We've started on our egg making today with a popular local method. They are really into paper napkins here and sell a wide variety just about everywhere. So, decoupage with these napkins is apparently quite popular. I went to a store to look for plain old white glue or some sort of Mod Podge and instead found a glue that was called 'napkin art glue.' That's pretty specific!
First the napkin layers need to be separated. Just the thin top layer is used.
Then apply adhesive on the bottom and top of the the napkin. It works best to use small torn pieces of the napkin.
I really love the way they turned out. Of course they could've been blown first and then these could be saved for years to come, but since we're on the road, we will not be packing up any blown eggs into our suitcases when leaving. These were a great way to use a local technique without much fuss.
Then we also made some tea dyed eggs for breakfast. For these we first hard boiled our eggs and then cracked the shells before soaking them in tea for a few hours. We used a Wild Berry blend. When the shell is pealed off they look like a crackled porcelain egg- but are edible! And they smelled like berries.
