Instructions

1. Gather a variety of different eggs. Look for ostrich, chicken, duck, quail and goose eggs.

2. Blow the yolk out of each egg. See the eHow link below for instructions on blowing eggs.

3. Cover your workspace with newspaper or other protective material. Fill several bowls with different colors of glitter. Use pastels for the most striking results.

4. Brush each egg with craft glue. Cover the entire outer surface of the shell.

5. Gently set the glue covered egg in a bowl of glitter. Use a spoon to cover the egg with glitter, making sure there are no empty spots.
