Fancy Easter Eggs


While we were in TN we got to see Larry's cousin John & his wife Jenifer. They were visiting from PA. Jenifer showed us how to make the most beautiful Easter Eggs. You need men's 100% silk ties (each tie will color about 5 eggs) Cut the tie into square pieces. Wrap a piece around an egg and rubber band it. Then take an old white tshirt & cut it up. Cover the silk on the egg with a piece of tshirt & rubber band. Grab a large pot & fill it with water & 2 cups of vinegar. Boil the eggs for 15 minutes. After you remove the fabric the print from the tie will have transferred to the egg! You can rub oil on the eggs. This makes a beautiful shine...looks like glass.
