My new Easter egg tradition
Posted on 05. Apr, 2010 by kchristieh in art
Many years ago, some friends and I decided to give a fancy send-off to a friend moving back East and each make a dish from a Martha Stewart cookbook. (This was so long ago that she didn’t even have a website yet!) Unfortunately, about half of the things that people made didn’t turn out as expected.
Therefore, I was proud of myself yesterday that when the Easter egg decorating technique that I learned from the Martha Stewart website worked perfectly. I bought some lace at Jo-Ann’s, tied it tightly around hardboiled eggs and wrapped a ribbon around the strands, and dipped them into a mixture of warm water, vinegar and food coloring. Here’s the end result:
I’ll definitely keep this in my repertoire. I think that next time I’ll let them sit in the coloring longer.
If you’re interested, here’s the video that explains how to make them. I think the key is to wrap the lace really tightly.
I’m looking forward to having lots of egg salad this week.
