I saw this and KNEW that I had to share it with you! The awesome Ladies over at Our Best Bites (one of my favorite food sites) has a great tutorial on how to dye Easter Eggs with 100% silk neckties.
I have done this before with silk scarves, but I have not tried it with ties. What ever you use, HAS to be 100% silk. Also, you use raw (un-cooked) eggs, because they will boil in the water with the fabric.
The best ties that you can use for this are from THE THRIFT STORE! Take a look at Goodwill and see what you can find. The smaller the design and busier, the better they turn out!
Head on over to Our Best Bites for the instructions!
Don’t get stuck with out any eggs this year! Kroger has them at a dozen for only $.88 this week. If you get them now, they will keep until next week. Last year the stores were wiped out the day before Easter.
Also, make sure to use this $.55 off Egg Coupon to get them for even cheaper!
A tip from readers today, the older the egg the better they peel when you are done with them!

Just wanted to pass on a link to another silk-dyed egg post which clearly states that these are *NOT* edible! I hope that if anyone does choose to eat these, that they do not get sick! Best wishes!
