Dyeing eggs is a long-time Easter tradition, but this is an old-fashioned twist that is sure to impress all of your friends! If you do it correctly, you'll have some of the most beautiful eggs imaginable!

Here's what you'll need:

A piece of silk fabric.
A piece of white fabric.
Twist ties.
White vinegar.

It's very simple: just wrap the egg in the silk, then wrap it again in the white fabric. Wrap the egg/fabric up tight with twist ties, then add it to boiling water and vinegar! After a few minutes, take the eggs out and let them cool, then you're done! 

 It's important that it's 100% silk! Old ties or handkerchiefs work really well. Just make sure to use silk that you don't mind getting ruined - do some thrift store searching! You'll be absolutely blown away by the results!
