Supplies

Blown-out white eggs, brown egg shells
Acrylic colors
White glue
Tweezers
Flat brush
Wooden skewer
play-doh
Bonus: base coat, nail polish with cracking effect

Step 1

Prepare your eggs – blow the content of the white egg out, clean in and let dry. You can also put eggshells aside while cooking or baking, wash them carefully and let them dry. Using a brush you can paint the shells in different colors and let them dry.

Step 2

For better working with the egg shells, I drew the wooden skewer through the holes in the egg and fixed the bottom of the egg with play-doh. Using a flat brush paint your egg. I mixed pink and silver colors to reach a metallic effect. You can also have your egg white. It´s up to you and your fantasy.

Step 3

Make the mosaic pieces by gently cracking the shells with fingers or spoon. Using a brush apply a thin layer of glue on a small area of the egg and using tweezers attach the colored piece of shell, then slightly press it with clean and dry fingers. Before adding another piece, don´t forget to leave a small space between the two pieces. Try to mix smaller and larger pieces. Keep adding different colors on the surface of the egg until the egg is covered.

My tip

When I mixed metallic color on the egg, and idea came to my and I decided to try one unusual decoration. I painted an egg shell with nail base coat. Then I applied the nail polish with crackling effect and let dry.
