Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

[farmerinKC]

I use kabob sticks-but I only have one small hole in my eggs, and they are kind of perched precariously on the stick. It's a nervous time for me when I'm spraying them.

Chickie'sMoma :

has anyone thought about getting the kabob sticks since they are long enough to go through and still have some length to hold? just curious if they worked or if they are too large in diameter to fit into the holes in the eggs?

I have used them but only when I use the Blas-fix drill to make the holes. http://eggcartonlabels.blogspot.com/2011/10/egg-blowing-101-and-how-to-decorate.html​

I have found that there are certain brands and certain kinds that just don't work well. I know I bought some translucent butterflies that did not work at all. It is frustrating at times and a waste of money when that happens.

I am a little late posting pics of the ones I gave away for Christmas.. what I did was a handpainting on each egg of something that was personal or a favorite for the recipient. All were hand painted except for the Inspirational/motivational one which was rub ons. Please excuse the glare on some of them..

If I could find the bowing down smiley, I'd insert it here.

Those look absolutely amazing. AMAZING.

I love the Utah one.

Fantastic job.

Thanks!
We even made our own Christmas card this year (my husband loves drawing little foxes) So this is his artwork for the family card

I hate to say it but they would have been a lot better looking a few years ago.. my eyes aren't what they used to be for painting on little chicken eggs!

but thanks everyone for the compliments! IMHO my husband is a better artist than I am (he thinks otherwise) but he refuses to pick up a paint brush!
