Huevos de plástico marmoleados

1   Push a wooden flower stick into one end of the egg, enabling you to dip the egg in the paint. If the hole is too big for the flower stick, attach a bit of masking tape around the flower stick to secure it.

2   It there are no holes in the egg, make one with a warm metal stick.

3   Shake the marbling paint bottles well. Drip some paint into a bucket with water. We have used two colours as well as a clear paint.

4   Use a wooden flower stick to carefully pull across the surface of the water, mixing the colours and making patterns.

5   Gently dip the egg into the bath, so that it is covered by the paint.

6   Blow the colours over the egg and lift it (making sure not to lose the pattern).

7   Don't pour away the water before you have removed the paint with a piece of card. Clean the bucket and your fingers with ordinary cooking oil.
