Lace Eggs

From:

Martha Stewart Show

This Easter, take hard-boiled eggs to new heights by embellishing them with lacy patterns. Once the eggs are dyed and dry, pile them in a large bowl to use them as a centerpiece.

Tools and Materials
Eggs
Standard egg dye
Rubber bands
Inexpensive lace trimmings or scraps from a worn tablecloth or curtains
Scissors
Foam board fitted with flathead pins

Lace Egg How-To
1. Cut lace into strips long enough to wrap around eggs and still have extra to form a sash for holding.

2. Wrap eggs, securing lace with rubber bands. Dye eggs according to dye package instructions. Lift out, cut off rubber bands, and unwrap lace. Let dry on foam board fitted with flathead pins.

Resources
Inexpensive lace trimmings can be found in fabric stores.

I saw this on Martha's television show and was very excited to try it out this morning. I did not view the comments on this webpage as I well should have. The night before, I took a very nice pair of expensive lace panties and cut it into strips to cover the eggs with. It was a complete disaster. There was no pattern at all, and we ruined a perfectly good dozen eggs. We did get a lot of laughs out of it - mostly because I was stupid enough to cut up a pair of underwear for coloring eggs.
