I bought alot of the same rub ons you have and im having a hell of a time getting them to rub onto the eggs. The black ones in the little booklet, Ive rubbed and rubbed them suckers and they are still stuck fast to the paper. darn things!! I also bought some on the left side of the photo and I cant get them to work either. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to use a hair dryer to soften the suckers up or what, Help me out here or I have wasted alot of money LOL

You are right...some of the black ones don't rub off well. Sometimes it is just a piece of one that doesn't rub off. I'm still figuring this whole thing out, so I can't offer any words of wisdom but this...I bought a few Sharpie Oil paint markers (fine point) and have been touching up here and there with them!

Great job! Where did you find the shiny finial-leafy patterns? Are they stickers or rubons? I wish there was as much of a selection of rubons as there are stickers everywhere! I went to Michael's craft store yesterday and found some lovely Christmas rubons at 40% off...so I bought all of them!

Very nice! Do you have trouble with the ones with the gems on them staying on at all? Or have trouble coating them?

Thanks...I found them at Michael's ~ stickers. I have been unable to find any rub ons.

Thanks Kelly ~ so far I've had no problem with them. I use the Mod Podge clear coat (spray) and it seems to coat them just fine.

An ice pick works really well for making the holes in the top and bottoms of the eggs, btw.

For those of you who spray the sealer, or paint on what kind of contraption have you come up with to hold the eggs as you spray them? Mine keep spinning and it is hard to get an even coat on them

thanks for your help and ideas
