DIY: Silk Dyed Eggs

My new wonderful assistant came across this DIY where you can dye eggs very easily with silk, water and vinegar and we both thought it was such a neat idea! The best part is unwrapping the fabric to see how they all came out. Its pretty fun and quite simple.

You will need:

• 100% silk fabric
• Lightcolored Cotton fabric
• String
• White eggs
• Vinegar
• Pot for boiling

Step 1: Cut 9"x9" silk fabric to cover egg and use string or twist ties to hold it in place. Make sure they are tightly tied on but be gentle enough to not break the egg. (I broke two!) Spritz water on egg to help the fabric stick to it. Make sure you use the more pigmented side of the silk.

Step 2: Wrap eggs with cotton fabric 9"x9" and use string to tie it on.

Step 3: Add water in pot and place eggs in gently. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar. Bring to a boil and then put timer on for 20 minutes.

Step 4: Place eggs gently in a colander and let cool.

Step 5: Unwrap fabric from eggs and discover how beautiful they came out!
