Silk Tie Easter Eggs

12 small-medium size Eggs
12 Silk Ties, cut off front tip about 6 inches up from bottom
1 White Pillow Case cut up for 12, 7-8 inch squares
12 Twist Ties
Glass or Enamel Pot
at least 1/4 cup Vinegar
some oil

Place egg in the middle of the tie, bottom of egg down.

Wrap tie around egg with all the fabric at the top of the egg.

Cover tie wrapped egg with white fabric the same way. Make sure that both fabrics are wrapped around the egg tightly. Twisting works well.

Use a twist tie around the top of the egg with all the fabric to close it up.

Place eggs in a glass or enamel pot filled with water, not too full or the water will over flow when you add the eggs.

Pour vinegar over eggs. Bring to a boil.

Once it gets to a boil, turn heat down and simmer for at least 20 minutes.

Take eggs out and let cool.

Unwrap eggs and put some oil on your hands and rub over eggs to make them shinny.  Be careful not to drop your eggs they get slippery.
