DIY DYED ROBIN EGGS by Erica in DIY
One of my favorite colors is robin’s egg blue. I think the difficulty in
recreating the color using dyes and food coloring makes it all that
more attractive to me. Only Mother Nature can produce a blue that
spectacular. So it only makes sense that the magnificent turquoise
hue can be replicated using a single product of nature: red cabbage.
That’s right. Red cabbage! You won’t believe it until you try it. And I
promise if you haven’t dyed eggs with natural dyes before, you’ll be
hooked after trying this.
You’ll need: a dozen white, hard boiled eggs; 1 head of red cabbage;
4 tsp of white vinegar; edible metallic gold paint; thick bristle paint-
EASTER brush or old toothbrush
FACT:
Directions: Start by roughly chopping a head of red cabbage. Put the
The White cabbage in a large pot with 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then
House of simmer for 30-45 minutes. Allow the cabbage to cool completely be-
tradition of fore straining the cabbage out of cabbage dye. Stir in 4 tbs of white

with President Just wait. You’ll only have to wait as long as an hour to see the magic

Hayes! in the dye for about 1-2 hours. Because the bottom of the eggs make
contact with the baking dish, you’ll want to rotate the eggs every half
hour or so. When you pull an egg out of the dye, after 1-2 hours, you’ll
notice the color will look super faint. It’s okay. The color will darken
and develop a richer, greenish hue as it dries. I know, magic. I want-
ed an ombré of blues so I took a few of eggs out after an hour, after
two hours, after three hours and after four hours. If you are going to
leave the eggs for longer than that, or overnight, I suggest putting
the eggs and dye in the fridge. Once the eggs have dried completely,
you can leave them as they are or spray them with edible gold paint
for a pretty speckled effect. Lay the eggs on a few sheets of paper
towels. Dip a dry bristle brush or old toothbrush into the paint and
run your index finger along the bristles above the eggs. Let the paint
dry before splattering the opposite side. Your edible, robin eggs are
finished! Source: http://honestlyyum.com.
