Martha Stewart would be proud!My mom saw this neat way to dye eggs while watching Martha Stewart. Using a piece of silk (we found silk ties at the Goodwill, and cut them up) you wrap it around an uncooked egg, using a twist tie to secure it. Then, take a peice of white cloth (we used squares cut from a pillowcase) and wrap that over the silk, using another twist tie to secure. Add vinegar to boiling water, and boil the eggs for 10-12 minutes...more vinegar is better, it helps the colors bleed. Once the eggs are boiled, gently take the cloth and silk off.
Using really colorful silk is the best thing...we used paisley print, flowered and smiley face ties. They turned out really neat looking and it was waay easier (and less smelly) than using the boxed dye from the grocery store. Let me know if you try it!!
