Silk Dyed Eggs in CartonYesterday Kelly shared a great post on how to reuse silk ties for egg dyes.  A couple times a week my mom and I watch Martha Stewart together and we were just as eager as Kelly to try this egg dying technique.  Mom went thrifting at Goodwill to find cheap silk ties and blouses that were definitely past their prime.  

We used the large end of the ties to cut out a large swatch to cover an egg, but we saw a lot of waste with the rest of the tie.  To use up the remaining skinny part of the tie we cut strips to wrap around the eggs.  This resulted in alternating colors and patterns around the egg…a truly stunning effect.  Keep reading to find out how we did it.
