Tips!
When choosing a needle or a drill
If you choose to poke a hole with a needle, you should be aware that it takes significantly longer to blow the egg. On the other hand, the hole will be much smaller and thus less visible.
If you choose to poke the egg with a drill, it takes no time at all to blow the egg. On the other hand, the holes are larger and harder to hide.
Hang your egg up
If you have made a hole with a drill, it is perfect to thread a string through the egg or attach a hanger and hang it up in the windowsill as decoration!
Painting
We recommend that you simply paint the egg with acrylic paint.
When painting
We suggest that you paint the base color first and then let the egg sit for about 30 minutes to dry, so that you do not smear the paint.
