Sparkly Easter Eggs Part 1

Sometimes, the same old same old food colouring and water dyed easter eggs can get old... so here's a tutorial on how to make this super cute and festive Sparkly Easter Eggs!
                         
Sparkly M:




How to do the sparkly M:


Materials:
Double sided adhesive letters
Scrapbook shimmer or fine glitter
Hard boiled eggs (With Shell)
egg dye (optional)
Paper Plate


First, make sure your egg is dry. If you are going to die the egg like the Sparkly M, then you should wait an hour or two until the egg is completely dry and not sticky. 


Next, apply the double sided adhesive letter to the egg as if it was a sticker. Make sure you smooth the sticker down so it's really stuck onto your egg.     Note: bumps and raised areas are ok, just try to limit the amount of them and get any as smooth as possible. 

After that, carefully peel off the top protective layer of the sticker so the second sticky side is exposed. Be careful not to touch the exposed adhesive as that may cause it to detach from the egg. 

Finally, it's time for SPARKLES!!!!!   Hold your egg over a paper plate with your thumb and index finger and gently sprinkle some sparkles onto the adhesive letter. The sparkles will get everywhere, so be prepared!


Carefully tap the excess sparkles off of the egg and if necessary, lightly blow or brush away any ones that won't be tapped off.

AND VOILA!!! 

You can also use the same glitter technics with glue dots!
