Default Onion skin dyed eggs

I never took a photo series of the process, but I should.
Just the final result:

Take your raw whole eggs, wrap them in the papery dried skins of yellow
onions (those work best), then wrap that firmly in some cotton cloth
scraps or cheesecloth. Bind the fabric around the eggs with rubber
bands or cotton cord.

Hard boil the wrapped eggs as usual.

Let cool and unwrap. Let them dry then coat them lightly with a little
cooking oil. That enhances the colors and gives them a bit of shine. :-)

This is an annual family tradition to make these. Mom always made them
every year...
