There are many ways to dye an egg. Some people use Kool-Aid, food coloring, store bought kits, nail polish, and all sorts of other things. One lesser known method is an old fashioned way that uses dye from silk scarves to decorate hard boiled eggs. The scarves intricate patterns and colors transfer to the eggs, which turn out absolutely beautiful and truly unique, thanks to their level of detail.

All you need is eggs (uncooked), 100% silk scarves or ties, a ½ yard of white fabric, twist ties, white vinegar, and vegetable oil. You will also need scissors to cut the fabric and a pot of water to boil the eggs in, but that’s it! The whole process is neat and easily doable in under an hour.

However, do not use any of your favorite or treasured silk items because they will be altered by this; not completely ruined, but faded. Also, be sure to use only 100% silk to get the right results. Second hand or thrift stores are a great place to find them at the lowest cost.

To start, cut the silk and white fabric into 7 inch by 7 inch squares. Take an egg and wrap it very tightly in a silk square, then wrap that in a white fabric square, and secure with a twist tie. Once all the eggs are wrapped up place them in a pot and fill with water. Add 3 tablespoons of white vinegar to the water and boil for fifteen minutes.

Remove the eggs from the stove and allow them to cool off. Unwrap them from the fabrics and your done! If desired, rub the vegetable oil onto the finished eggs to give them a glossy sheen. The video says that the silks can be used 2-3 times in this fashion to dye eggs. The eggs are also edible, you start with raw ones and they becomes hard boiled by the end of the process.

The whole project is a great way to try something new, cheap, and easy with family and friends. Check it out!

This 17 Year Old Built His Own Mortgage-Free House. But When You Step Inside Whoa!

One boy’s school project turned into a new lease on life, or actually mortgage-free life, when he ended up building a tiny house for himself. Austin Hay began building his tiny home when he was a fifteen year old freshman in high school and finished it at age seventeen. It all began when he was assigned to do a research project on anything he was passionate about.

His interest in the tiny house movement was already budding and after looking more into it he decided this would be perfect for his assignment. To start, he bought a used trailer for around two thousand dollars and the rest was built up from there. Money he had saved from summer jobs and basic knowledge gained from one woodworking class he had taken were all applied to the project.

After he had framed and put a roof on it he began work on the interior and design elements that would make it compact, comfortable and perfect for what he needs. Many of the items he used in building the house were found at junk yards and are second hand parts, such as the doors, windows and flooring.

He put in a lofted bed and even fit a complete bathroom with a hot water shower and composting toilette. By the time he finished his tiny house, Austin had spent around twelve thousand dollars and gained a lot of knowledge about construction, materials and building in general. He even had an open house for people to come by and check out the finished project.

In the future he plans on living in it through college and beyond, taking it with him wherever he ends up. The video gives a guided tour of the tiny house and shows it in various stages of completion. It includes reactions and interviews with his friends and family as well.

Austin’s sense of pride and joy at accomplishing the home is well earned, and shared by his grandfather, whose interview in the clip is especially touching. Check it out!

Dog Sensed Something Was Different In Her Home. When She Sees The Surprise The Reaction Is PRICELESS

When you have a new baby, it is very important to slowly acclimate your dog to this new situation.  Some dogs can’t tolerate change and a new baby can be really stressful to them.  You must slowly prepare them during the pregnancy.  A good idea would be to play baby noise tapes, and rub baby lotion on your hands so that your cat can get used to the new sounds and smells.

You should set up the nursery furniture a few weeks before the baby arrives so your pup has plenty of time to investigate and get used to the new room. Purdue University did a study where they found 40 percent of children begin their life with a pet in the family.  Of that population 90 percent will live with these pets through their childhood.

Taking care of another living being is a wonderful way to teach your children skills that they will use throughout their lives. This is an amazingly precious moment when Piper the Husky meets his new sister Lily Ann.  According to his human Piper has done a great job being a big brother, and has been very gentle, loving and caring towards Lily Ann.  Watch their adorable first meeting below.

An octopus’ main defense in the wild is camouflage and mimicry.  This is how they survive and have been around for millions of years. They are also incredible at quick escapes. Other defenses include distraction with the use of ink sacs and autotomising limbs. They are some of the most interesting species on all of planet earth.

Some can change colors, while others can shape shift and look like other predators so that they don’t get eaten. Their disguise and escape skills have given them quite the advantage over other species in the ocean.

In the video below you will see first hand just how good an octopus is at camouflage.  They are true masters in the art of disguise.  What looks to be a piece of algae quickly transforms in front of your eyes.  I had to watch it multiple times just to make sure it was real! This is so awesome. Enjoy! 🙂
