On Easter, housewives traditionally paint eggs. How exactly and with what they will paint the eggs, each housewife chooses for herself. Now you can buy various chemical dyes and thermal films that help you quickly and easily color eggs.
But increasingly, housewives are looking for ways that are environmentally friendly. To do this, they use natural materials. And the most common way is to paint eggs in onion skins. The fact that you will not spend a penny from the family budget in order to purchase coloring materials is also very pleasant. The material is onion peel, which is in every home, because we use onions to cook our dishes almost every day.
Consider this point: after painting in onion skins, the eggs will be dull. To give them a beautiful shine, wipe them with a small amount of vegetable oil. Also remember that the eggs must be taken out of the refrigerator before painting so that they are at room temperature before dipping into the hot broth. Otherwise, the eggs may crack.

Step 1
To work, we need a saucepan, water, salt, onion peel (the more peel, the more intense the color), sunflower oil. For 1 liter of water you need at least 20 grams of husk.
Step 2
Dip the onion peel into a pot of water. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Eggs at room temperature wash and dip in a pan with onion peel. Boil for 7 to 15 minutes depending on how deep the color you want to get.
Step 4
Take the eggs out and put them in a pot of cold water. After cooling, rub the eggs with a little vegetable oil.
Step 1
For work, we need a saucepan, a small piece of stocking, parsley, water, salt, sunflower oil, onion peel, a spoon.
Step 2
Onion peel (the more it is, the more intense the color of the eggs) is placed in a saucepan with water. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
Step 3
In the meantime, wash the eggs well. Glue parsley leaves (or another plant with a smooth surface - lilac leaves work well) onto wet eggs.
Step 4
Secure the parsley with a small piece from a stocking (you can use rare gauze or tulle).
Step 5
Dip the prepared eggs into the prepared broth. Boil for 7 to 15 minutes. The longer the egg is boiled, the richer its color will be.
Step 6
After cooking, remove the stocking, wash off the remnants of parsley. Cool in cold water. To shine, brush the egg with a little vegetable oil.
