I know a lot of folks who don’t eat eggs (they’re allergic, for health reasons, or concerns about animal cruelty). Here’s an awesome site that gives tips on cooking and baking without eggs: http://EggFreeLiving.com

Brown eggs don’t work for me but if you can get some white ones i roll them in some food colouring and a drop of water and they come out all pastel hued and spring like. Pretty.

Here is an article from another blog I frequent about natural egg-dying. No mention of wrapping in socks! I haven’t tried it, as I have a 9-month old who doesn’t know what Easter is yet, much less have the ability to dye eggs, but see what you think – maybe it would work for you?

This is my problem, those dyes are impossible to find in France too!

Embrace the browness of the brown egg: decorate with brown and pink bunny ears (card board) some eyes and a nose (pen). Add a fluffy tail (cotton wool)
Hey presto!

Wow! Amazing Kadie – how do you make sure they don’t crack when painting? I’ve had that a couple of times and it is so annoying – must be so awful if it happens when you have put so much work into them.

I use those dyes too – but totally impossible to find here – so I always stock up when in Germany – or go to my favourite German Baker (Hansel & Pretzel – I love a kitsch name!) in Ham to buy some. However I have found some egg-dye kits available to buy online – check out:

Those bunny finger puppets are so darling. And they look simple enough to make… even for me!

LOVE your eggs, Kadie – they’re beautiful and totally outdo Martha’s!!

I always use those pills you can get at the supermarket. Not sure about the ‘green and natural sources’ but they do the trick wonderfully well. After you can rub a little oil on the eggs for a nice shine…
Totally agree on the Martha front, BTW. She’s just too impossibly perfect!

I am so glad someone else shares my sentiments about Martha!! I can NEVER get anything to turn out like her pictured crafts. I’ve heard you can use food coloring & water & vinegar to dye eggs, but I think you might need a liberal hand with the food coloring drops…..

Yes… but don’t you find Martha’s ideas to be impossibly difficult? Always cute, but never easy…

Last year I tried her idea of using little plants and flowers to leave beautiful prints on the eggs when you dye them… and it didn’t work at all!

Wish I was Martha!
