Tips & Warnings
Make Easter cascarones by filling the eggs with mini jelly beans or small Easter candies.
You can fill these eggs with all kinds of treats for special occasions - colored bead necklaces for Mardi Gras, fortunes for the new year, candy corn for Halloween.
Make fancy confetti eggs by gluing glitter, bits of curling ribbon, or sequins to the outside of the eggshell.
Save your empty egg cartons for storing confetti eggs.
Unless you have a powerful vacuum cleaner, it is best to break cascarones outside.

Use the back of a butter knife to chop of the top of the egg, the whole will be slightly bigger but easier for kids to make. Rinse out egg shell, turn upside down to dry. Prepare easter color: food coloring, & vinegar dip eggs until color of your choice. Turn eggshell upside down to dry. Fill with your choice, use glue stick to glue around the outside of the hole, tissue paper, press firmly, set to dry. -

I found out that using a Philip's screwdriver works really well if you use a drilling motion at the bottom part of an egg. Just don't apply too much pressure or else it will crack the whole egg.
