I've been wanting to marble eggs and paper ever since I got to know of the concept! Easter being just around the corner, we boiled 6 eggs. And brought out paints, water and oil.
Then dried it for a bit in the sun.
Then we poured in dark blue tempera paint in a shallow baking dish containing warm water. Then poured a few drops of oil and swirled it a bit with a disposable spoon. Then dipped eggs one by one- making sure a layer of oil covers most of the surface- to give the marbled look!
These would make great eggs for an Easter egg hunt we're planning but didn't want to use loads of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteYou could marble plastic eggs! I used boiled eggs since I didnt have any
