Recycle broken eggshells to create a pretty mosaic!
To do this you need to:
Prepare a variety of dye colours in plastic containers.
Dye the eggshells by simply immersing them in a little amount of hot water with a few
drops of food colouring.
Add a drop of vinegar to the water to help set the colour.
*Leaving the shells in for varied lengths
of time will create different shades of colour to work with.
Remove shells from dyes and spread them out on paper towels to
dry.
When the shells are dry, gather the different colours in
separate containers.
Arrange the shell pieces in the basic mosaic design
before beginning to glue.
When satisfied with the mosaic placement,
the shell pieces can be glued into place with white glue.
If you prefer a shiny glaze on the completed project, use a clear
spray lacquer to coat the entire mosaic. |
