Egg Ornamentsby Christina deRidder
Before making your ornament you will need to blow out an egg.

What You Need:
• Egg
• Safety pin
• Toothpick

Steps:
1. Using the safety pin, poke a hole at the top and the bottom of the egg.
2. Make the holes a little larger by poking the toothpick through the holes.
3. While standing over the sink, blow into the egg.
4. Continue blowing into the egg until all the white and yolk of the egg comes out.
5. Once the egg is empty, rinse it with water and blow the water out. Allow the egg to dry before beginning an ornament.

• Use caution to ensure that you do not consume raw egg. Rinse the egg to remove any raw egg before you put your mouth on it.
