Ingredients

  • Egg
  • Silk tie or other 100% silk fabric
  • White cotton cloth large enough to wrap egg
  • 2 Rubber bands
  • Vinegar

Instructions

  • Start with a silk tie (check the label to be sure it's 100% silk)
  • Cut the seams of the tie and pull out the liner.
  • Wrap fabric around the egg, with the printed side touching the egg and the lighter side facing out.
  • Secure with a rubber band. You'll have a few "wrinkly spots) where the rubber band is so if you secure it at the bottom, the top side of the egg will look best. If you secure the rubber band at the back, the front side will look best.
