How to Make Natural Dyes?

To use these natural dyes, you can simmer the dye materials in water with a bit of vinegar for about 20-30 minutes. Then, strain the liquid and let it cool before submerging hard-boiled eggs in them. The longer you leave the eggs in the dye, the deeper the colour will be.
