Dyeing Easter eggs is a beloved tradition in many families around the world but generally, we use store-bought Easter egg dye kits found in many department or craft stores. Kendra of Holidash demonstrates how to use pieces of silk that were taken from old scarves and ties to make colored Easter eggs.
She recently shared a video tutorial on how to make these unique Easter eggs using old silk scarves or a silk tie. The process is simple – first, cut the silk fabric into small pieces that are big enough to wrap around an egg. Then, wrap the egg in the silk, making sure that the patterned side of the fabric is facing the egg. Finally, wrap the silk-covered egg in a layer of white fabric, such as an old t-shirt or pillowcase, and tie it tightly with a string.
Once they’re cool enough to handle, unwrap the eggs to reveal the beautiful colors and patterns. Amazingly, the patterns from the pieces of silk get transferred which creates patterned Easter eggs that are unique. And, not only is this method fun and creative, but it’s also eco-friendly. Using old silk scarves and ties is a great way to reuse old fabrics before discarding them.
