This blog is a continuation of my previous blog topic, "Creative Eggs" where I showed two unique types of eggs that you could make this Easter, the scuba diver egg, and the ninja turtle egg. Now I have two more for you, a polka dot sparkly egg, and the shaving cream egg.
Sparkly Polka Dot Egg:
You'll need: Elmer's glue, sparkles, and a hard boiled egg.
Steps:
1. Pour some sparkles into a small bowl
2. Put small, circular dabs of glue on the hard boiled egg in a simple pattern.
3. Hold your hard boiled egg by its top and bottom and carefully lower the egg into the sparkles, touching one circular spot of glue into the sparkles at a time, then rotating your egg and dabbing another spot of glue into the sparkles until all of the glue spots are covered.
4. To let your hard boiled, polka dot egg dry, place it back into the egg carton for about half an hour.
Shaving Cream Egg:
You'll need: Cheap shaving cream, a couple of different colors of food coloring, a plastic container, and a couple of hard boiled eggs.
Steps:
1. Pour a thick layer of shaving cream into the plastic container.
2. With two or three colors of food coloring, put about five or less drops of food coloring into the shaving cream, and mix it up. Don't put too many colors in or the shaving cream will turn into a brow/gray color.
3. Once you have your colors mixed up in the shaving cream, roll your hard boiled egg around in the mixture until your whole egg is covered with some cool swirls on it.
4. DO NOT rub off the shaving cream! pull your egg out of the shaving cream and place it either back into the egg carton or on some sort of drying rack with the shaving cream on it.
5. When the shaving cream has had time to dry a bit, (wait about an hour or so), you can take a paper towel and carefully, (dabbing), take off the shaving cream from the egg.
So there you have it, four ideas to spice up your egg decorating and make Easter a little bit more creative! :)
