How to Decoupage Eggs

from the author of "The New Decoupage" Durwin Rice

The Russian czars had gorgeous eggs made for them by famous guys like Faberge.  Here's how to create your own bejeweled masterpiece!

Supplies

Eggs
Straight Pin
Gift Wrap Paper
Scissors
Elmer's Glue
Cellulose Sponge
Metallic Gold Pen
Bowl of Water
Artist's Brush
Spoon
Water Base Polyurethane (Find in Hardware stores.)

 

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.
