Decoupage of Easter eggs

For the holiday, eggs are painted not only by natural and artificial dyes. With the help of special paper napkins, you can make the decoupage of Easter eggs, which will look very impressive and elegant.

This method is absolutely safe, because a varnish or glue is not used as a fixer - paper fragments are glued with raw egg protein, and then dried. But the napkins are needed for this - three -layer, with a small pattern. Before the decoupage, the eggs are boiled boiled with salt.

Ingredients

• white eggs;
• Napkins with a suitable pattern.

The decoupage process is very exciting and fast. The time spent depends on the number of decorated eggs.

Cooking

1. Prepare the ingredients, but take into account that 1 egg must be postponed to use protein as glue.

2. Divide this egg into protein and yolk.

3. Wash and lay the rest of the blanks in a saucepan with water, which should completely cover their tops.

4. So that the shell does not burst, add a small spoonful of salt. From the beginning of the boil, cook eggs for 8-10 minutes.

5. Disassemble the napkins on layers - 2 white lower layers will not be needed.

6. Usually, paper fragments for decoupage are torn off with the hands (a torn uneven edge is less noticeable on the glued surface).

7. But on the egg shell, pictures cut out with scissors look great. How to prepare stories is a matter of taste.

8. It is more convenient to cut pictures at once for all eggs.

9. Sweeted the protein with a soft brush.

10. Put the plot on the egg and very carefully so as not to tear the napkin, apply protein, moving with a brush from the middle of the fragment to its edges. Sometimes it is convenient to apply a napkin on only half the workpiece, then dry it and continue the pasting of the second part (by touching the thin layer of wet paper, you can deform it and the pattern will shift). As a stand for drying, you can use an egg tray.

Fragments on the eggshell can be placed closely together, leaving no gaps.

However, you can also affix the images with some space between them to allow the white surface to show. It all depends on the design or theme you choose.

It will take about 5 minutes for the glued napkins to dry, after which you can confidently handle the eggs without worrying about smudging the design.

This is a simple way to create decoupage Easter eggs.
