I saw this DIY project on pinterest and was quite interested in creating the message in an egg for my fiance. The only thing I didn't like about this project was that you could clearly see two holes on both ends of the egg, which gave away how the message was put into the egg. I wanted to make some changes in this DIY project so that there was some mystery behind how the message got into the egg.
Things you will need:
- 1 egg
- Thumb-tack or needle
- Paper
- Scissors
- Pen (I used a fine tip sharpie)
- Hot glue gun and glue stick
- Toothpick
- Paints and brushes
Now let's get started!
The first step was to poke a hole in each end of the egg with a tack or needle. One hole should be a bit bigger then the other so you can later fit a small scroll inside. To create the larger hole, you will need to slowly chip away at the initial small puncture. After you have created two holes (one at each end), you will need to blow the egg out and let the inside of the egg dry.
While the egg is drying you will want to take this time to cut a small strip of paper and write down your message like I did above. I actually wrote three messages but you can write as many as you want. After your message is written you'll want to roll the strip of paper you wrote so that it resembles a small scroll. After the inside of the egg is dry, stick the small scroll into the egg through the larger hole. To plug the holes up you'll want to take your hot glue gun and put a small dab of glue onto each side of the egg. While the glue is still hot take a toothpick and flatten the dab of glue. After the glue is dry (which literally only takes a couple minutes) paint your egg any which way you'd like and then you're done!!!
