Translation, please!

A few days ago, I repinned this lovely little Easter egg project.

I thought, "lovely", promptly made an "Easter" board and pinned it without clicking on the link. Rookie mistake.

We are going to a huge egg hunt tomorrow. We are supposed to bring eggs.

So like the procrastinator I am, I click on the link tonight at approximately 1:22 am, only to realize the text is in a language I do not understand. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what language it is.



带优雅植物叶子水印的染色水煮蛋》我们常常要给鸡蛋染色,比如制作复活节彩蛋和庆祝BB诞生的红鸡蛋等。也有妈妈为了让宝宝更乐意吃鸡蛋,也会用植物染料给鸡蛋染色。








And while the step-by-step pictures are gorgeous, I'm not so super-crafty to be able to intuit the process.

Suggestions? I really want to make these eggs!

  1. So this may be too little, too late, but I have no freaking idea what she's supposed to be doing with the needle head! I think the eggs themselves are wrapped in cheap pantyhose and I bet you could boil them in coffee for the same color effect. Eh? Maybe?

    1. So that is exactly what I was thinking of trying. Not too late -- we took plastic eggs (gasp!) to the party but will be trying the pantyhose method. I have a friend who owns a gourmet tea shop, and she has methods for using teas and you can get different colors even. We'll see how they turn out ...
