How to color eggs without a kit

What you will need -
* Cooled hard boiled eggs
* Vinegar (white, apple cider, any kind)
* Food coloring
* cups big enough to fit an egg plus enough water to cover the egg
* Spoon
* Crayons (optional)
* Container for holding the eggs once they're colored
* Newspaper and paper towels

Cover your work area with old newspaper or paper towels to keep the mess to a minimum.

If you chose to color with crayons on the eggs, do so before dipping them in the dye!

Place 1 teaspoon of vinegar in each cup or dipping container. Add about 1 cup of hot water to the vinegar (tap water is fine). Then add a few drops of food coloring to each container. Dip away.

Get creative and try tie dying them by making dots and letting them dry or 1/2 dipping the eggs. When dry, dip them in another color.
