Hi Reader,

At the beginning of this month, when I shared the March Bucket List, I mentioned I’d be sharing this little DIY with you—and here it is.

Over the past weeks, I’ve been playing with something simple but surprisingly beautiful: using tea to dye Easter eggs.

It actually started from another experiment. I had been making a natural tea stain for wood, and when I saw how rich and earthy the tones turned out, I couldn’t resist trying the same idea on eggshells. And I’m so glad I did.

When coloring Easter eggs with tea, the colors result as soft, muted, and each one is a little different. What I love most is that the colors come entirely from true teas and herbal teas you might already have at home.

Some turn warm and honey-like, others more ashy or softly green… and a few results truly surprised me.

If you want to try it this weekend, here’s the simple version:

• Brew a strong cup of tea
• Add a splash of vinegar
• Let your eggs rest in the tea
• Wait, and watch the color slowly deepen

That’s it. No synthetic dyes, just time and a little curiosity.

If you do end up making them, I’d love to hear which shades you get.

I’ve written a full step-by-step guide for you on the blog, including which teas create which shades.

Every day makes a difference ♡
