Boiling the husk
Fill the pan with water and add onion peel and vinegar. Then bring the mixture to a boil.
Infusion of the husk
After boiling, remove the pan from the stove and leave the husks to soak in water for several hours or even overnight to obtain a rich color.
Cleaning eggs
The eggs are thoroughly cleaned of dirt and grease to ensure better penetration of the paint.
Tying eggs with husks
Each egg is tied with a piece of onion skin using string or cheesecloth to create unique patterns and textures.
Boiling eggs
The tied eggs are placed in a pan with the prepared peels and boiled for about 15-20 minutes until they reach the desired color.
Cooling and removal of the binding
The cooled eggs are carefully removed from the pan, after which the tying is removed.
