2. Vegetable dyed Easter Eggs
– One creative way and eco-friendly way to paint your Easter eggs is by using vegetables. That is right, the veggies that produce the strongest colors include: beets, cranberries, blueberries and onions. Remember, if you are growing your own garden, make sure to use Deep Drip Watering Stakes to ensure your veggies grow healthy while conserving up to 50% of your water use.
