Silk tie Easter eggs were first introduced to me years ago when I saw them on an old (before prison) episode of Martha Stewart.\u00a0 It was such a cute idea that I actually made them.\u00a0 The basic concept is that you buy old ties from a thrift store, or steal<\/del> borrow some from your husband’s closet.\u00a0 You cut them up and separate the layers.\u00a0 Then wrap an uncooked egg with a piece of the silk, and tie it on both ends.\u00a0 Boil them till the eggs are done.\u00a0 Let them cool, remove the silk fabric, and voila!\u00a0 You have silk dyed eggs.\u00a0 That was the process in a nutshell.\u00a0 Now you can follow along as I show you how to make them. And by the way, if you need to spruce up your front porch, this post <\/a>shows you how to make an inexpensive Easter door mat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Silk<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use Old Ties<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Silk<\/p>\n

Once you have selected some colorful neckties, separate the layers so that there is just one layer of silk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Silk<\/p>\n

Then wrap the silk around a raw egg.\u00a0 Place the right side of the fabric against the egg, and tie both ends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Silk<\/p>\n

You can use dental floss or string to tie them up.<\/p>\n

Boil 12 Minutes<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Silk<\/p>\n

Put the eggs in cool water and bring them to a boil.\u00a0 Boil the eggs till they are done, which is about 12 minutes.\u00a0 If I had it to do again, I would have boiled the eggs wrapped in yellow silk separately from the eggs wrapped in the dark colors.\u00a0 Remove the eggs from the water, and let them cool.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Silk<\/p>\n

When the silk tie Easter eggs have cooled, gently remove the silk fabric.\u00a0 It’s kind of like a box of chocolates.\u00a0 You never know what you’ll get. The brightly colored ties produce more vivid colors than the pastel ties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These Silk Tie Easter Eggs Are Kid Friendly<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Silk<\/p>\n

And there you have the silk tie Easter eggs.\u00a0 This is a fun and easy egg dying method that the kids can help you with.\u00a0 Just be sure to supervise them around the boiling water.\u00a0 They can cut up the ties and separate the silk from the bonding.\u00a0 They can wrap and tie the fabric around the eggs.\u00a0 When the eggs have cooled, they can remove the fabric and have a big surprise.\u00a0 This is a great way to use those ugly ties that are in your husband’s closet if you don’t want to buy used ones at the thrift store.\u00a0 Have fun with this one, friends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
