"Hi, my name's Debra. We're gonna, I'm going to talk to you a little bit about using natural ingredients around your house or in your garden to create your own Easter egg dyes. If you hadn't thought about it before, there are a lot of things in your house like grape juice that you can use to create a natural dye for your Easter eggs. Grape juice will make a wonderful lavender if you dilute it a little bit or it can make really a very strong purple if you don't add any water to it. Use your grape juice concentrate, heat it up and use that to your eggs. Add a little vinegar. Experiment with different, different strengths. You can get a little bit different colors out of it. Things like beets, if you have beets at home, and you're having beets for dinner, take the remaining juice from the beets and use that for a pink dye for your Easter eggs. It comes out beautiful. You can use spinach leaves or the dried part of onions, you know the outer shell where you take the onion peels off, those make great yellow dyes. You can use almost any kind of a dark fruit for a purple or a blue. Blueberries are good for a blue. You can use red onion skins for a nice red color. You can boil your eggs in with...with water of course, and put a bunch of paprika in there and it'll turn your eggs orange, so that's a really easy way to color your easter eggs naturally. In the next example, I'm going to try using some blackberries that I picked. I've already kind of mashed 'em up, so I have blackberries in here that I'm going to clip the blackberries right into the water, and that's how you dye using natural materials. You want to use the materials while you're boiling your hard-boiled eggs."
