Decorate by scratching

What do you need:

• Egg
• Paint
• Small brush
• Pencil
• Sharp knife or a needle

First you paint the egg in a colour you like. When the paint has dried, use the pencil to draw lightly the figure you want to have on the egg. Now start carefully scratching away the paint under the lines, so you will see the colour of the egg again. Be careful for the egg can fairly easily break, but it gives a very nice effect.
And when you show your eggs to your friends, they will wonder how you’ve done it.

And also have a look at: blowing out, holding and putting up of eggs.

Hint

• Try one time to scratch your name in an egg.
