: Henna on eggs: keep the paste dry, do only one end or side of the
egg
When I first read this, I pictured a plate of fried eggs with
delicate designs drawn on them! yum! I now see that you are talking
about eggs as in egg shells.
One thing about decorating eggshells, they can be used as xmas tree
decorations if you hollow them out. To do this you poke a small hole
at one end (the sharp end of the egg), and a larger hole (about 1/2
cm diam.) at the other end. And then blow through the smaller hole
until all the egg comes out the bottom hole. These hollow eggs can
then be hennaed and because they are hollow they will allow some
light to shine through. I remember making these as a child, but we
painted them with regular paint, not henna.
