Natural Dyes aren’t just for fabric! Easter is the perfect time to create some beautiful colors and natural designs on eggs. We dyed leaf printed eggs at our weekly homeschool class yesterday and they turned out so beautifully! It was an easy process that boiled and dyed the eggs at the same time.

We used onion skins and turmeric with the kids and today I dyed a few more with beets. Here’s how we did it!

During our Wild Living week of summer camp, we dyed merino wool with a variety of natural materials grown or gathered right here. They are (mostly) solar dyed, meaning we used the hot summer sun to heat up our dye material and it worked out great! Read on to see what we used to create these beautiful colors.
