Metallic Eggs

- Wooden eggs
- Imitation copper sheets
- Blue mirror effect sheets
- Mixtion for gluing gilding leaves
- Acrylic paint
- Brushes
Step 1: Paint the wooden eggs with acrylic paint or leave them unpainted.
Step 2: Use a brush to apply a fine coat of glue to the egg.
Step 3: Wait 10 to 15 minutes until the glue is transparent and slightly tacky.
Step 4: Tear an imitation copper sheet into pieces and glue them to the surface, allowing them to overlap.
Step 5: Using a soft bristle brush, brush the surface of the egg in small circular patterns. This will eliminate any rough spots where the pieces of copper sheet overlap, creating a more uniform result.
Step 6: Use the same method that you used to apply the glue to apply the mirror effect sheet.
Step 7: Press the grey side of the sheet onto the sticky surface and pull back the sheet. The mirror film will be transferred to the egg.
