Today's craft is from a kit I had purchased from Barnes & Noble. It's called "Traditional Japanese Egg Decorating". It came with a wooden egg, a wood stand, paper, brush and glaze. Once you get the hang of it, it tells you how to do it on real eggs. Since bunny season is here (aka Easter) I decided this would be a fun and relevant craft!
Here is the egg and paper I had Stan choose:
You take the paper, fold it in half, make cuts every 1/4" leaving about 3/8" at the top crease, so as to not cut all the way through. Then you go back and cut each piece to a point:
Put white Elmer's glue on the inside center of the paper and roll around the egg, starting at the top of the egg glue each point to the egg, one at a time, overlapping as you go, then do the bottom paper:
Let it dry:
Paint the stand and let it dry:
Apply the glaze, let it dry and your done!:
