This is so cool. I love this idea. DH said, "I know we won't have the grandkids this Easter, but lets make some boiled eggs anyway." So, I remembered I had put this recipe in my "To Try" cookbook last year and I had also put some big onion skins away sometime back. This was easy and a really way to make eggs, will have to do this again next year.

These are so pretty and easy to do. Showed my friends at Bible Study how to do this and they were impressed also. Thank you for sharing this - too much fun!!

We used to do these with our kids when they were little. It was always a fun way to do the eggs. We used rubber bands and old rags, but essentially, the same method, but with a twist. We put rice, or leaves or other organic stuff between the onion skin and the eggs. It made some great patterns on the eggs. The foil sounds much easier. Thanks for sharing!

Loved it! I needed 3 hardboiled eggs for a salad and needed onions for another recipe so this was perfect timing. I tied the first 2 eggs in onion skins and string, but one wasn't tied carefully enough so slipped out then the water boiled and was evenly brown in colour, the third egg I wrapped in onion skins and aluminum foil and while the patterns were there, it wasn't nearly as intense or dramatic in the shades of colour as the egg where the string stayed on.I only had yellow onions and found them to work just fine. Easy recipe and fun to do with the kids when they are a little older as they are a little young and heavy handed to attempt to wrap raw eggs just yet. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for an easy and decrative egg recipe that will be on our menu next Easter. Thanks!
