Shabby Chic Easter Eggs

Dainty and beautiful real eggs.

I made these eggs last year and put them in cardboard egg cartons. Mod Podge items will stick to each other.
​So this was perfect to let them set a whole year, they were perfectly cured by that time.

First you will need to make a hole in each end of the eggs and then blow the liquid (white and egg yolk) from the egg. I used a large needle and a small hammer to make the holes. Don't worry if you break a few, just always buy enough for the mishaps.

After the eggs are all punched and blown out, I go back and run water through them, just to make sure all the yuck is out and let them dry over night.

Buy a package of napkins when you see some you like, because my experience is if you go to actually look for what you want you can't find any. One package is more than enough for two dozen eggs.

​Cut out the designs you want to use and Mod Podge the place on the egg where you want to place your design and then Mod Podge over the design on the egg carefully. I find it is about impossible to do more than a couple designs at a time on an egg. Place the egg with the backside that hasn't been Mod Podged (or the Mod Podge side that has dried) on a rack to dry. When the egg has been completely covered with your napkin designs let dry completely before letting them touch each other. Enjoy!
