Dyeing with natural dyes is not much different that dyeing with chemical dyes--you put the egg into the dye solution, and then leave it in until the egg has changed color sufficiently.
Chemical dyes tend to work much more quickly, and are thus preferred by most egg artists. Natural dyes often take hours to work, which chemical dyes will set up in a minute or two.

What is the science of pysanky or Ukrainian egg dying?
The shell of an egg is a protein-calcium carbonate matrix, with the outermost layer (cuticle) being mostly protein. Egg dyes, which are acid based, bind to the protein portions of the eggshell. Eggs can be dyed both with natural vegetable and animal based dyes, or with modern aniline dyes. These dyes are all acid dyes, meaning that the dye releases hydrogen anions in water. Beeswax is used to "write" designs on eggs. The area covered with wax is protected from the dye and will not change color. By using a series of waxings and dye baths, intricate designs can be created. Click on the links below for more detailed information.

Why does vinegar make egg dye stronger?
The dye binds to the protein in an egg shell; this is an animal protein, similar to silk or wool. The same types of dyes that work on silk or wool will also dye eggs. The dye molecules bind, both directly and via hydrogen bonds, to protein molecules in the eggshell. The dyes used to dye eggs are acid dyes, called that because they work best in an acid environment. Vinegar is an acid, and adding it to the dye solution makes it more acid, and potentiates both types of binding.
