I took Martha Stewart as an example in this technique. Easter eggs, colored in this way, are gorgeous, and the preparation is fairly easy and quick. Given that there are so many different silk patterns, we have a really free hand with this technique and can dye the eggs in countless ways. It is not recommended to eat Easter eggs dyed with silk, as the dye from the silk passes into the inside of the egg. Therefore, rather than for food, use them for home decoration.
Some useful tips:
Always choose white eggs. They are even better bought than homemade (they absorb more color)
Choose darker colors of silk (pastel and gray will turn out the worst on the egg - you will barely be able to see the pattern)
Small patterns are more noticeable than the larger ones
It is better to choose a thicker than a thinner piece of silk, because the color will be more intense and the patterns will be better reflected on the egg Wrap the raw white egg tightly in a piece of silk so that the more intensely colored side is facing the egg. Dip the still untied egg in cold water so that the fabric adheres well to the eggshell. Tie the fabric tightly with an elastic band. Then wrap the egg in white cotton (in this case do not wrap the egg tightly because it can crack) so that the dye does not spill on the other eggs. Pour cold water into the pot, add two tablespoons of vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook the eggs over a moderate heat for another 25-30 minutes. The longer you cook them, the more intense the color imprint on the shell will be. Remove them from the water and leave them wrapped in silk for another 30 minutes to cool completely. Then unwrap them and coat with cooking oil to make them glow.SILK DYED EASTER EGGS
