Tape and Paint
- Total Time Needed:
- Afternoon Or Evening
Here, paint teams up with a material normally used to keep it at bay -- masking tape -- yielding eggs with surprising textures and colors.
- Materials
-
- Styrofoam or plastic eggs
- Masking tape
- Paintbrush
- Acrylic paint
- Paper towels
- ALIEN ENCOUNTER:
- Markers
- Googly eyes
- Felt
- Pipe cleaners
- Toothpicks
- Glue
- Skewer
- Cardboard tube
- Aluminum foil
- Instructions
-
-
For each egg, cover the entire surface with 1-inch pieces of masking tape, overlapping the pieces and laying them on as smoothly as possible.
-
Working one area at a time, use the brush to dab paint onto the egg, then rub it in with a damp paper towel. Repeat until the egg is covered and is the color you want. Set it aside to dry, about 5 to 10 minutes. -
Take your tape-and-paint eggs further by creating an Alien Encounter. To use pipe cleaner legs or antennae, you'll need to start with a Styrofoam egg. -
For each appendage, use a toothpick to poke through the tape and make a small hole in the foam. Add a dab of glue, then insert a coiled pipe cleaner (we wrapped ours around a skewer). -
For some out-of-this-world-looking stands, we wrapped 1-inch sections of cardboard tube in aluminum foil.
