The GREAT Easter Egg Dye Experiment

Alright, here it is, the Easter Egg dye experiment!!  I wanted to show y'all the results of my homemade Easter Egg dyes. The eggs we dyed were brown eggs, probably not the best choice, the white ones would have picked up the color way better.  Of course, white organic eggs are non-existent here in Lafayette.  (Wah-wah-waaaaaaah)

Tah dah!!! So I know the colors are super vibrant but again these are brown eggs.  I feel white organic would make the color more vivid.
