Happy (Belated) Easter

My sister and I usually employ our Tricky Tape Technique to dye Easter eggs. This year, though, we used the plants in my sister's yard to make flower prints on our eggs.

This is a crocus print.


The secret technique:
1. Place the flower (or plant) on the egg and secure it with a stocking.
2. Dye the egg.
3. Beg the little children helping you not to smash the eggs. (Madame 5-yr-old does not like to EAT eggs, but she loves to PEEL them. Tuey loves to eat them even if the peel is still intact.)

This is my sister taking a dyed egg out of a stocking.

That is really cool. I will have to remember that trick next time I dye eggs!

Yours turned out better than mine. I also tried the egg in a stocking thing, but apparently did something wrong as mine were not very defined.
