Tie one end of a nylon stocking closed and pull the stocking over the egg. Loosely tie the two ends of the tube together. Soak the egg for 5 minutes, and allow 5 minutes to dry.

Glitter:

Dye your eggs as usual. Choose a design you want and apply glue. Place a sheet of paper under the egg to catch the excess glitter, and sprinkle glitter all over the glue. Allow time for the egg to dry, and continue designing on the other side.
