The link did work. I ordered $50 worth - waiting for them to come. But I can not find the word ones that will stay on. They all seem too long. Did you order them from that same place?

I think I will try the silver and gold paint though.

I did and got the most beautiful gold words ever-so EASY to apply almost too easy...words like "peace" hope-love-joy etc.... so pretty

Those are exactly what i wanted and could not find them. Maybe I am all thumbs!

@aceschix-yes I ordered rub-ons from the ezrubontransfers.com...sonew123 had provided that information a while back---Thank you, sonew123! I also have been getting quite a few at Joanns-they are having a good sale this week and they have an additional 10% off coupon.

I am really spending a lot of time working on these eggs-can't seem to stop!

I am determined to perfect the step of painting on that triple thick-I have been applying two coats and I think it makes them look really nice. The first ones I did-I painted on way to much and when they dried it looked like a candle had melted all over them.

I still get a few drips now, but I'm getting better. If anyone has any tips or tricks I would love to hear them. Maybe just several thin coats is the trick.

As far as the rub-ons that work well...the ones that didn't work for me are the translucent butterflies and some silver holiday words-Joy to the World, Noel, Joy (with a snowflake for the letter O).

I ordered the gold words-peace, hope,love...that sonew123 just provided the link to and they are really pretty and easy to apply.

Good luck with decorating everyone!

Did anyone try the water type decals? They call them transfers. That is what I used a long time ago.

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 their own technique.​

I use a kitchen knife and tap...tap away until you get a little hole. My bead caps can cover various sizes of holes. Just be sures yours can cover whatever you make.

Jewelers screwdriver works great for me--just use the 'corner' of a regular head small one, scratch a little where you want your hole, then gently push it in. I can then carefully pry away a little more shell if I want the hole bigger.

I apologize if I missed this earlier in this thread, but has anyone tried embroidering eggs?
