Egg Paper weight


A little different recycle idea

These paper weights are so much fun and so quick and easy to create.

I used a large goose egg although you can use any size egg you have.

Cut off the bottom of the egg so it will sit flat ( a Dremel tool works great to cut the egg ). Trace around the egg on poster board and cut out the circle to be used when finished.

Use any colors of PiƱata paints you like and cover the egg. Let colors run together to achieve the stained glass look. Let dry. Spray with several coats of high gloss clear spray to seal the colors.

Pinata Paints available at www.MarleneWatson.com

Fill the egg with sand. Glue the poster board circle to the bottom. Glue braid around the bottom edge to decorate.

The Pinata Paints can be found on my Open Stock page.
