SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- 1- Package of Styrofoam eggs
- 1- 12" x 12" Sheet of glitter cardstock for each egg color: purple, green, blue

- 1- Bottle of gold metallic acrylic paint
- 1- Medium paint brush
- 1- Bottle of fast grab tacky glue

- Cricut machine
DIRECTIONS:
- Cut out the scales on the cricut machine. You will use most of the cardstock for each color. Cut equal amounts of each size.
- Starting at the top of the egg, using the smaller scales, glue the scales in a circular pattern with the round parts touching.
- Once the first group of 4 scales are in place, proceed up the egg gluing the scales in between the previous row of scales.
- Cup the egg in your hand while the glue sets for a few minutes before you continue to the next row.
- Use the larger scales once you get to the middle of the egg and then go back to the smaller scales on the last row.
- Once the egg is covered in scales, brush the paint into the cracks and edge of the paper to give it a more realistic appearance.
- Let the eggs dry.
