Eggs
play an important role in Easter. perhaps It symbolises
new life and fertility. There are traditional egg games
associated with Easter. Let us see how to make Easter
eggs which represent the tradition for centuries.
Raw
eggs can be made ready for decoration in any of the
following two ways.
-
Hard boil the egg and allow it to dry.
Then start decorating your eggs.
-
The second way is to empty the inner portions of the egg.
Use a needle to punch a small hole in one end of the egg. Then make a slightly larger hole
at the opposite end. Make sure you damaged the membrane around the yolk. Hold a bowl under the end of larger hole, blow through the small hole. Once all the egg is out of the shell, rinse with water to
clean it well. Let it dry. Then start applying your
decorating skills.
If
you don't want to use real eggs, you may use egg shaped
objects. Say balloon, Blow it to desire shape, wrap it
with lace or satin ribbon and decorate with beads,
sequins etc,. You can have small sized eggs to giant
sized eggs.
You
can make your Easter eggs using wax. Melt paraffin wax
and add desired colour. Pour in an egg shaped mould.
After it gets cool and hard remove it from the mould.
Embed with dried leaves or flowers or seashells or give
any exclusive pattern.

Mosaic
pattern: Fix rubber bands randomly around
the egg. Paint with different colour. Let it dry
completely. Cut out the rubber band carefully. You
will get exclusive finishing. Same way you can make
striped pattern also. Instead of rubber band you
may use tape. Wrap tape around the egg and colour
it. |

Glittering
Easter Eggs:
Glue the eggs completely and roll it in multi colour
glitters. If you want to have golden eggs, roll
it in silver colour glitter. If you want to have
silver eggs, roll it in silver colour glitter. This
pattern will sparkle in light. |

Spotted Easter Eggs: Pour two or three colour paints in a mug of water. Spot some oil on the eggshells. When you dip your egg into the colour paints, it makes the coloring not stick to the places where the oil is, thus making weird and wonderful spots on your egg.
Twirl Easter Eggs: Pour two or three colour paints in a mug of water. Dip egg in and twist it. The colours will stick in an extraordinary way.
