Hi, I'm Gary for Expert Village. Another way that we can decorate an egg is by first draining
the inside of the egg from the shell. The way that we do this is that we very gently
take a needle and we poke the top end and the bottom end into the shell. You have to
be very careful and then we kind of move the pin around so that it creates a little bit
of a wider hole. Now that we have two holes, we can either let it, put it on some type
of a stand where it will be held over a bowl and it will actually drip out. Or we can actually
just kind of blow into it and it will actually start to come out the other side. It takes
it a while but this will create a nice shell and this way the egg, we're not so worried
about it breaking and making a mess even though you still have to be careful with it. We're
going to take some flowers and some leaves and we can actually glue it onto the egg,
it makes a really nice decoration. So this is really, once you have the egg, once it's
drained there is so many different options of how to decorate the shell either by painting,
either by using special markers, or actually gluing different types of images on the shell
of the egg like we're going to show you. Once all the egg has dripped out, after either
letting it sit and drip or we can actually blow into the other side and have it drain
out, but you can tell that it is empty. You'll be able to feel that nothing will be moving
around and we should then take it and wash it off very gently and make sure it nice and
clean before we start applying any type of images or any type of paints. We just want
to make sure that any kind of egg that dripped around the outside, is totally removed.
