Coloring Easter Eggs

Hello one & all...spent the weekend preparing for the upcoming holiday. Priced store bought color kits between $.99 and $1.69, depending on what was included. Homemade color is super easy to make and very inexpensive. (Given that you do not buy your liquid food color at a supermarket for $3.00 and up! Yikes...try Save-a-lot and Dollar General type stores for low cost replacements...) Mix 4 oz. of white vinegar and 2 oz. of water. Add 15-20 drops of color and mix. Yup...that simple! Add in eggs and soak till desired shade. This recipe offers great versatility as you can create any colors your children would like. These colors are NOT neon strength but will certainly create pretty, pastel eggs for the basket. Finish with stickers, glue, glitter and sequence for a spectacular display. Happy Easter everyone! Blessings, Eve

If you have little ones have them put the egg inside a wire whisk to dip it. It keeps their hands clean and prevents dropping them off those silly little egg holders.
