Tips for making confetti eggs

you can use any eggs you have, store bought or fresh from your hens. I used locally grown free ranged colorful eggs from the store.
I found it helpful to crack the egg on the edge of as squared off surface like my countertop a few mm from the top point of the egg.

you can rinse the eggs with water before drying them out.
save the eggs whites and yolk for a delicious recipe, but make sure no egg shells accidently made their way in!

Gently crack the top of the egg careful not to make the cracks spread to far. You can use a sharp object like a fork or pick to poke a small hole at the to to start off.

Carefully remove a bit of the egg shell just enough to get the egg whites and yoke out and the confetti into the egg.
Empty out the eggs into a bowl. To make the yolk come out easier you can break it up with a knife or a pick.

Put the eggs cracked side down to let the excess drain and dry. This can take a while.
Optional: at this point you can dye or decorate the eggs However you’d like!
While the eggs are drying, use the scissors to cut 1-2in squares out of the tissue paper to cover the hole in the egg.
Fold another sheet of tissue paper several times and cut one direction multiple times without going all the way up, making a fringe. Then cut the on the side of the fringe making the confetti.

Use the paint brush to apply a small amount of glue to the edge of the openings
place a square of tissue paper over the hole to close it up. let it sit till the glue is completely dry.
