Easter is one of my favorite holidays…. with the promise of spring in the air!

I love giving my nieces and nephews an Easter basket and packing it full of goodies! The night before, they will spend the night with me so that we can color eggs that the Easter Bunny will hide.

I was very skeptical of the method I chose but, I needed to be “ALL IN” or  “ALL OUT”.

I went to the local Salvation Army Resale Store and the Goodwill Resale Shop to find what I needed…. and sure enough, they had a LOT of the old, abandoned silk ties.

They had to be 100% silk. I bought them from $0.25 to $1.50.  Once home, we began the process of making these DIY Silk Tie Easter Eggs…
