Our friends Damon & Veronica invited us over to do some Easter egg-dying yesterday. Brian was busy with school work, and I needed a break from mine, so I joined them. So glad I did!
This was unlike any egg-dying I ever remember doing. They had gotten eight old silk neckties from Goodwill, and deconstructed them. Then, we wrapped the raw eggs in the ties, then wrapped them again in another white fabric (we used an old pillowcase), and used twist-ties to hold them wrapped up. (So they looked like little egg ornaments almost.) Then, we boiled them in 1/4 cup vinegar and enough water to cover them for 20 minutes and then let them cool.
And....voila. The coolest Easter eggs ever! (the vinegar makes the print from the silk tie stick to the eggshell)
