Your kids eggs look wonderful!! I always have vinegar and food coloring in the pantry, so I've never even thought about buying a coloring kit.
My 'kids" are grown up but this is the FIRST year we haven't dyed eggs - and NOW you share the secret of food coloring! Eh, who says you can't have pretty colored eggs any day of the week?
I never knew that!! So thank you so much for sharing this news! Yes, when you use the kits, you could leave the egg in for HOURS and it is still pale. LOL! My son is 20, and the last time we dyed eggs was a long time ago, but I can get ready and keep this info to gear up for future grandkids! LOL! Have a wonderful Easter.
Best,
Gloria
Hi Jori~
I did not know that!! Wouldn't you know, I am long past coloring Easter eggs! Oh well, I'll save it for future grandchildren.
hugs and have a blessed Easter!
Altho I don't color eggs anymore, you just never know. I will pass this wonderful tip onto my grown up kids and they can use it. I will say you are right on, your eggs are lovely and the colors are bright.
Happy Pink Saturday and have a wonderful Easter weekend, Char
Your Easter eggs are very cheery and bright! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Easter to you and your family.

Your eggs are beautiful, love the bright colors. Oh I remember the smell of vinegar when I was a child, we always made a fun mess. LOL

Thank you for sharing.. Happy Easter & Happy Pink Saturday~
I spent Saturday with my great grandson and we dyed eggs. However, we did not do it this way. Too many fancy kits available now. Back in my early days, it was sweet and simple.
I love those bright colorful eggs. It's what the kids love. Our grand-girls did tie dyed eggs this year....LOL....Happy Easter
