Dye Eggs With Onion Skins

Onion skins can be used to dye eggs to create both interesting patterns and colors.

Steps

Assemble the supplies needed. These are listed under "Things You'll Need" below.
Lay the cloth out on the work surface.
Place around six layers of onion skins on top of the cloth.
Arrange the leaves or rice grains on top of the onion skins. These will form interesting patterns on the eggshell.
Place one egg on the top of these layers. Wrap the cloth around the egg and onion skins firmly.
Wrap rubber bands around the cloth to keep it firmly in place. This also serves to press the onion skins against the egg surface.
Repeat with as many eggs as you're making.
Place each wrapped egg into a saucepan of boiling water. Boil for around 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Don't overcrowd with too many eggs––it is better to boil in separate containers if you have a lot of eggs.
Remove each boiled egg from the water with the slotted spoon. Allow to cool, then unwrap the egg and reveal its design.
Allow to dry. Once dry, the egg can be rubbed over with a small amount of cooking oil. This will make it shinier.
Place on display.

Brown onion skins will give you a range of brown, yellow and golden hues.
Rice and small leaves are just suggestions. You can not use them, or you can substitute other items that can withstand the boiling process and will leave a pattern.
Purple onion skins will give you a range of purple, magenta and pinkish hues.

These eggs are for decorative effect rather than for eating. An egg that has been boiled for 30 minutes isn't palatable.
