Here is a fun and different way to dye Easter Eggs and recycle! First find a few colorful silk ties. Silk scarves will work as wel. They must be silk for this to work. I usually grab mine at the Goodwill bin stores for $ .99 a pound. Since ties weigh very little, this is super inexpensive! Grab a bag of rubber bands from the Dollar Store.
Cut open the ties and take out the lining. Cut a piece of the tie that will wrap completely around a raw egg. Wrap the egg in the tie, then in the lining, and use rubber bands to secure. Place the eggs in a pot with water, boil as usual, and cool. When you remove the ties, the patterns and colors should have transferred to the eggs! I have included a few pictures to show you how this works. Lots of fun and much less messy than using dye! So tie up some of those eggs, and HAPPY EASTER!
