Basically take an old pot, as this will stain, and collect as many red and yellow onion peels as possible. We usually take them at the grocery store and almost always get a weird look from the cashier - You want the peels only??? Anyway, put them into the pot and boil until the water takes on the brownish hue. We then take brown eggs and boil them in this water. You get lovely brown eggs. We then either scratch them with the edge of a knife, or you could use a wax crayon to make a pattern, the dunk into cooled dye, and the wax comes off under hot water. We always use a little butter/oil to make the eggs shine in our Easter basket.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823767091787001229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231109811143670731.post-1451674003659059022011-04-24T00:41:14.771-05:002011-04-24T00:41:14.771-05:00Beautiful blog..Thank you for sharing ~ HPS & ...Beautiful blog..Thank you for sharing ~ HPS & Happy Easter~Bluebirds and Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232590870193831655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231109811143670731.post-27697194415938065462011-04-23T11:15:33.953-05:002011-04-23T11:15:33.953-05:00Been there done that!

Use to do with my kids at school but we have a few now that would either try to drink the dye or dump it over.<br /><br />Have a good one.<br /><br />MelindaMelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686645083942652050noreply@blogger.com
