Red Foam  cut into Diamond shape(For Birds Beak)

4 – Some Brown Paper  – Rectangular shape

Circular Cardboard

 

Instruction:

1.Using a craft Knife make a hole in the bottom of the egg to empty its contents.I also used a scissor to break the yolk inside.

2.To Make the Dye(You can half this recipe for 2 eggs):In a Jar add warm water, vinegar and food coloring and mix well.Add the eggs and immerse them in water using paper cups.Allow to soak for 5 mins for light colors and 10 mins for darker colors.

Allow to completely dry before you start working on it.I allowed it to dry for 2 full days.
