Here are five different pattern ideas, that you  can easily make at home.  It’s a nice and fun DIY project to try with  your family before Easter.

Ingredients

- dry skins from about 8-10 onions - 10 washed eggs

How to make them?

The basic recipe for the onion skin dye is to boil the onion skins in water, then drain and cook eggs in the red water.

If you want to add some nice patterns to your eggs, you’ll need a pair of nylon stockings or 2 pairs of nylon socks and a string.

Lace bands or ribbons

Twine or wool yarn

Wrap a twine or wool yarn strip 3-4 times around the egg. Knot the ends of the strip and cut the excess. Twist the stocking at a base and tightly tie a string around the base.

Physalis peels or more onion skins for marble effect

Add the salt and boil the wrapped eggs in onion skin dye for 15-20 minutes.

After eggs are  cooked, drain the dye and place eggs in cold water. Wait until they are cool and cut away the stocking. 

To make them shiny, coat an egg with olive  oil and wipe away the excess with a paper towel.
