Egg Prep

 
If you follow my blog, you know that we use "faux" eggs for our
Easter egg coloring, each year...
 
 

I was so excited to get this dozen at Walmart.  (In the past, I purchased them at Hobby Lobby.)
I didn't have to make a special trip, plus they don't open and are a rougher texture!


So, as we've always done, we crumpled up aluminum foil and added in some pretty
acrylic paints...plus a little glitter, for fun...
 
(Oh, and I painted a few solid metallic silver beforehand.)




It really is so exciting to see how they turn out...




Hope you have an egg-stroidinary week!

That is so awesome! I've never heard of faux eggs before... not even sure we have them here. We either use boiled eggs or -gasp! - plastic eggs (with goodies inside).

Very beautiful and great technique. You must be very happy with the gorgeous results.
