Decoupage of Easter eggs with colored napkins

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Before decorating eggs, you should first boil them properly. To do this, you need to follow some rule. So let's get started. Remove the eggs from the refrigerator and warm them up to room temperature, leaving them to lie at room temperature for 1 hour. So that during cooking the eggs do not roll too much and knock against each other, take a small ladle in which the eggs will be cooked.

2. Step 2:

   

   Next, put the eggs in a ladle with cold water. Add salt to the water at the rate of 2 tablespoons per 1 liter. This is done so that the eggs do not crack and even if this happens, the protein will not leak out. After 1 minute after boiling the water, turn down the heat, cook for 10-12 minutes, no more. It is very important not to overcook the eggs, as the protein will taste rubbery, and the yolk will be covered with an unpleasant grayish coating. Cool the hot eggs.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now prepare the paste. To do this, boil the flour in boiling water (0.5 tbsp.), mix well and cool at room temperature.

5. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the napkins. Disassemble the napkins into layers, leaving only the top layer, which is patterned. It is best to choose napkins with a pattern where small elements are used, because they are easier to cut and can be arranged more beautifully. But you can also work with large drawings. Cut out the pieces with the pattern.

6. Step 5:

   

   Place these pieces alternately on the eggs and paste them using previously prepared paste and the most ordinary brush. Let them dry on the egg rack (I used a plastic one that usually stands in the refrigerator) for 2-3 hours. Then you can transfer the eggs to where they will be stored until Easter.

7. Step 6:

   

   You can pack such eggs in a gift box, decorate it with tinsel, for example, and congratulate your relatives and friends on the holiday.
