Prepping Blown-Out Eggs

Here's the 411 on blown-out eggs used for decoration purposes. The steps are simple enough, but be cautious - eggs are delicate and will break!

Egg
Needle
Boiling water

Directions

Use a pin to make a small hole in the top of the egg and a slightly larger hole (-inch diameter) in the egg's bottom.

Blow through the top egg hole, so the egg inside the shell slides out the bottom hole.

Rinse the empty eggshell with hot water.

Using tongs, gently immerse the empty eggshell in a pot of very hot water for 10 seconds to strengthen the inner lining and neutralize germs.
