EASTER EGG CENTRE PIECE
Level: Beginner
What you'll need:
- Polystyrene Eggs
- Toothpicks
- Cardboard Box or Foam Block
- PVA glue
- Paint Brush
- Assorted glitter & gems
- Small bowls
Instructions
- Place a toothpick into the bottom of each egg. This will help you hold onto the egg while working on it and help when drying.
- Working on one egg at a time, use the paint brush to spread an even layer of PVA glue covering the entire egg. Leave the glue for 30 seconds to allow it to become tacky.
- Hold your egg over one of the small bowls and shake glitter all over the glued egg until it is fully covered.
- Shake off any excess glitter into the bowl. Use more glue to cover any patches that need more glitter and repeat shaking glitter onto the glued area over the bowl.
- Push the other end of the tooth pick into a cardboard box or foam block so it can stand freely without touching any other surfaces while it dries.
- Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the rest of the eggs.
- Choosing the gems you'd like to add, place a dot of glue on the back of the gem and place it as desired on the eggs.
- Once all the eggs are glittered and dry, including the added gems, spray a light coat of hairspray all over the eggs to create a topcoat that will hold all the glitter on. Once the hairspray is dry, your eggs are ready to handle.
