time, the color scheme turns out to be very diverse - from a slightly yellowish tint to a rich dark blue color. The result depends on the concentration of onion broth and on the color of the husk itself.
The husks are usually started to be collected in advance, and the larger the amount, the richer the color of the eggs will be. If you mix the husks of different varieties of onions (regular, white, red), then the results will be very unexpected and interesting.
Eggs are dyed in onion skins in two ways. You can boil them directly with onion peel, or you can leave pre-cooked eggs in onion broth overnight. Naturally, the intensity of the resulting shades will be different.
If you want the color to be more saturated, you need to take more husks and cook it for about half an hour before lowering the eggs into the broth.

Coloring eggs in herbal and leafy decoctions, in tea
For this purpose, decoctions from the leaves of birch, apple, nettle, chamomile, etc. are ideal. An excellent result can be achieved by coloring eggs in tea - black, green, hibiscus (Sudanese rose). To do this, you just need to boil the eggs in a solution of the selected tea.
To make the eggs yellow or golden, they are dyed with birch leaves. The decoction is prepared from the leaves, you can dry, young birch and infused for about half an hour. Wash the eggs, dip in a warm infusion, cook for 10 minutes. after boiling, remove and cool.

Coloring eggs with juices of vegetables and fruits
Boiled eggs are rubbed with juices: beetroot, carrot, sorrel or spinach juice, red cabbage, strawberries, blueberries, etc.

Coloring eggs in multi-colored threads
Eggs are wrapped with shedding multi-colored threads in random order before cooking. It is better to take threads that are dyed with natural dyes. If the threads do not shed, then when cooked in a dye solution, interesting light stripes simply turn out on the eggs.

Coloring eggs in coffee
With this method, eggs are boiled in strong coffee or left in it overnight.

There are many more folk or family ways to color eggs. You can apply ink on boiled eggs; when cooking, you can wrap the eggs with silk multi-colored shreds; you can color the eggs with fukortsina, greenery or methylene blue solution(however, the listed methods are a bit extreme). But there is one general advice: when coloring eggs, rely on your skill, experience and imagination.

Good afternoon my friends!! Today we are waiting for a very exciting and interesting topic. We will learn how to paint Easter eggs on our own. After all, Easter this year is very soon and falls on April 8th. So it's time to get acquainted with all the methods and methods of staining.

Did you know that the rite of painting eggs has been going on since ancient times?! People glorified the God of the Sun with such a rite, and the color for coloring was chosen red.

There is also another story of this tradition, which is considered the most truthful. Listen here if you don't know:

The news that Jesus was resurrected spread very quickly. And Magdalene decided to be the first to report such good news to Emperor Tiberius. To do this, she took an egg, which means a symbol of life, and presented it to the emperor with the words "Christ is Risen!". But Tiberius did not believe this and said: "The dead will never become alive." Then he took the egg and said these words: “Just as this egg cannot be red, so this story is all fiction to mislead him!” But to his surprise and in front of everyone who was present at that moment, the egg began to turn red.

Thanks to this legend, there was a custom to paint eggs for Easter, so we remember the Resurrection of Christ.

The egg is the main attribute of the Easter holiday, as new life is born from it, which in turn symbolizes rebirth.

Of course, in our modern times, there are many different ways to dye eggs. Sell ​​special food paints and stickers for decoration. But home methods certainly remain in every family and are available to everyone. Therefore, let's deal with natural techniques without dyes in order.

Onion peel as a means of coloring eggs has been known to people for a long time, and it is very simple to do. I think you have dyed eggs in this way more than once ?! Well, if you have not tried it yet, then I will tell you everything and show you.

We will need:

• Saucepan (preferably old);
• Onion peel - tightly packed 0.5 liter jar;
• Water - 1 liter;
• Salt - 1 tablespoon;
• Raw eggs.

Stages of work:

1. So, first we need to prepare a concentrated decoction of the husk. To do this, take dishes, preferably small, so that our paint is more saturated. Crush the prepared husk and place in a saucepan. Next, fill it with water, wait for the husk to get wet and settle in the bowl.

Important!! Onion peel must be collected in advance and put in a plastic bag.

2. Put this broth on the fire and bring to a boil. But it is important to monitor the water so that it does not run away, otherwise you risk painting the stove too)). After boiling, the broth must be boiled for 5 minutes and removed from heat.

3. The liquid should cool slightly. Add salt to the pan, so you protect the eggs from cracking.

By the way, you can boil the husk in the evening, and paint the eggs themselves in the morning.

4. Now let's prepare the eggs. They must be thoroughly washed under water. If you have been preparing the broth since the evening, then part of the onion peel can be removed, but if you use freshly prepared, then it is better not to throw out the husk, but cook it together with the eggs.

