Glittered Easter Eggs
- egg, at room temperature (use a variety of sizes, ostrich eggs, duck eggs, jumbo chicken eggs to small chicken eggs, quail egg)
- glue
- powdered glitter, these come in an array of colors, which can be mixed to create different shades. For added shimmer, or silver glitter
- The easiest way is to decorate the eggs raw and only bring them out for a day in a decorative vase -- OR you can boil them and leave them out for a couple of days -- OR blow them out and have them last for a very long time.
- TO BLOW OUT EGGS: Working over a bowl, pierce one end of a raw egg with a pin.
- Pierce other end, and use pin to enlarge hole slightly and break yolk.
- With your mouth or an egg blower, blow into smaller hole, forcing contents of egg through larger hole into bowl.
- Rinse inside of eggs and dry thoroughly.
- Use the eggs to make a nice omelet or scrambled eggs after you are done decorating.
- Brush craft glue onto egg.
- Gently set in bowl of glitter.
- Spoon glitter over egg, covering entire surface.
- Remove from bowl; set on wax paper to dry for at least 1 hour.
- Pile eggs up in a simple metallic basket or for an elegant statement, you can display glittered eggs in a glass hurricane or clear bowl.
