Hard boil white eggs; let cool.
Make your natural dyes; let cool. See below for further instruction.
Gather some beautiful leaves, flowers, herbs, stems, feathers or any nature finds you think would make nice prints for your eggs. See above in post for examples.
Place one nature find on top of one egg, press with one finger as you gently wrap, cover and tie a cheesecloth around the egg, securing the nature find. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Place your cheesecloth covered eggs or plain eggs into your natural dyes.
Let them sit until the desired intensity of color is achieved ( I find 3-6 hours to be the sweet spot!).
Let the eggs dry on a baking rack, unwrap, and enjoy!
