Did you know onion skins are great to dye your Easter eggs? You just have to boil eggs with onion skins till the time you get the desired colour on them. You can also use any sheer fabric to tie leaves to the eggs so that they get dyed with patterns.

3. Dye Eggs with Floral and Leafy Patterns

Collect some small leaves and flowers according to the size of the eggs. Tie them using a mesh cloth to the eggs and then soak the eggs in water containing different dyes. Once the eggs have absorbed the colour remove the leaves and flowers and cherish the lovely creations you just made.

4. Hand Painted Easter Eggs
