This is a beautiful Easter Egg project you can do with your kids using items you have in your home – AND backyard! What do I mean? These DIY Easter eggs have a leaf pattern and they’re so easy and gorgeous without needing a stencil!
You’ll Need
- Small flat herb leaves

Directions
- To create your dyes: Mix 1/2 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and 10 to 20 drops of food coloring in a glass
- Place a leaf of your choice on a hard boiled egg and cover it with a section of nylon stocking to hold it in place.
- Twist the ends together and secure them with a rubber band.
- Carefully dunk the nylon-wrapped egg in the bath and let them sit submerges for about 4 minutes.
