Rhiannon Hull, editor of ecomama.squarespace.com and greenhelps.org has a great little guide on www.mothering.com for how to naturally dye easter eggs. Vegans can always dye something else, like cotton rag balls, fabric or yarn with this same technique:
Check out the full article on www.mothering.com:
"Here is a list of natural dyes organized by color:
Green: boiled spinach leaves
Blue: boiled frozen blueberries or purple cabbage leaves
Purple: grape juice and skins from red onions
Red: boiled fresh beets or cranberry juice
Yellow: boiled cumin or turmeric powder, boiled orange or lemon peels
Orange: boiled orange juice or paprika
Brown: black tea or coffee
Boil each ingredient separately with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Reduce heat and simmer until the desired color is reached. Strain the liquid into a bowl and 3 teaspoons of white vinegar for each cup of liquid.
Dye your eggs/fabric/yarn just was you would with conventional dyes."
