1. Prepare the dough

• • In a bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of salt.
  • Gradually add 1 cup of water while mixing.
  • Knead with your hands until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and non-sticky.

2. Shape the eggs

• • Roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm (¼ inch) thickness.
  • Cut out egg shapes using a cookie cutter or a knife with a template.
  • Use a straw to make a small hole at the top — this will be for the ribbon.
  • You can add texture before drying — using bottle caps, lace, stamps, etc.

3. Drying: Choose one method:

• Oven drying: 100°C (210°F) for 1.5–2 hours, flipping halfway through.
• Air drying: 24–48 hours, depending on thickness and humidity.

4. Decorating – Once fully dry:

• Paint the eggs in pastel shades (gouache or acrylic paints work best).
• Optional: seal with a clear varnish for durability and shine.

5. Add the ribbon

• Cut a small piece of ribbon.

• Thread it through the hole at the top of the egg.

• Tie a knot or a small bow so the egg can hang beautifully.
