Onion Skin Dyed Easter Eggs

1. 1

   Place an egg into the palm of your hand and wrap it in onion skins. For darker color, use a couple of layers of onion skins.

2. 2

   Place the onion skins covered egg onto the cheesecloth square. Wrap tightly and secure at the ends with the twine, just like a bonbon. Continue until all of your eggs are wrapped.

3. 3

   Fill a pot with cold water and add the wrapped eggs. Add a tablespoon of vinegar and a teaspoon of salt per quart of water. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and boil for about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the pot from the heat, discard the water and let the eggs cool while still wrapped. When eggs are completely cool, unwrap and let the eggs dry.

5. 5

   If you like your eggs glossy (I like mine matte), dip a piece of cloth into vegetable oil and rub the egg with it.
