Drips and Swirls
Rubber Cement is just one great material to add drips and swirls to any egg. It is easy to apply, fast drying and most importantly easy to use. I will often drip it over an egg or while the egg is securely attached to a bamboo skewer will spin the egg over a piece of wax paper and drip the rubber cement over, to create a thin, even swirl. One thing to watch out for is eggs touching each other. After the rubber cement is on the egg, do whatever you can to keep them apart. If they touch, they'll stick and bleed dye into those once crisp, clean lines. Other than that it's a sinch. Check out Toni's basket; I paired bright, festive colors with a cute tin bunny basket I found while thrift shopping. The basket needed a little clean up and some pale yellow grass. I love the uniform look of the design but with a mix a seasonal colors that make it pop.
