How to Make a Dinosaur Egg With Paper Mache
First of all, you have to tear the newspaper into strips; then, you will need a balloon which you will blow up and form the basis of the egg. Then you will have to use the glue to make a paper mache egg. For my project, I have used a flower made glue, equal parts flour, and equal parts water, and you mix it together, and it becomes a glue that dries nicely and is super safe for kids to get involved. Once you complete that, you will also need some paint and some clear gloss spray to set it at the end.
Step 1
So, you will want to blow up your balloon based on the preferred size of your dinosaur egg. Then coat your balloon in some P glue, and then you are just going to start putting on the torn newspaper onto the actual balloon. Then you just have to keep repeating this process until you probably have about three to four layers of newspaper around the dinosaur egg and covering around the balloon. Make sure it is fairly even; otherwise, you will get soft spots and some really hard spots that will just impact the longevity of the egg.
Step 2
Once you add the glue, pop it in the sun and let it dry completely. It may take three days to be dried completely.
Step 3
Next, pop the balloon, pull the balloon out, and then it is time to paint your dinosaur eggs. For my project, I painted each dinosaur egg purple and then let them dry overnight.
Step 4
After that, I used my Stanley knife to cut in the middle of the egg and followed with a little bit of a crack. You can draw the crack with a pencil to make the task easier. Your DIY dinosaur egg is ready now. If you want, you can decorate the egg in different fun ways. That’s up to you. Hopefully, these steps will help you to make your own dinosaur eggs easily.
