Burger Eggs
I was happy with how these turned out but found this DIY to be the most difficult, and I also forgot a piece when I was putting them together. Oh well.
Ingredients
- 6 faux eggs (I used styrofoam white ones from my local AC Moore
- jars of brown and white acrylic paint from my local Michael's
- 1 piece of green tissue paper from my local Michael's
- paint pens - gold/brown and red from my local Michael's
- 2 checkered hand towels from my local Hobby Lobby
- bowl from my kitchen
- wood digital background (optional) from 123rf.com
- digital fries box & condiments (optional) from creativemarket.com
Instructions
- This is a picture of all the supplies I used for this DIY
- Mix together the brown and white paints until you get a tan color, something that looks like the color of a burger. The most time-consuming part of this DIY was that I started with white styrofoam eggs, and painted them with acrylic paint which takes a number of coats to cover. You could just start with a real (blown-out) eggshell and have an easier time of it.
- With a red paint pen, paint a rim of red (for ketchup) around the center of each egg.
- Just under the red ketchup line, use a gold/brown paint pen to draw a rim just under it.
- I completely forgot to add yellow triangles for the 'cheese.' I should have cut 3 tiny triangles out of yellow paper and glued them on the egg just above the red line, spaced evenly apart.
- Tear skinny strips of green tissue paper (lettuce). Glue each piece to the egg, above the red line, 'ruffling' the paper as you go.
- Using a white paint pen, paint little circles (sesame seeds) on each egg above the green strip.
- Stage the eggs in a basket covered with a red checkered tissue or cloth.
- Optional: I decided to take things one step further with some Photoshop magic and added a wood background to the image, then digital french fries, napkin, and condiments.
