- 1). Rinse the goose eggs under warm water to remove any surface dirt or dust. If necessary, you can wipe them with a soft cloth and use dish detergent to remove any stubborn surface dirt.
- 2). Lightly sand the surface of your egg if necessary to smooth out any rough edges. Use fine grit sandpaper, at least 100 grit.
- 3). Drill small holes in the top and bottom of the eggs. The holes should be large enough to allow air and egg innards to pass through, but not so large as to be difficult to cover later with paint. The crafting Web site www.modnet.com suggests 3 to 5 millimeters as the perfect size of the hole.
- 4). Push the long pin or needle through the hole at the top of the egg to break the yolk. Blow through the top hole in order to push all of the egg innards out the bottom hole. Catch the excess egg in a bowl.
- 1). Paint the surface of the egg with acrylic paints in patterns and colors of your choice. For easy painting, push the skewer through one of the holes in the egg, and wrap a small rubber band around the skewer at the base of the egg to prevent slipping.
- 2). Cut out pictures from magazines, or even your old photographs, and glue them onto the eggs. Pictures of friends and family can help to personalize the eggs, while pictures of Santa Claus, jack-o-lanterns or other holiday images can make the egg fit any occasion.
- 3). Glue small figures or decorations onto the surface for additional color and style. For instance, small felt balls, little bells and even miniature figurines such as teddy bears or toys can bring the egg to life.
