How to make Easter eggs
1Find a 100% silk tie. It must be 100% silk, it must be! This tie must also be one that you no longer want to wear. - The more fancy the tie, the better. This tie doesn’t have to be pretty, because a pretty tie doesn’t necessarily make for a pretty Easter egg. If you don’t have such a tie on hand, you can buy a tie (even a silk one) at a very low price at a second-hand store.

2Cut the seam. The tie will now double in size and you will have enough material for decoration. Cut off a small piece of tie that you think will easily wrap around the egg. - You need a piece of tie about the size of an egg that can be connected at both ends; soIt is best to leave at least 5cm extra when cutting.

3Wrap the eggs with a tie and wrap another layer of cloth on the outside. When wrapping an egg in a tie, choose the correct side (the side you can see while wearing the tie) that will touch the egg directly. The outer layer is best made of light-colored fabric. For example, pillowcases are a particularly good choice. - Tie a curly knot around the outside of the tie-wrapped egg. Rope works too, but a twisted knot is better. Make sure the tie pattern you want wraps around the egg where you want it. Use the same method to wrap the thin material.

4Boiled eggs. Put the wrapped eggs into the pot, add water to cover the eggs, and then add 1/4 cup (50g) vinegar to the water. Cook constantly, about 20 minutes. Remove the eggs and drain them in a colander or towel. - Be patient! Let the eggs cool before you pick them up. Open the eggs when they're just a little warm and admire your creation.
