Ingredients

  • Boiled Eggs
  • Fine Glitter
  • Elmer’s Glue
  • Paint Brush
  • Quart Baggies
  • Hairspray optional

Instructions

  • Technically, you could still eat these eggs, although if you ingest too much of the glitter, it could technically make your poop sparkly. Hilarious, I know. However, not something I prefer, ha!
  • The hairspray cuts way down on the glitter shedding, so it’s my preference to use it. Cheap hairspray does the trick.
  • Coating the glitter with another layer of glue didn’t work to hold it in place, it just made it a thick gloppy mess. I wouldn’t do it.
  • I attempted just shaking the glitter over the eggs and it was a messy disaster and the coating wasn’t near as smooth. The baggie saves a ton of mess and the coating is so pretty.
  • I preferred the fine glitter, but slightly chunkier glitter could work. If it’s too large, the coverage won’t be as good.
  • You don’t want a super thick and goopy amount of glue, just a basic thin layer is best. This works for any type of eggs, including brown or farm fresh eggs.
