  • Step 1

    Take the larger half of your plastic egg and mark 3 equal spaced dots (this is where your holes will be punched out) along the inside edge.

  • Step 2

    Get out your crop-a-dile (or drill) and punch out three holes using the three dots you have drawn as a guide.

  • Step 3

    Decorate your egg with rubs-ons, paints or other embellishments.

  • Step 4

    Cut 3 pieces of wire about 7 to 8 inches long-- One wire for each hole.
