> 1.Using the long needle or corsage pin, poke a small hole in
>both
> ends of the egg. Hold the egg over the bowl and blow into the
> egg to remove the insides. It helps to break the egg yolk with
> the needle or pin. Rinse the inside of the egg thoroughly with
> running water and let dry.
> 2.Decorate the eggs as desired, using the suggested supplies.
>The
> fabric scraps can be used to make little clothes for the eggs
>or
> glued all over the egg to make it look like a patch work
>quilt.
> Use the wiggle eyes and tiny pompoms to make faces. Use the
> rubber bands to cover the unpainted egg and then paint them.
> When the paint is dried, you can remove the rubber bands and
> paint the stripes a different color. Small items are easier to
> apply if you use toothpicks or the tweezers.
> 3.Varnish the eggs before applying the feathers as it damages
> them.
> 4.Glue the strips of poster board into circles to use for stands
>for
> the eggs. The paper clips will help hold the circles in place
> while the glue dries. Decorate the poster stands to match the
> eggs they are holding.
> Note: Hearts made of wood, cardboard, or any stiff material
> make great feet or even wings for the eggs too. The top arcs
>of
> the heart are placed to the front of the egg for the feet and
>at
> the top for the wings. Little circles or dots can be made with
> paint or a marker to be the toes if desired.
