How to paint Easter eggs in an original way. Easter food coloring

Dyeing eggs for Easter is an integral ritual of one of the main Christian holidays, symbolizing the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This holiday is beautiful and solemn, with well-established centuries-old traditions. In addition to a deep religious meaning, Easter is associated with the purification of the soul and home, with delicious Easter cakes and Easter dishes.

The egg is rightfully considered a symbol of the birth of life, and the Easter painted egg means the resurrection from the dead and eternal life. It turns out that painted eggs were found in Egyptian and Sumerian tombs, which were built as early as the 3rd millennium BC. e. It is even difficult to imagine how many years such a tradition has existed.

Orthodox paint eggs during Holy Week on Maundy Thursday or Red Saturday. In 2019, these are April 26 and 28, respectively. Painted eggs are consecrated in the church at a festive service, and the first meal after Lent begins with eggs.

Do-it-yourself painting eggs for Easter has become not only a family art, but also a kind of competition - whose eggs are the most beautiful. And there are a lot of ways to paint eggs. You can, of course, paint eggs for Easter with paints, but this is still harmful chemistry, and food paints are not always on sale. I offer you natural ways to dye eggs at home.

Coloring eggs with onion skins - the traditional way

This is my favorite and most reliable way to color eggs. With this method, the eggs are always a beautiful color. I start harvesting onion peel a few months before Easter - I collect it in a separate bag. To make the color of the eggs saturated, there should be a lot of onion peel.

Pour the onion peel into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Put on the stove and bring to a boil.

Choose a worse pot, because the husk will paint the sides of the pot so that it will be difficult to clean.

Pour the eggs in a separate bowl with cold water and leave for 10 minutes.

Water with onion peel boils at this time, we reduce the fire so that the eggs do not crack. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the pan and carefully drop the eggs one at a time. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

If you want a more intense color, remove the pan from the heat and leave the eggs in this solution for a while.

After removing from the pan, let the eggs cool slightly and rub them with sunflower oil with a paper towel to shine.

Now the eggs “played” with paint, you can put them in a basket and bring them to the church to consecrate. I try to bless the eggs every Easter, and then treat my family, friends and neighbors.

How to dye eggs in onion skins with a pattern

If in the first recipe it was possible to use any eggs - white or brown, then white eggs are suitable for painting with onion peel with a pattern.

To decorate the eggs, we prepare the leaves of the plants in advance. Before Easter, fresh leaves are not always there, because this holiday can be in March, when nature is still sleeping. Therefore, you can use fresh herbs from the store - parsley, basil, dill, mint or lemon balm.

Birch leaves look beautiful. You can put a few branches in a vase of water in advance, and when the leaves bloom, use a few to decorate Easter eggs.

Lace, woolen threads are also suitable for coloring eggs with a pattern.

Also, you will need to prepare clean old stockings, tights or gauze in advance. You will also need thread.

So let's color the eggs.

Pour onion peel with cold water and bring to a boil.

We wash the eggs, dry them with a paper towel and wipe each egg with a cloth with vinegar.

We put a leaf or other decor on the egg, press it tightly and wrap the egg in a piece of stocking fabric or gauze.

To make the leaf adhere more tightly to the egg, it can be slightly moistened with water.

We tie a nylon or gauze fabric with a thread.

You can beautifully and originally paint eggs with lace and onion peel. It's simple - cut off the lace of the desired length and wrap the egg around it. We tie the ends with a thread and cut off all the excess.

You can also decorate the egg with woolen threads. Just randomly wrap the egg with string.

So that the eggs do not crack, pour 1 tbsp into the broth. l. salt. Carefully lower the eggs into the broth with onion peel and cook for 10-15 minutes. After that, the eggs are carefully immersed in cold water.

We remove the decor from the cooled eggs and wipe the eggs with vegetable oil.

Marble eggs with greenery

And this is my favorite method. Eggs are unusually beautiful, with marble stains. I will share one secret of this method - the more we chop the onion peel, the more beautiful the drawing will turn out. You can even try to grind the husk in a coffee grinder. I like to grind the husk with scissors.

To make the husks stick well to the eggs, moisten them with water, then roll each egg in the onion skins. In a piece of gauze or stocking, put some more husks, place the egg inside and wrap around. Tie the ends with thread. Put to boil in a saucepan, adding 1 tsp. salt. 5 minutes after boiling, pour in 2 tsp. greens and cook for another 5 minutes. Then pour over the eggs with cold water and remove the gauze, remove the husk. Rub eggs with sunflower oil.

Beautiful marble eggs are ready!

How to dye eggs with onion skins and rice

Another simple and wonderful option for dyeing eggs in natural ways. The rice sticks to the eggs and the result is a pattern in the form of droplets. This method is very simple, try it. In addition to rice, you can also use peas.

Pour grains of rice or peas into a stocking, place an egg there, distribute the grain with your fingers around the entire circumference of the egg. We tie the fabric, and dip the eggs into the prepared broth with onion peel. Cook for 10 minutes, wash the eggs under running cold water and remove the stocking or gauze and grains. After the eggs have cooled down a bit, rub them with vegetable oil.

