1. Cover work surface with newspapers. Place any non-foam eggs into egg cartons and spray with All-Purpose White. Let dry, then flip eggs over and spray other side.
2. Repeat technique to spray colors on eggs. Note: Only use Latex Paints on Styrofoam eggs. Use removable dot labels and reinforcers to create small dot and circle stencils. For larger dots, use reinforcers and cover holes with small dot labels. Use masking tape to stencil stripes; double up on tape to create varying widths. Use masking and painter’s tapes to mask checkers, or tape a stripe horizontally and another vertically on egg.
3. If using craft bird, spray with a light mist of Gumdrop, and accent wings in Periwinkle.
