Step 1: Crack an egg in half and gently break off pieces to get a bowl shape.
Dye and set aside to dry on a paper towel.
Step 2:Heat 1 inch of water in the frying pan. Place a tea light in the tuna
can and set in the simmering water so the wax melts. Place the eggshell in an
empty egg carton
Step 3:Tie a 2-inch section of twine around a toothpick. Coat the twine in
the melted wax. Place one end of the twine in the center of the eggshell and
rest the toothpick on the top edge of the eggshell so the wick stands upright.
Using pasta tongs, pick up the tea light and pour the melted wax into the shell.
Set aside
Step 4:When the wax is hard, trim the wick and discard the toothpick, and set
the shell in the empty tea light base.
Step 5:Decorate the base by poking holes in the can's sides with a pushpin
and painting with a coat of tempera paint. |
