 | Prepare dye according to package directions (or check out our easter
egg dye ideas)
|
| Put the wax into a tin can and place the can into a saucepan that has approximately an inch
of water in the bottom. Turn the heat on medium low and watch carefully.
The water needs to warm enough to melt the wax until they reach liquid form. (Adults only should do this step of the
activity -- if you put the heat too high or leave it on too long, it could
ignite)
|
| Using a potholder around the can in case it is warm, pour the melted wax into
the margarine container. (Adults only should do this step of the activity.)
|
| Position the pressed flower on the egg
|
| Dab melted wax completely over the flower and onto the egg slightly with
q-tip or paint brush
|
| Dye egg as usual.
|
| The wax will keep the dye from touching the flower and will
"glue" the flower onto the egg! |
