Polka Dots Easter Eggs

As Easter is approaching, I would like to share with you on how to prepare Polka Dots Easter Eggs.  For these eggs, I did not use any chemical dye.  Instead, I prepared a natural dye made from onion skins.  If you want to try this out for Easter this year, you better start saving your onion skins from now on.

Ingredients:
eggs, to be hard-boiled (brown or white or mixed)
onion skins
water
1 tbsp white vinegar
polka dots stickers
a little cooking oil

Method:
In a big pot, add onion skins and enough water to cover the onion skins.  Add white vinegar and stir well.  Cook mixture over medium heat for about half an hour.  Once the required tone of colour is attained, remove from heat and pour through a sieve into another pot.  Return pot to stove over low heat.

Stick polka dots stickers onto the shells of the hard-boiled eggs as shown in the photo below.

Add eggs to onion dye mixture and leave them for about 10 minutes or until the required tone of colour is attained.  Once done, remove eggs carefully by using a tablespoon.  Let them cool down slightly before removing the stickers from the eggs.  Lastly, dab a kitchen paper with a little cooking oil and rub eggs to give them a shining finish.

Happy Easter!
