The tradition of dying eggs for Easter is said to date back thousands of years. Whether its symbolism is religious, seasonal, or just celebratory, this colorful custom is certainly a treasured one.
In modern times, the tradition can be a bit messy. Those little dye tablets, the acrid smell, those weirdly shaped egg wands — it's a delicate, frustrating process that usually results in nothing but colorful puddles of water and less-than-stellar-looking eggs.
However, the trick you're about to see will forever change the way you dye eggs. When you see how easy it is to make beautiful Easter eggs, you'll make a face similar to this excited little baby's!
As the video explains, all you'll need are some old silk scarves, some scraps of cloth, vinegar, and — of course — eggs. (If you don't want to cut up scarves, you can also use old silk blouses, or even a man's tie.)
When your beautiful eggs are done, gently arrange them in a pretty basket, place it on your trimmed table, and enjoy Easter dinner with a lovely centerpiece that's sure to draw plenty of compliments.
