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.
