If I'm going to make the effort I would want to blow the eggs first (ie make them hollow) so I can keep them year after year. But then I might have trouble submersing them to dye them (they'll want to float). I think it would work to blow them, wrap them in the silk and then attach a weight to the twist tie that you use at the top, to keep them under water. woo hoo!

The Martha Stewart directions recommend a glass or enamel pot and say not to use an aluminum pan. I used a stainless steel pan without any trouble. Darla,

It should be 100% Silk. The Martha Stewart directions recommend a glass or enamel pot and say not to use an aluminum pan. I used a stainless steel pan without any trouble.

The six that are not shown did not turn out very well, because the silk we used was white with a single color floral design. Without a lot of color and definition in the silk pattern the eggs were very blah with only a little mottled color. We had the best luck with bright colors and color saturated patterns. Good luck.
