white vinegar
Directions
Step 1: Hard boil 1-2 dozen eggs and chill.
Step 2: Mix up egg dyes (instructions on package).
Step 3. Cut nylon into small bands, approximately 5 inches long. You’ll need as many as you have eggs.
Step 4: Make sure eggs are dry. Then place fresh leaf onto the egg and press lightly, so that the dye does not get underneath the leaves.
Step 5: Wrap gently but snugly in the nylon and tie closed with a knot or rubber band on both ends. The tighter you can get the better, but be careful not to crack the egg.
Step 6: Dip in color.
Step 7: Dab off excess water with a paper towel and leave to dry for several hours, or overnight.
Step 8. When dry, cut nylon open and gently peel off leaves.
