Glitter Eggs
By Brenda Hyde
You will need:
Raw eggs
pin
craft glue
powdered glitter in various colors plus gold
Holding your egg over a bowl, make a hole in both
sides of the egg with the pin. Enlarge one hole by
moving the pin around the hole until it's slightly
bigger. Break the yolk by poking through the hole
with the pin, a thin needle will also work. With
your mouth on one end over the smaller hole, blow
until the insides come out into the bowl. Rinse the
inside of the egg carefully using the holes. Repeat
with as many eggs as you wish to decorate, allow
them to dry.
Carefully brush craft glue onto the outside of an
egg. Gently place the egg in one color of glitter
that has been placed in a bowl. Spoon the glitter
over the egg, covering it's surface.. Remove from
the bowl and allow to dry for at least one hour.
Repeat with other eggs. You can use any type of
bird egg for this craft, and any color glitter. Place
your glitter eggs in white or natural baskets for
a centerpiece. Soak a piece of floral foam, insert
tulips in an arrangement, place in a basket or
bowl, and cover the base with plastic around the
tulips and on top of the foam. Place on this a layer
of Spanish moss to cover, and arrange the glitter
eggs around the tulips.
