This was our attempt at making tie-dyed Easter Eggs. Our experience with this: super labor intensive, the kids lost interest fairly quickly and really didn't get to help much, and the results were marginal. Cutting up all the ties took forever! And then we thought, "Hey, why not wrap them in waxed dental floss to be sure the fabric is right against the eggs?" I'll tell you why not. It doesn't really work. And wax gets sticky. It turned out like things usually turn out for us: plan and prep and do it thoroughly? Fail. Wing it and see what happens? Success. But we gave it the good ol' college try. Maybe next year...
What our eggs were supposed to look like:
What our eggs actually looked like:

| You can see where the dental floss left impressions. |

| This one actually turned out really cool. It was a golfing tie. |
 |
| This one wasn't so hot. The dental floss didn't do it any favors. |
