Hi!  This is Wendy with Birds of a Feather and I have a fun little tutorial for you today!  What a cute idea for a wedding send off!  They are easy to make and oh so super cute!  These eggs are said to bring good luck to the person who’s head they are smashed over – how fun is that?!

Let’s start with the supplies you will need.  If you find yourself crafting quite a bit like me, you more than likely have some of the items lying around already.

Carton of eggs (get the white ones, the dye shows up better)//Cups to put the dye in ( I bought these PAAS cups at Target to make things easier)//Egg tongs (these work SO much better than the cheap little wire one that comes with the dying kit – it is also useful for holding the eggs under the dye)//White vinegar//Sharp, pointy knife//Thin wooden dowel//Large bowl ( or you can empty eggs over kitchen sink)//Easter egg dye kit//Tooth picks//Rubber gloves//Rubber bands (optional)//Paper confetti//Glitter and a shallow container to pour it into (I used the lid of a mason jar)//White tissue paper//scissors//Modge Podge//Sponge applicator
