Eggshell Mosaics
Idea sent by Cronda
This time, we're going to show you how to make a fun gift for that special someone. It can also be used to decorate cards, etc. All with eggshells.
You'll need:
One or more eggs (depending on the size of the mosaic)
Colored tempera paints
Universal glue or paste
First, empty the egg and let it dry. Once it's dry, paint the egg with tempera colors (we recommend painting the egg twice). When the paint is dry, apply a coat of glue or universal paste mixed with water to give it shine. Then crush the shell into small pieces, and create a design (the person's name, a heart...) on a hard surface. Next, glue the shell pieces onto your design. You can do this with the tip of a brush or a pencil. You need a steady hand and precision to make sure all the shells fit together. Then, once the mosaic is done, apply a coat of glue with water to make it shinier.
We encourage you to show us your mosaics on the forum!
