Silk Tie Easter Eggs

While it seems complicated, really SOOOO easy. We made these with McLean last year and he was only 2! SILK-TIE EASTER EGGSMATERIALS

Small to medium size raw eggs

Glass or enamel pot

Silk scraps(we cut up Daddy's old ties)

Cotton scraps (white or very light)

Twist ties

3 tablespoons of white vinegar

Warm water

Vegetable oil

Paper towels

Tongs or spoon

TECHNIQUE

1. Wrap a raw egg with a piece of silk, making sure the printed side is facing the egg. This doesn’t have to fit perfectly. (And the uglier and darker the tie the better it turns out on the egg!)

2. Now wrap this in a piece of plain cotton and tie securely with a twist tie.

3. Place the egg(s) in an enamel or glass pot and fill with water to cover eggs completely. Add three tablespoons of white vinegar.

4. Bring the water to a boil, turn heat down and simmer for 20 minutes (longer if you want to eat the eggs).

5. Remove the eggs with tongs or spoon and let cool.

6. Unwrap and see what you have! SURPRISE!!
