How To Use Natural Dyes to Color Your Ostara Eggs [View all]

Ostara is a time of fertility and rebirth, and few things symbolize this as well as the egg. By coloring them with bright pinks, blues and yellows, we're welcoming the colors of spring back into our lives, and saying farewell to winter.

Why not try using natural sources to get a variety of shades, and REALLY celebrate the colors of the season?

You'll really want to have at least a dozen eggs, just because it's a lot of fun to experiment with different colors.
