Make A Painted Egg 1: Select an unspotted egg. Use a needle to make a hole on the egg, and then use a toothpick to gently stir inside of the egg, and then the egg-white and yolk will flow out. Until the inside liquid flows out completely, rinse the egg to clean, then dry it. 2: Polish and paint the eggshell. 3: Next, depending on your fine-arts skills, paint the egg as good as you can. Be careful! Egg is fragile. Use a colored pen to paint patterns you like on the egg shell surface. (If you worry about your painting skill, our teacher Ms. Hu will teach you another way: You could buy colored stickers, choose the patterns that you like and paste them on the shell. You’ll still get 100 points, and it’s very convenient too). 4: You can also use your own stuff like ribbons, etc. to paste up on the eggshell!
