How to make a giant Easter egg from a pack of pasta
Want your home to look truly festive? Let's make a giant Easter egg that can replace a dish for dyed eggs. Gather the whole family, tell each other interesting stories, and work together to create a unique improvised vase from a pack of regular pasta.
## What you will need:
- "Ring" pasta - 400 g.
- "Shell" pasta - a handful.
- A balloon.
- PVA construction glue.
- Red acrylic paint or nail polish (other colors are fine).
- Hot glue.
- Spray paint.
- Colored straw for decoration.
## Instructions
Pour PVA glue into a deep plastic bowl or other disposable container and mix it with the pasta.
Inflate the balloon and draw the outline of a "window" in the shape of an oval on it.
Using tweezers, glue the outline of the drawn oval first, placing the rings exactly one after another.
Gradually cover the entire "body" of the balloon and leave it to dry for several hours.
During this time, paint the "shell" pasta with red or another color of paint (or polish). Leave to dry.
Pop and remove the balloon, then cover the hardened Easter egg with spray paint. Decorate with the shells using hot glue.
Line the inside of the egg with colored straw (you can thinly cut strips of green paper) and create a nest.
To make the egg-shaped vase stable, you can make a stand from an empty tape roll or a piece of a toilet paper tube.
Cover the top edge with a layer of hot glue and place the giant Easter egg on top. You can place both real dyed eggs and decorative ones, painted specifically to create a festive interior, inside it.
I'm watching your tutorial in top-secret mode so the kids don't see 🙃 Otherwise, that's it, we're doomed: they'll definitely demand to open the pasta and glue an egg like this 😄 The scale is really impressive!
