Easter is a religious holiday for many people, but the weekend can also be fun, especially for parents of young children.  Dying eggs is a favorite pastime.  If you and your family like to dye your eggs, here’s a super crafting idea:

Tie Dyed Easter Eggs – Using Silk Neckties!

The PartyBluPrints Blog and Dollar Store Crafts page offer step-by-step instructions and beautiful photographs of eggs dyed using silk neckwear.

I read that the colors transfer most vibrantly when the eggs are boiled, but if you prefer pastel colors, microwaving is a better option.

I answer questions such as to how I got started in the business of selling hand made necktie pillows and  vintage ties, how long I’ve been in the vintage accessory business, the rarest tie I own, and the the earliest to date tie in my personal collection.

I have shared my Salvador Dali designed necktie with you, which is among the rarer ones I currently own as well as my dad’s skinny flame tie, which is a sentimental favorite. Look for more in the coming weeks!
