Where can I find colours for dyeing Easter eggs in London?

Answer 1

you just might find them in your pantry...

all you need is some white vinegar, some food colour, and some warm (NOT HOT!) water, and some non-reactive (glass) vessels to dip the eggs in.

boil your eggs as usual

place a few drops of food colour in each vessel, add a tablespoon of white vinegar, then some warm water.

dunk your eggs as desired...longer exposure to the colour mixture will result in brighter finished eggs.

for bi-coloured eggs, dip one end of egg into one colour, dip other end into second colour, if you overlap the two colours, you will wind up with a tri-coloured egg.

Answer 2

As others have indicated, food dye is safe and works the trick. My comment: Some people do dip in a light vinegar solution first to help the shell absorb the colours.

Also try using crepe paper, glitter and coat the dry egg with nail polish. It creates a Fabergé egg effect, very pretty and easy for little kids to do.
