Note: It will be helpful to have all your tissue paper cut and ready in advance. Two strips of tissue will be enough for one egg, three strips will cover two eggs.Īlso cut a 1″ strip of your colored tissue paper and cut it into various sizes of triangles, these will fill in any bare spots of color later, I have more detail on this below. This made a square which could be punched all the way through with the paper punch. I cut a 1.5 inch strip of colored tissue, fold it in half, fold it in half again, then fold it in thirds. To create the polka dots I made squares of paper with holes in them which we’ll apply over the white base like scales. These four sheets will be the base of the egg. In the end I found that liquid landry starch right from the bottle was the least sticky and the easiest to work with considering the delicate tissue paper, so I stuck with that.įirst cut white tissue paper into the following sizes for each egg you’ll be making: one at 10″ x 5.5″, one at 10″ x 4.5″, two at 3.5″.
Plastic easter eggs big enough for a baby bottle pop candy mod#
I used watered down wheat paste (the fancy stuff bought at an art supply store), watered down Nori paste and watered down Mod Podge. Note: I tried a few variations on the starch. enough time to let these dry overnight, and a few hours to let them dry after filling and sealing them (you’ve been warned)Ī cutting mat, wheel cutter and straight edge will come in very handy but aren’t completely necessary.a sturdy shot glass to hold your egg while you’re working with it.a paint brush you don’t care much about.colorful tissue paper (one sheet will make many eggs, so you don’t need much).white tissue paper (one sheet will make about three eggs).water balloons (they make the egg-iest shape).
I like things you have to destroy to open. Also like a real egg you have to break the shell to get at what’s inside. The egg can hold a surprising amount of candy and the tissue paper seems delicate making for a delightfully heavy and yet fragile object, much like real egg. I created them using small water balloons and tissue paper then I filled them with candy and toys and sealed them shut. For Easter I made papier-mache polka dotted eggs.
