Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!
I prefer the spray. The key is to get your egg on a skewer, get the can about a foot from the egg and gently spray while spinning the egg. Several light coats work best for me. -

M.sue : OK......you guys have inspired me. I want to make an ornament for my 2 children. If you don't mind tell me.....what do you use to drill the hole in the egg without cracking the egg? I'm assuming a small drill bit. I use a thumb tack, but others may use a small drill. Everyone has... -

Hey, Neighbor! I had the same problem with some of mine. I think spraying several thin coats, and letting them dry in between, helped with mine. Yours look great! -

Quote: What did you use to make the dark brown eggs look so golden all over? They are absolutely beautiful! Hi Kristi, and thanks for the compliment. I used plain, cheap spray paint, in antique gold or something similar. I very lightly spray the egg as I turn it to get a light 'flecking'... -

Quote: I used syringes to do mine. Can't remember if I used a 20cc or 12; probably depended on the size of the egg. Just remember to start slow with the larger syringes, as I ended up cracking a few eggs by using too much force. -

You could very lightly 'fleck' them with a gold or bronze spray paint to give them some sparkle, then seal them. Or just seal them and leave them as is. Beautiful egg! -

Ehaus, Can't remember what brand spray sealer, but I did get it at Walmart, in either the craft or paint dept. Paint dept stuff was cheaper, and I think I got the shiny stuff. Anyway, you do have to experiment with how far away to hold the egg (on a skewer), and how to best gently rotate the egg... -

Quote: You could spray a very light speckling of metallic spray paint, so that the color of the egg is still very visible, then seal with clear coat, and add your hangers and bead caps. Or , you could just clear coat them and add the bead caps and hangers. They would look great au natural. -

Quote: I don't sell mine for less than $6 an egg. After all, these are handmade ornaments. You can't just go to Walmart and buy them. I'd try offering them on Craig's List or Etsy. I gave mine away as gits last year, and people LOVED them. They are truly one of a kind keepsakes. -

Quote: Michael's has the beadcaps--look in their beading/jewelry/findings section. You can also find them online, just be aware that they come in different sizes, and some work much better than others. Can't remember what I ended up using now,but the ones at Michael's worked the best. -
