Tip!

Choosing your needle or drill
If you choose to poke a hole with a needle, be aware that it will take considerably longer to blow the egg. On the other hand, the hole will be much smaller and therefore less visible.

If you choose to make a hole with a drill, it will take no time at all to blow the egg. However, the holes will be larger and harder to hide.

Hang your egg
If you used a drill, it’s perfect for threading a string through the egg or attaching a hanger to hang it in the window frame as decoration!

Painting
We recommend simply painting the egg with acrylic paint.

When painting
We suggest painting the base color first and then letting the egg dry for about 30 minutes, so you don't smudge the paint.
