Cement eggs Tools & materials Sewing needle Dingo grey cement Water Spoon Old bucket or plastic bowl Old spoon or spatula Eggs
Steps Using the needle, prick a hole in the side of an egg, keeping the opening as small as possible – ours were around 3cm in diameter. Drain out the eggs. Mix cement in an old bucket or plastic bowl, adding small amounts of water for a thick but wet consistency. Drip cement into empty eggshell using a spoon and leave to set overnight. Once dry and hard to the touch, gently peel away the eggshell. u
