Pang! Who remembers it from the past - or more recently if you have kids? Those plastic egg mills with which you can easily paint an Easter egg all around never last long. Sooner or later that little feather jumps and your egg no longer clips. One and all frustration. Here you can see how to make your own egg mill out of cardboard in no time.<\/a> And that included paint: what is it made of? Our DIY expert Melanie got to work on something much more fun: natural paint for Easter eggs. She makes that natural paint herself. Bring on the beets!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Natural paint for eggs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For many children, it is a regular thing at Easter: painting boiled eggs. Most children probably do so with one of those frustrating disposable things - for lack of better. Now I have a fun tip: you can also paint Easter eggs with natural paint. That's paint you make from food like onions, avocado, coffee, beets or red cabbage. In short, very ordinary products that you might already have at home or can easily buy in the supermarket. And the great thing is, you can be sure there is no rubbish in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using natural ingredients such as red cabbage, blueberries and onion, you can dye your own Easter eggs. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint from vegetables, fruits and herbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I got the prettiest naturally dyed Easter eggs with red onion peels, red cabbage and blueberries. I also tried dyeing Easter eggs with hibiscus tea, but this turned out rather light. You could get green eggs by spinach<\/a> or avocado, or mix the dye bath of turmeric with some of the red cabbage: as yellow and blue together also makes green! If you only use a small layer in the dye bath, you could also make a two-coloured Easter egg. Are you convinced and want to get started with your own natural paint for Easter eggs? Then experiment with other vegetables, fruits and herbs too!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
