      1. Prepare your egg shells by washing and drying real eggs shells (or use colorful plastic eggs if you are pressed for time – then you can skip the painting steps).<\/li>\n
      2. Using a white glue, (any white glue will work) paint the outside and inside of the egg shell with the glue and let dry. This will stabilize the shells and also prime them for the paint.<\/li>\n
      3. Paint the shells with acrylic paint to coordinate with the gift\u2019s colors. Paint the inside and outside different colors to make them more playful.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
