STEP ONE
Prick both ends of the egg with a straight pin and gently blow out
the whites and yolk. Make yourself an omelette if you're hungry.
STEP TWO
Cut small shapes from the floral gift wrap paper. Petals, small
leaves, abstracts...have some fun.
STEP THREE
Cover the egg with Elmer's glue using your fingers. Dip the
cut-outs into the water and position them. With glue on your
fingers press them flat.

STEP FOUR
Clean up the excess moisture and glue with a damp kitchen sponge.
STEP FIVE
When it's dry, use an artist's brush to apply 2 coats of an
acrylic (water base) polyurethane. Paint them one side at a time
and use a spoon to rest the eggs in as the top half is drying. |