Coloring eggs with natural dyes

I already wrote that it is fundamentally against chemistry and coloring eggs with paints. Yes, it is beautiful and brighter, but health is more important. Moreover, there is a good replacement in the form of natural and harmless dyes from natural ingredients. Of course, these are all kinds of juices - beetroot, blueberry juice, red cabbage juice, spinach juice and others. From the juice of cranberries, raspberries and beets you get a pink color, from the juice of blueberries, pomegranate or blackcurrant - purple, and if you want to get blue or blue, then use the juice of red cabbage. Turmeric gives you a rich yellow color, while black tea or coffee gives you brown hues. After boiling the bark and branches of the cherry, you get reddish-raspberry eggs. I want to warn you that bright colors are not always obtained in this way. To make the color brighter, after boiling the eggs, you need to keep them in the broth for at least 4 hours, and it is better to leave them overnight.

Coloring eggs with beets

If you want to get the pink color of eggs, then beetroot juice is suitable for this coloring method. Dyeing eggs in a natural way takes a little more tinkering than regular paints, but if you care about your health, then this work will pay off handsomely.

Beets need to be prepared in such a way that more juice is obtained. To do this, grate the beets, pour water and cook for 5-7 minutes. You can boil eggs in the same broth. Then we wipe the beets through a strainer, we get a rich burgundy juice. Pour eggs with this juice in a separate bowl, pour 1 tbsp. l. vinegar and leave for 4-8 hours.

Coloring eggs with red cabbage juice

Red cabbage will give the eggs a blue color.

The coloring method is similar to the previous one. We cut the cabbage into large pieces, fill it with water, cook for 5-7 minutes together with the eggs, decant the hot broth into a separate bowl. Add 1 tbsp. l. vinegar and keep eggs in this broth for 4-8 hours.

How to dye eggs with turmeric

Turmeric gives perhaps the most intense color of all natural dyes. Eggs are beautiful, bright yellow.

For such painting, pour a bag of turmeric (15 gr.) into boiling water, stir and add 1 tsp. salt. We put eggs in this solution and cook for 10 minutes. In order for the paint to be brighter, leave the eggs in this solution for several hours. For shine, rub with sunflower oil.

Coloring eggs with coffee or tea

I want to warn you right away that with the help of coffee or tea, you get a not very saturated, but delicate beige color of eggs.

You can use both natural and instant coffee or black tea. For coloring, we prepare a solution - put 4-5 tbsp in boiling water. l. coffee in 0.5 liters of water. If you use tea, you will also need 4-5 tbsp. l. black tea for brewing. Cook for 5 minutes, add 1 tsp. salt and omit the eggs. Cook for another 7 minutes. And as always for natural dyes, it is advisable to keep it in the solution longer, at least 5 hours.

How to dye eggs with blueberry juice

The blueberry coloring method is similar to the previous ones. The eggs come out a beautiful purple color.

For 1 liter of water you will need 2.5-3 cups of frozen blueberries. Berries need to be boiled a little (5 minutes), pour 1 tsp. salt and omit the eggs. You can rub the blueberries through a strainer after cooking, get pure juice without berries. But I don’t bother, I just boil eggs with berries. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, pour 1 tbsp. l. vinegar to fix the color. You can leave the eggs in the pot overnight.

Decoupage Easter eggs

I learned about this method of decorating eggs quite recently, a couple of years ago, and it has become my favorite. After all, there are a lot of napkins with a variety of beautiful patterns in our stores now, you need to choose the brighter one, and then you get very beautiful and original eggs.

1. Napkins for decoupage should be chosen with a medium-sized pattern to fit on the egg.
2. We select white eggs for decoupage.
3. It is better to choose napkins on a white background, then the pattern will not have to be cut very carefully with scissors.
4. The best way to stick napkins is with egg white.

To get beautiful and whole Easter eggs, you need to remember 7 basic rules:

1. Before boiling eggs, they need to be removed from the refrigerator a few hours in advance. Eggs should not be cold!
2. Eggs should be boiled over low heat, avoiding cracking.
3. So that the eggs do not burst, you need to put in water with eggs 1 tbsp. l. salt.
4. To fix the pigment in the paint, pour 1 tsp into the coloring solution. vinegar, the color will become brighter.
5. If you want a more intense color when coloring eggs with natural dyes, leave the eggs in the broth overnight.
6. Wipe the dyed eggs gently with a paper towel.
7. For shine and beauty, wipe the cooled eggs with sunflower oil.

I wish you a beautiful and delicious holiday. After all, Easter personifies the resurrection of life, nature, bright feelings. May this light come into every home and fill hearts with joy.

Cook from the moment of boiling for 10 minutes. You can wrap the egg with threads that shed well - then the thread pattern will remain on the egg.

• Eggs dyed in onion skins

For coloring eggs, it is best to use onion peel, which is harvested in advance. Depending on the color of the husk, the color of the eggs is from light red to dark brown. If you want the color to be more saturated, you need to take more husks and cook it for about half an hour before lowering the eggs into the broth.
Cool the prepared broth and dip the cleanly washed eggs into the infusion, bring to a boil and cook for another 10 minutes. Take out, cool

wrapped in gauze or stocking (the ends of the gauze must be tightly tied with a thread or secured with a rubber band so that the rice sticks to the egg)

We wait until the paint dries and in the center we draw the core of the flower with yellow paint. Remove excess dye with a dry cloth. Thus, we draw three flowers of different colors: red (as in the photo), yellow and blue. Then we draw green leaves.

With a marker we draw the contours of the flowers. Draw pistils and stamens in the middle of the flower.

After the paints have completely dried, we carry out the final stage - drawing small details and contours of flowers with a marker. And do not worry if you once again go beyond the contour or draw the line unevenly, on the contrary, it will be even more interesting. Because it doesn't have to be perfect.
