The steps to follow retrieved on UpstateRamblings:

  1. First we cook the eggs.
  2. Then, you can prepare two dye variants according to your tastes – with food coloring or with organic products. If you want to go for organic tincture, this is what you have to do. Mix 1 tbsp. of turmeric + 3 cups of water (to make a yellow tincture) and 2 cups of cabbage + 3 cups of water (for red). Then we boil them for 30 minutes.
  3. Let the dyes cool. Then pour them into two containers, adding 1 tbsp. vinegar (to intensify the color).
  4. To do the decoration. Place a leaf on the egg. (For best results, work with wet leaves and eggs).
  5. Cut a piece of the stockings, wrap the egg in it with the leaf and close with a rubber band.
  6. Put the egg in the jar and leave for a few minutes. If you use the organic tincture, you must leave the eggs for a longer period (8-24 hours).
