I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday weekend!
Now to the really neat stuff...
Codeman and I did Silk Tie Dyed Eggs today! Oh this was just way to cool. I picked up my silk ties at my favorite thrift store for less than $.20 each. The hardest part was taking the ties apart! Get you eggs and lets get started...
I took tie in hand and placed a raw egg on top of it...
wrapped the tie around it tight and then cut the excess off. Kept it wrapped with a rubber band.
Then another, then another until they were all wrapped. Then I tried two different ways for the second wrap, cloth and pantyhose. I felt the pantyhose was easier to do then tying the cloth. Anyways you can wrap the eggs in a white cloth (thrifted pillowcase) or nylons, tie off.
Place in water with 1/4 cup of vinegar and boil for 20 minutes. Let cool then unwrap!
TADAAAA! Aren't they total awesome!!
Codeman's reaction...LOL!
This was so much fun!
Look at the texture and colors!
Next time I'll boil the light colored ones separate from the dark.
Wished I done this sooner...
The red ones were paisley ties...Luv it!
Check it out...
No mess...no fuss...
This was the only mess besides the pot we used. Awesome!!
