Finished Confetti Egg

Looking for an idea to really add pizazz to your New Year's Day celebration? Try making one of these fabulous confetti eggs.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Wash egg with soap and water. Wash as many as you would like to make.
Step 2

Making Holes in Egg

Using large needle, carefully poke a hole in each end of each egg, one at a time. Make one of the holes larger than the other (about 1/2 inch in diameter).
Step 3

Blowing out egg

With the large hole facing the bowl, blow into the smaller hole, blowing out all of the egg white and yolk into the bowl. Repeat with each egg. Use the blown out egg white and yolk in a recipe, or make scrambled eggs.
Step 4

Carefully rinse out the blown out eggs and allow to dry completely.
Step 5

Home Made Confetti

While your eggs are drying, you need to get some confetti. You can buy ready made confetti at party supply stores, or you can easily make your own using scissors, a 3-hole punch (check the one at the office!), or a paper shredder.
Step 6

Once your egg is dry, place a piece of masking tape over the small hole and put the confetti into the large hole. You can make the hole larger if you need to, but don't make it any wider than your masking tape.
Step 7

Confetti Egg Loaded and Ready

After your egg is filled with confetti, cover the large hole with masking tape and decorate it however you want with markers, acrylic paint pens, glue, glitter, etc. Allow to dry.
Step 8

At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day, smash one of these confetti eggs over the head of an unsuspecting party guest. The egg EXPLODES, and confetti flies everywhere. Lots of fun!
