Plus, if you are trying to be more eco-friendly, this recipe is a natural, eco-friendly idea for painting your Easter eggs using beet juice. You will be amazed at how good these turn out.
Chop up 4 beets and put them into a saucepan with 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, turn down to medium heat and let beets simmer for about 20 minutes.
With a fine mesh strainer, strain your beets (can add them to your salad for dinner later, yum) and add in 1.5 tbsp of white vinegar. Vinegar helps the beet dye bind to your egg. Let cool.
Place your hard boiled eggs in a container like a bread loaf pan, and cover them with the beet juice. Let eggs sit in the beet juice for 20-30 minutes to dye them. If you want your Easter eggs a lighter pink shade, remove them sooner. For darker eggs, let them sit long as desired, even up to overnight.
Dry off your beet-dyed Easter eggs, being careful not to rub the beet dye too much or it will come off the egg.
Get your markers ready to decorate the beet-dyed Easter eggs.
Start off with coloring a circle on your beet-dyed Easter egg with the lightest pink marker.
Then take the next marker shade and go over the same circle a bit adding more depth of color. Finally, with your darkest pink shade add even more color.
Take your black fine liner and make a circle. Keep this pattern going until your circle gets smaller and smaller. Now you have simple and whimsical roses!
Take a green marker and color some leaves on your beet-dyed Easter egg, and then go over them again with a black fine tip marker.
Lastly, take your Sharpie Paint Pen and paint on little white dot details. The Sharpie paint pen is perfect for this because the dots come out so smoothly, but you can use regular acrylic paint too with a toothpick.
Well, that's it! Keep on going until all of your beet-dyed Easter eggs are perfectly decorated with these pretty roses.
