Have you seen those gorgeous painted Easter Eggs taking over the internet lately? See how to make your own stunning Easter eggs using old silk ties.
Materials


- 100% silk ties


- Eggs


- Twist ties, string, or rubber bands


- A pot large enough to hold your eggs covered by water


- Water


- White Vinegar
Pick up some 100% silk ties from the thrift store or your hubby's closet. I'm sure he won't miss a few. Deconstruct them with a seam ripper and make sure to keep the inside lining.
Take your eggs and wrap them in silk and then the lining. Tie the fabric to the eggs using twine or twist ties.
Boil them with water and white vinegar and voila! Try a mix of different colored ties and patterns for different variations. They really turn out stunning!
Aren't they gorgeous? See the full step by step instructions at the link below.
