I got this idea from Pinterest. There are no directions so I just kind of guessed what was going on in the pictures. I don't know what that mesh stuff is, but I went to the craft store and they sell rolls of tulle for $4 - I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
I picked some small clovers and flower petals from the garden and placed them on the eggs and then wrapped them in the tulle. I tied the tulle in a knot, becuase I was lazy and didn't feel like sewing the end together, which made it kind of loose around the egg. This resulted in my plant stamps not leaving a super clear print on the eggs, because some of the dye was able to get underneath them.
Then I dyed them using brown onion peels. I have used these before for dying and I love the natural, warm brown color it makes.
And here is the final product! Again, my designs don't have hard lines and aren't completely white, but for something you are going to crack and throw away, I think it is reasonable to take a couple of shortcuts.
