- Place the eggs and onion skins in a saucepan with cold water to cover, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs; drain. Dip a cotton bud into vinegar, and draw designs on the egg with the cotton bud. The vinegar will remove the onion-skin dye, leaving the natural colour of the egg.
- Arrange the eggs in the centre of the Easter table, or place one in an egg cup at each place. Serve with a bit of mayonnaise.
