Die Eggs with onion skins Blue Die Eggs

METHOD:
You place a pretty leaf or flower on a blown egg, (Learn how to make blown eggs quickly, carefully, and safely here below) cover it with a piece of thin stocking and secure it with a rubber band so that the leaf is pressed flat against the egg. Then suck some water into the egg so it doesn't float. Boil with onion skins for several minutes and you have a lovely brown egg with a leaf pattern on it. Rubbed the shells with olive oil to make them shiny but you can spray lacquer instead.

How To Blown Eggs

Blown eggs are a bit harder to make than hard boiled eggs and are more fragile, but do have some definite advantages. They last forever, do not need to be refrigerated, and are light enough to use in a variety of ways. The best way to blow eggs is to make two holes in each end with a needle, and then to widen one of the holes with a toothpick. Traditional directions say to just use a needle, but children (and most adults) found it impossible to blow the eggs with holes that small. You can used a cake tester to break the egg yolk in a few places, which made the process easier. Shake the egg very well to break the yolk and, standing over a sink or bowl, blow into the smaller hole with all your might. The egg white and yolk should drain from the bottom. Repeat the process until the egg is empty. Wash the egg well and set aside to dry.
