I got this idea from a AccioLacquer's blog post, this is my interpretation of this, and how I made these 'eggs'.
What I used:
Polystyrene Egg - 78mm
Black Acrylic Paint
200-250 Push Pins / Drawing Pins / Tacks
Black Polish - Jess Midnight
Duochrome Polish - W7 Twilight
Top Coat
Glue Gun
First thing I did was to roughly paint the foam egg black, so that any gaps with the pins wouldn't show through.
Then I pushed pins in to a box, in lines so that I knew where I was up to rather than it being random
Painted the pin heads with the black polish
Second coat of black polish
Paint the pin heads using a duochrome polish, then top coat the pins
Begin sticking the pins in the egg, starting at the bottom in a spiral formation up to the top, over lapping the previous pin to keep it in place
Glue gun the last pin in place, and your egg is complete!
ooh they look so pretty! Now I want to make dragon eggs!!
