Retro Hollow Egg Ornament Craft

The original vintage, diorama egg ornament from the 1970s.

Supply List:

• Styro Foam egg
• gold twine
• straight pins (short)
• wooden figure
• acrylic paints: pinks, blues, whites, gold and flesh color
• white fur
• tiny white silk flowers
• white school glue
• wax paper
• hot glue and hot glue gun

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Hollow out your styrofoam egg just enough to give it room for the wooden figure. Try to keep the walls thick; use a metal spoon to carefully remove the unnecessary foam.
2. Now carefully pin the gold twine about the backside of the egg. 
3. You may add small amounts of white glue to help hold the twine in place. Let this dry thoroughly on top of wax paper.
4. Paint the wooden angel figure as you like.
5. Glue gold braid onto the angel's head.
6. With hot glue line the interior of the egg with scrap white fur.
7. Hot glue the angel figure inside and the tiny white silk flowers.
8. Pin on a wire hanger to the top of the diorama egg ornament and decorate the tree.
