DIY EGGS 6 WAYS

INSTRUCTIONS

WASHI TAPE EGG

Step 1 - Start by tearing off small 1- 2cm strips of washi tape and layering it on top of each other on the papier-mache egg.

Step 2 - Continue doing this until the entire egg is covered in washi tape.

Step 3 - To finish paint a coat of PVA glue over the entire egg and leave to dry. Paint a 2nd coat if desired.

SLIME EGG

Step 1 - Pour out the entire bottle of a 4oz 'Elmers' School Glue into the bowl.

Step 2 - Add 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda and mix throughly.

Step 3 - Add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution.

Step 4 - Mix until mixture gets harder to mix and slime begins to form.

Step 5 - Take the slime out and begin kneading with both of your hands.

Step 6 - If needed, add 1/4 tablespoon contact lens solution to make the slime less sticky.

Step 7 - Add in glitter and mix into slime.

Step 8 - Place slime inside plastic egg to finish!

TWINE EGG

Step 1 - Starting at the base of the egg, paint some PVA glue onto the egg.

Step 2 - Take the twine and begin coiling/wrapping it around itself working your way up the egg. Continue to add more glue as you go, so the twine is secured to the egg.

Step 3 - Continue this process until the entire egg is covered in twine. Cut off excess with scissors once you reach the top. Leave to dry.

FRECKLE EGG

Step 1 - Working with one colour at a time use the paint brush to paint small brush strokes onto the egg in a random/scattered pattern. Leave paint to dry.

Step 2 - Once paint is dry, repeat step 1 with another colour of paint and again leave to dry.

Step 3 - Continue this process until the whole egg is covered in coloured freckles!

GLITTER EGG

Step 1 - Start by painting a thin layer of PVA glue on the inside of the plastic egg.

Step 2 - While the glue is still wet sprinkle glitter over the top of the glue. Leave to dry.

Step 3 - Once glue is dry, repeat this process again. Paint another layer of glue and sprinkle another glitter over the top.

Step 4 - Continue repeating this process until the entire egg is covered in glitter.

Step 5 - Once you are happy with the coverage of glitter on the egg. Paint a final coat of PVA to set the glitter. The glue will dry clear leaving you with a glittery easter egg!

GEMSTONE EGG

Step 1 - Starting at the base of the deco foam egg use a hot glue gun to glue rhinestones on individually.

Step 2 - Continue gluing rhinestones on, working your way up the egg. If you like you can change the sizes of the rhinestones as you go. We started with larger gems at the base and swapped to smaller gems half way up.

Step 3 - If there are any gaps you can fill them in by gluing more gems into the gaps and layering them on top of one another.
