Supplies:
Hard boiled eggs
Colored sand
Mod Podge
Small paintbrush
Letter stickers
Basic supplies: letter stickers, colored sand, Mod Podge and a small brush.
How To:
1. Place letter stickers on your hard-boiled egg to spell a word or short phrase. Position the letters where you want the message to appear.
2. Using the small paintbrush, paint thin lines or sections of Mod Podge onto the egg, working in small areas so the glue stays tacky. Lightly dust each glued area with colored sand so it adheres to the Mod Podge. Repeat in random lines, bands, or patterns until the egg is covered.
3. Let the egg dry completely. Once the Mod Podge has set, carefully peel off the letter stickers to reveal the typography underneath—your message will remain the base color of the egg where the sticker protected the surface.
Fun trick: If you can’t find colored sand, tint white sand by placing it in a zipper bag with a few drops of food coloring and shaking until the sand is evenly colored. Spread the sand to dry briefly before using.

Tips & Variations:
- Try different fonts and sizes of letter stickers for varied looks.
- Use contrasting sand colors to make the letters stand out.
- For a longer-lasting finish, consider sealing the egg lightly with a clear sealer once the sand is dry (test on a spare egg first).
