Now when you think of tie-dye, I\u2019m sure something different comes to mind. But, tie-dyed Easter eggs are pretty fashionable, fabulous and thrifty! I found this craft on Pinterest and had to give it a try!<\/p>\n

First you will need 100% silk ties or scarves. \"Easter1\" <\/a> I picked up three ties at the Robesonia store a few weeks ago.\"Easter2\" <\/a>You will be cutting the ties into pieces, so don\u2019t use any ones that are precious or special. Cut open the backs and separate the inside felt from the silk fabric. You\u2019ll need both parts.\"Easter3\" <\/a><\/p>\n

Cut the tie into 5-inch squares and tightly wrap it around uncooked eggs (or previously hollowed out eggs) with rubber bands. \"Easter4\" <\/a>Take the felt from the interior of the ties, cut it into strips and bind it around the eggs, again with rubber bands.\"Easter5\" <\/a><\/p>\n

Put the eggs into a cooking pot, cover with water and about a quarter cup of vinegar.Boil for approximately 10 minutes, remove from pot and let cool. Once cool enough to handle, remove the wrappings and see your fabulous eggs!\"Easter6\" <\/a> \"Easter7\" <\/a>You will be able to reuse the silk fabric several times, but most of the tutorials I read on these recommend you don\u2019t eat the eggs due to the dye.<\/p>\n

For a few dollars you\u2019ll have the best-dressed eggs on the block! Experiment with tie and scarf patterns and either brown or white eggs. The results will be different and fun and definitely unique!\"Easter8\" <\/a><\/p>\n
