SwissArmyWife and Silk Dyed Eggs

I saw this project go around Facebook a few times in the last week.  The results that the people were getting were AWESOME.  Naturally, I needed to try this out for myself.  As soon as TJ came home from work I jumped in the truck and we went to the local thrift store and found the only silk scarves we could find.  (Later on I found out that silk ties can also be used)

The next step is to blow out the eggs if you don’t want hard boiled eggs.  We left ours alone since some of us like egg salad anyway.  Cut the silk into squares and wrap the eggs.  We tied them off with rubber bands.

Place in the pot of water + a couple teaspoons on vinegar and boil for 10 minutes.

Wallah!

We accidentally forgot the vinegar and ended up adding it at the end and boiling for an extra 5 minutes.  Who knows what might of changed, maybe the depth of color?

I love this one.  I can’t wait to do this again, I’m going to keep my eyes out for the best patterns.

Also an easy way to make tie dye eggs.

Know someone who should know about this?
