Crazy Eggs

April 9, 2020 Monica St. Angelo
Crazy Eggs

(Have fun--there are no mistakes!)

Supplies: balloon+white glue (diluted a little with water)+paint brush+scissors+newsprint+wrapping paper/magazines/colored paper for decorating egg+marker+string+masking tape to attach string

How to: 
1) Blow up balloon to size of a large egg and tie it shut.
2) Tie a string around the knot to hang onto while brushing glue onto the surface of the egg.
3) Cut small pieces of plain paper or newsprint. 
4) While holding the string brush a small part of the egg with glue.
5) Place paper onto egg and then go over the paper with glue.
6) Continue until you have covered the whole egg with two layers of the plain paper or newsprint. Hang egg to dry a little.
7) Cut small pieces of the wrapping paper, magazine or colored paper to decorate the egg.
8) Place paper onto egg and then go over the paper with glue.
9) Continue until you have covered the egg.
10) Hang the egg from the string until it dries.
11) Pop balloon with scissors at the place where the balloon was tied and remove balloon and string.
12) Attach a looped string to top of the egg with tape. (The string is for hanging in a window or on a tree. You may choose not to include a string.)
13) Glue paper over the tape and top opening to cover.
14) Draw on them if you like.

Note: Sometimes the balloon will lose air while drying. Don't worry. After the egg has dried and you remove the balloon, you can reshape the egg by reaching inside with your finger or a pencil.
