DIY... Easter Egg

(If you prefer, use wooden eggs, available at crafts stores.) Carefully twist the point of a utility knife against each end of the egg to create two small holes. Insert a long pin through a hole to pierce the yolk. Blow out the insides with an egg blower, available at crafts stores, or with a rubber ear-and-nose syringe. Let drain; rinse. Blow out again, rinse again, and let dry.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Tools and Materials</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Blown-out eggs</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pencil</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Origami paper</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Embroidery scissors</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Small paintbrush</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Glue sealant, such as Mod Podge</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Elegant Eggs How-To</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />1.
