What you need: Extra large egg, Equipment: Small pointed embroidery scissor, wire
cutters, tweezers, small bowl. What to do: 1. Using embroidery scissors, carefully cut an oval
opening in side of egg and empty contents. Wash out inside of shell. Very gently
remove the thin membrane lining with tweezers or fingers. Smooth edge of opening
with scissors and let dry completely. 2. Apply 2 smooth, even coats of nail polish to inside
and outside of shell, allowing to dry completely between applications. 3. Cut 3 small flowers from the base of the flower
sprig to fit inside eggshell. Wire together with velvet leaves around them. Glue
one of the circles of felt behind the leaves, then glue to inside of egg, using
tweezers to aid in placement. 4. Glue metallic trim around opening in shell. Glue a
bow tied from the narrow silk ribbon to bottom of opening. 5. Glue gathered lace edging to fit around the egg
shell, toward back of shell as shown in photo above. If desired you may make a
small loop from the metallic trim for a holder, and glue to top of egg.
