5. Mosaic Eggs – cover the shells with pasta or rice, piece by piece, putting tiny dabs of glue on the shell, not on the pasta or rice. Completely cover the egg – using the ideas shown here or making up your own designs. (It will be necessary to trim the pasta pieces with small scissors to fit in smaller spaces and fit the curvature of the egg.) Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before painting.
Color the stylized flower, mosaic and stripe designs by putting just a tiny dot of paint on the pasta or rice and leaving the egg to show through between each piece. Paint only half of the egg at once, and allow to dry completely between halves.