To give an even color, the decoction is best boiled in advance and let it brew overnight. And onion peel in the process of boiling eggs, it is better to completely remove.

5. So, put the broth on the fire along with the eggs and boil everything for at least 10 minutes, while gently stirring the husk so that it does not stick to the shell, as unpainted spots may remain.

After 5 minutes, the eggs will not color well, but don't worry, everything will work out later!!

6. After 10-15 minutes, carefully remove the eggs from the paint and put a new portion.

Finished eggs can be decorated with wax crayons or stick stickers.

We paint eggs in onion skins, but with a pattern

Above, we examined the method of coloring in an even tone, now let's see how you can do everything with drawings.

I found another interesting version of egg coloring. Since during Great Lent you can’t eat fast food, and the bird is still rushing these days, our ancestors found the next way out of the situation. Laid eggs were boiled so that they did not deteriorate and they were dyed in order to distinguish them from raw ones.

So, in order to dye eggs with onion skins, but with a pattern, we need all the same materials: the onion peel itself, eggs, water, salt, saucepan, parsley leaves, cilantro or basil.

By the way, eggs are needed fresh and white, and rustic ones are best, as they are larger and tastier.

Before painting, the eggs must be at room temperature, not cold. And to make the color saturated, moisten a cloth with vinegar before work and wipe each testicle.

Stages of work:

1. Boil a decoction of onion skins and prepare the eggs according to the method described above.

2. Then take an egg and moisten with water the place where the pattern will be located and immediately attach a leaf or several leaves there. After that, take nylon socks or gauze and wrap our product so that the leaf does not fall off during cooking.

3. After that, put the blanks in a saucepan with broth and cook for 20 minutes.

4. After that, cool and remove the robe. Look how beautiful it turns out!!

You can also use threads or rubber bands, wrapping them randomly and securing them before lowering them into the broth, and after cooking, remove them.

And you can add a couple of drops of brilliant green to the onion paint, it will turn out marble effect.

Also, products can be speckled, for this we need rice. The process is the same: boil the broth, peel the eggs, and then pour some rice into a small bowl. Next, soak the egg in water, then dip in rice and place on a piece of gauze, rewinding well.

Boil for 20 minutes, remove cheesecloth and rice, admire.

If you want to receive openwork pattern then use lace fabric or tulle. To implement this method, wrap the eggs in a fabric with a pattern and dip in a decoction with onion peel. Simmer for 20 minutes, then drain and remove the cloth.

To add shine, after painting, grease the products with a cotton swab, which you soak in vegetable oil.

To receive abstractions, onion peel should be finely chopped. Then add some chopped white paper to it. Roll the eggs in this mixture and wrap in cheesecloth. Then we lower the blanks into water and cook for 35 minutes. Cool and remove gauze and cut materials.

Well, in addition to onion peels, there are also natural dyes. I found an excellent tablet assistant in this matter, I share with you.

The ancient Slavs first dyed eggs with blood, it was a kind of sacrifice. And then we switched to paint and added bright colors.

And at the end of the method of coloring with onion peel, I want to give you a couple of tips so that all your experiments turn out to be successful.

1. There should be enough decoction of the husk so that it can completely cover the eggs.
2. The shell should be clean and smooth, so the color will lie evenly.
3. You can paint with or without peel.
4. Heat the eggs before painting by holding them for a minute in warm water.
5. Vinegar can be added to enhance the color.
6. Painted eggs rub with vegetable oil, so you get a spectacular shine.

Methods and features of dyeing eggs for Easter.

The tradition of dyeing chicken eggs in different colors for Easter has come to us since ancient times.

One of the amazing explanations is related to the resurrection of Christ, after which one of his followers came to the ruler and brought an egg as a gift. The woman reported the good news, to which the ruler was skeptical. He noted that the egg in her hand would sooner turn red than a person could be resurrected. And so it happened. Before their eyes, the egg changed color.

Nowadays, you can easily buy chemical paints or ready-made drawings on thermal film to decorate eggs for the Bright Holiday. But natural dyes are healthier. And the process itself with their use is more like magic.

Let's talk about them in more detail in this article.

After the shell has dried, treat it with vegetable oil, which will give the eggs a shine.

Remembering Easter eggs. History of life. Sometime before Easter
companies with fairly well-known musical groups noted
someone's birthday. And of course, having drunk too much, they started acting weird. Eggs
decided to paint. As they decided, they did it. Painted. Sasha to the guitarist.
I don’t remember why, but in the color of the Ukrainian flag .. one is blue, the second
yellow. Painted and booze continued successfully on. The most interesting
happened two weeks later .. when this most painted of binge
began to go out, and showed up to the doctor with his green eggs.
