Onion Skin Dyed Easter Eggs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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