Original technology
In order for the result to be satisfactory, the right technique is important. The egg, whatever the material, must be held in the right place and placed in the right place:
- On one side, a thin skewer is inserted into the egg and fixed with plasticine. After each painting or gluing, the egg and the wire are placed in a bowl to dry (the egg is in the air).
- A kind of handle is formed from wire, the ends of which are attached to the egg. This way you can hold the egg well until the colors dry. At the end, remove the wire and cover the places where it was attached with some paint.
- Place the egg in an egg cup. If you don't have one at hand, make a cup out of play dough or modeling clay. After the colors have dried, simply turn the egg over.
