Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cover your table with newspaper or a drop cloth.
  • Gather all materials to have them within reach.

Base Coat

  • Choose your base color and apply a coat of acrylic paint to the egg.
  • Use a paintbrush to cover the entire surface evenly.
  • Allow it to dry completely, which may take about 30 minutes.

Texture Time

  • Once the base coat is dry, apply a thin layer of glue.
  • Sprinkle glitter over the glue for a sparkling effect, or use beads to create texture.
  • Let this layer dry.

Detailing

  • Add additional colors using a paintbrush to create patterns such as scales or swirls.
  • Experiment with different techniques like sponging or splattering for diverse effects.
  • Allow the details to dry thoroughly.

Seal Your Creation

  • For durability, coat the finished dragon egg with Mod Podge or sealant spray.
  • This will protect your design and give it a glossy finish.

Notes

Consider organizing a dragon egg crafting party for friends and family and use your dragon eggs as props in storytelling games.
