15+ Fantastic Ideas for Dyeing and Decorating Easter Eggs

These Easter eggs will look like they took hours, but are actually a piece of cake! The first step is to hit your local thrift store and find some old ties — remember that only 100 percent silk will work, so steer clear of polyester or other blends. Cut up your thrifted finds and wrap them around your eggs, securing tightly. A final layer of light weight fabric goes around the silk (grab a pillow case or sheet while you are at the thrift store), and they are ready for the boiling water. The hot water transfers the pattern from the silk to the egg.
