How to make it
1Paint the eggs white
Give each egg a coat of white paint. It makes the napkin colors brighter. Let them dry 20 minutes in the egg carton.
2Separate the napkin
Peel the napkin layers apart. Keep only the thin printed top layer.
3Tear small pieces
Tear out flowers or patterns into pieces about the size of a stamp. Torn edges blend in better than cut ones.
4Brush on glue
Paint a thin layer of glue on a small patch of the egg.
5Lay on the paper
Set a napkin piece on the glue and dab over it with the brush. Wrinkles are fine. They look like old china.
6Seal the egg
Brush one more thin coat of glue over the whole egg. Set it in the carton to dry for 1 hour.
For low vision, pick napkins with big, bold prints in strong colors. They're easier to see and tear around.
