Whether you choose to shatter them over someone’s head or to show them in a decorative vacation basket, these vibrant eggs are sure to be a remarkable addition to this year’s celebrations. For this project, you will blow out eggs, and then color them in any color of the rainbow (permitting them to dry on a pin-board) before covering them in fringed paper.

Guidelines.
Using a craft knife, poke a small hole at the bigger end of an egg, approximately 3/4 inch wide. Slip an unfolded paper clip through the hole and pierce the yolk, mixing the yolk into the egg whites.
Cut tissue paper into 1/2-inch-wide strips, and use fringe scissors to cut strips into fringe. Beginning at the extremely bottom, draw a narrow ring of craft glue around the egg and carefully location pieces of the tissue fringe along the glue; cut off excess fringe. Repeat up the egg, spacing fringe strips 1/8 inch apart.
Using a funnel, fill the egg about halfway with ready-made confetti or with your own homemade variation (just cut up several sheets of tissue paper into tiny squares).
Cut a one-inch circle out of cardstock paper and puncture a little hole in the. Optional: To add a name tag to the poppers, cut a small rectangle out of cardstock and include a name onto the tag.
