Cover plastic eggs with Aves epoxy clay, add texture and paint to create dragon eggs. Mold the clay and embed class eyes to add a hatch-ling to one of your eggs.
Description:
Start with plastic eggs as the base and then use Aves epoxy clay to add texture. Shape the epoxy in to a small dragon hatch-ling with a pair of glass eyes and add it to the base of one of your eggs. Finish your eggs and hatch-ling with Plaid paints.
We supply everything you need.
Epoxy clay takes time to air dry to a hard finish depending on the thickness of the application. You are welcomed to leave your eggs and hatch-ling in the classroom and pick them up later in the day so you don't have to carry them with you.
Children are welcome but must be supervised.
