IT’S EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW!
- Paint over with Marabu Aqua matt varnish to remove paper fibre residues and protect the picture.
How it is done:
- Create the lettering using a laser printer. Please note – writing must be printed back-to-front. Cut it out.
- Paint the clean and dry egg. You don’t have to paint the whole egg. Paint the part where the lettering should appear.
- Next paint the surface of the printout.
- Place the printout with the printed image on the egg and smooth down with a scraper or finger. Remove any excess medium straight away. Do not spread the medium over the paper applied.
- Leave to dry for 2 hours or dry with a hair dryer for 8 minutes.
- Wet the paper printout with water and soak it well. Carefully rub the paper with a finger or sponge. Repeat the procedure until all paper layers have been removed.
