I asked for non-hatching eggs. For to make the beautiful with!
Solsken Farms and Hinkjc sent me beautiful blue eggs. Solsken also sent me some marans eggs.
I washed the eggs. Blew the eggs. Washed the eggs again. I heat dried them so there wouldn't be any stinky egg smell over time. I used long skewers and a piece of styrofoam to hold them. I decorated them then coated them in glossy mod podge to protect them.
Some eggs I left plain as they are beautiful as they are naturally.
I used inexpensive bead and jewerly making supplies to cover the puncture holes. I added pretty cords and ribbons to finish them off.
Here they are - my 2009 Christmas ornaments for my tree. I add new hand made ornaments every year. I really like these.
For easter we did similar. We decorated goose eggs. Here they are in a nice glass vase to be protected from little fingers and viewed all year long. To give you an idea of size - the vase is about 11 inches tall.
Repeat after me -
