Tips To Make Easter More Eco Friendly
Here are a few tips to make Easter more eco friendly!
1. Egg Dyeing – Why not use natural ways to die your fresh eggs? Boil eggs in
water with the following ingredients to make the different colours! - Red Cabbage Leaves will make blue
- Purple Grape Juice will make light purple
- Spinach will make green
- Beetroot will make pink
- Red Onions will make red
- Carrot Peels will make yellow
2. Buy your Easter baskets second hand. Almost every second hand or charity shop has a collection of cane baskets and normally for only a few dollars. So why not recycle them and decorate them to create fun Easter baskets.
3. Make your own Easter “grass”. Make your own Easter grass to use in baskets or on plates as nests by shredding magazine pages. For a lovely fragrance shred the perfumed magazine pages. Much better for the environment than buying bags from the craft store!
4. Make your own chocolate eggs. Making your own eggs is not only fun but it also means you know exactly what goes into them. Use organic chocolate and add some organic fudge to the centre. Using organic means the chocolate ingredients were grown and produced organically with no use of chemicals or pesticides. So they are kinder to the environment!
5. Rather than giving friends the usual Easter eggs for gifts why not some unique more eco friendly alternatives?
- Bake a batch of homemade organic chocolate chip cookies.
- Use a jar and fill the jar with all the dry ingredients needed to make chocolate chip cookies. Add a tag with the recipe and cover the lid with a swatch of material and tie with a ribbon!
- Give your friends gift boxes filled with your favourite eco products and introduce them to a cleaner way of living!
- Decorate and cover old coffee tins or jars and fill them with organic lollies or chocolates. Soak jars in warm water and vinegar for 24 hours to take the coffee smell out.
Just a few small changes to your Easter can not only save you money, but maybe even save the earth?
