Silk Tie Easter Eggs- Silk Dyed Eggs
One of my favorite childhood memories of Easter is dying eggs and skipping through the grass in an Easter dress hunting for eggs. Those were the days, but now I’m enjoying doing the same kinds of things with my kids. Of course, this isn’t your traditional Paas Easter Dye we are using. You will find this to be just as much fun, less messy, and gorgeous. Silk Dye Easter Eggs are the best!
How to Tie Dye Easter Eggs

What you will need to silk dye eggs is in this picture below. However, I have it displayed in list form towards the bottom of the page.
First, collect a few silk ties. Cut the neckties apart at the back seam so you can flatten out the fabric, and remove the inside material.
Cut a piece big enough to fit around the egg. You can get 2 pieces per tie.
Wrap each egg tightly in a piece of the tie and secure it with a rubber band.
Using a piece of the white fabric, wrap the egg again and secure it with a rubber band.
Once you have all your eggs wrapped in both fabrics, place them in a pot of water with ½ cup vinegar, and boil for 20-25 minutes.
Remove your eggs from the pot and unwrap your eggs from the ties. Enjoy how pretty they are.
Enjoy your beautiful eggs!
