Instructions

1. Click here for instructions on how to blow out the insides of your egg.

2. Squeeze a little bit of each paint that you'd like to use on a dish.

3. Lightly dip your finger in the paint and press it onto the egg shell. It will take a little practice to get just the right amount of paint on your finger so that it makes a nice print. If you like, you can practice on a piece of white paper before you begin.

4. When you have finished creating your design, allow the egg shell to dry completely.

5. In a well ventilated area, spray a coat of the acrylic sealer on the egg. This will prevent the paint from chipping and your egg will look great for many years to come!

These sound like they would be fairly hard to make. You would have to be a craft queen to be able to do this without breaking the egg shell. Very cute idea, I think I would pay someone to make them for me.

I never had any luck blowing the yolk out of the egg, of coarse that was a long time ago! I like the idea, I think I will have to try it!

I don't think I could do this project...I'm pretty clumsy. LOL. You'd definitely need a steady hand for this one. I remember we had to do something like this when I was in grade school. Everyone's eggs were breaking!
