Use the paint brushes to coat one egg at a time in the glue. Make sure you check carefully to cover every area of the eggs.

Gently drop each coated egg in the bag of colored glitter of your choosing. Gently roll it around in the glitter, being careful not to let the egg touch against the sides of the bag too much.

When each egg is nice and coated, leave it in the bag and lay it flat for about about 2 minutes each.

Carefully remove the egg from the bag and if there are any spots that didn’t get coated, you can gently apply glue in just those spots. Then place the egg back in the bag. Repeat the process before moving on.

Once each egg is coated to your liking, you can spray the egg with hairspray and gently sit it down without scraping the sides to let it dry for about 8 minutes.
The hairspray helps the glitter to not shed near as much which is a brilliant hack.

Once the eggs are completely dry, enjoy displaying them this Easter.

Get ready for a sparkly Easter! Make your own dazzling eggs and watch the festivities come alive with fun.
