Have you tried to make a small hole on the top of the egg another one on the bottom with a tapestry needle, then you blow through one hole and the egg comes out the other this way you are left with a whole shell, which can last forever.

The best way to ‘blow’ out an egg doesn’t use blowing at all. Make a small hole in only ONE end of an egg, squirt some WD40 into the egg, shake it up, and pour it out.

My aunt has done the silk dyed eggs for the last few years. She now looks for silk dresses at Goodwill – more fabric and sometimes prettier patterns.

I wonder if it might not be cool to blow out some eggs THEN tie dye them in this way.
THAT way you could keep them forever..or until one of the children sits on it – you KNOW it will happen!

how fun!

These turned out wonderful for me.

I did mine slightly different…i took longer but the results were wonderful.

First i tapped holes in the eggs and blew out the yolk & whites, next I followed the same steps and when it came time to boil them..alas, my eggs were floating!

So I have a fairly deep pot (and I used a METAL pot by the way, and it turned out fine) and I placed the eggs inside, then I used a glass pyrex medium mixing blow and filled it with water. It helped keep the eggs submerged and I had enough room to put the lid over the pot.

When I was done the eggs were beautiful except for a the large white parts that were left bare. So I got creative..

I dyed the eggs with matching colors of the ties, I didnt submerge the eggs in the dye for very long, just a couple of dips in the bath and rinsed clean. The color was enough to add some flare but didnt over power the cute tie design..

I wish I had a time machine… i just stumbled across your site, approximately six hours too late. On the bright side, I will totally do this for next year. Your eggs turned out gorgeous- and I can’t believe how easy it looks.

Also: I fell in love with your blog instantly. Now I’m off to go catch up on what I’ve been missing over here!
