FAQs

What types of decorations work best on these eggs?

They are ideal for painting, glittering, decoupage, fabric covering, pin art, and attaching lightweight embellishments with glue.

Can I use these for outdoor decorations?

Polystyrene can degrade in direct sunlight and weather. For outdoor use, consider sealing them with a UV-resistant sealant after decorating.

Are these eggs suitable for children's crafts?

Yes, they are lightweight and easy to handle, making them very suitable for children's craft projects. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children, especially when using glue or sharp objects.

How do I attach something to hang these eggs?

You can gently push a small eye hook into the top of the egg, or pierce a small hole and thread ribbon or string through it. Alternatively, glue a loop of string or ribbon to the top.

What is the difference between the 35mm and 48mm eggs?

The 35mm eggs are smaller (approx. 1.4 inches tall) and suitable for smaller projects or details, while the 48mm eggs are larger (approx. 1.9 inches tall) and better for focal points or larger decorative pieces.

Can I cut or shape these eggs?

Yes, they can be easily cut with a craft knife or hot wire cutter, but always exercise caution and adult supervision when using sharp tools.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking well

Ensure the egg surface is clean and dry. Test adhesives on a small area first, as some solvents can dissolve polystyrene. Use adhesives specifically designed for foam or lightweight materials.

Paint is not covering evenly

Apply a primer or base coat of white acrylic paint before adding color. Multiple thin coats of paint usually provide better coverage than one thick coat.

Eggs were crushed during shipping

While unlikely due to their lightweight nature, if an egg is deformed, you can try gently reshaping it. For significant damage, use the remaining intact eggs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
