Easter Chalk Paint Eggs steps

This year I tried a very easy way to empty the eggs. Using a thick needle, I made two holes, one small on the top and one larger on the bottom. You can also use a thin hand drill. Then, I put in the small hole of the syringe (without the needle) and pressed it to blow out the inside in a bowl.
I washed the inside with water. I cleaned up the outside with a wet cloth.
Paint the egg! Whether you paint your eggs all white (my son covered his egg with all his white paint … we had to wait one whole day to dry…), or you want to make patterns and motifs, there are several choices according to your taste and your free time.
When I finished the painting and let the eggs dry, I made some hangers with natural twine. The “secret” is to make a large knob fit in the hole. So, when I put the knob inside the egg hole, it couldn’t go out.
And, to create a pretty spring and Easter decor, I decided to hang the new chalk paint eggs from some branches. I had gathered these branches and painted them the previous day. Moreover, we can decorate these branches with paper flowers and origami eggs.
