How to make Dinosaur glam eggs in just 5 minutes

Materials

To create your breathtaking Dinosaur glam eggs, you’ll need the following materials:

• Easter Eggs – You can use plastic eggs, or wooden eggs as a base. Plastic eggs are particularly recommended because they’re lightweight and durable.
• Clear Gems – Flat-back clear gems are the star of this craft. They give the eggs their glamorous, sparkling appearance. You’ll need enough to cover each egg completely.

Equipment

Here’s what you’ll need to assemble your Dinosaur glam eggs:

• Glue Gun – A glue gun is an essential tool to attach the gems securely to the egg’s surface.
• Glue Sticks – Ensure you have enough glue sticks for the project, as the gems require a strong adhesive to stay in place.

Instructions to make the Dinosaur glam eggs

Preparations

Before starting, gather all your materials and set up a comfortable workspace. Cover your crafting area with protective paper or a cloth to catch any glue or stray gems. Plug in the glue gun and allow it to heat up, making sure to have a safe station for it.

Crafting

Once your materials and workspace are ready, you can begin attaching the gems to the eggs. Work systematically, row by row, to ensure full coverage without overlapping. Depending on your skill level, you can even experiment with patterns or gradient effects using differently sized gems.

1. Add a dab of hot glue to the flat end of a clear gem.
2. Press the gem firmly onto the egg’s surface.
3. Hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure it adheres properly.
4. Repeat the process, working your way around the egg, until the entire surface is covered in clear gems.
5. Allow the glue to set fully before handling your finished Dinosaur glam egg.

Tips

1. Use tweezers to handle small or tricky gems, which allows for more precise placement and reduces the risk of burns.
2. Avoid applying too much glue at once, as it can seep out from under the gems and create a messy look.
3. To speed up the process, sort your gems by size and shape ahead of time for easier selection while crafting.

Craft Variations

1. Pastel Dinosaur Glam Eggs – Use tinted pastel gems for a softer, Easter-themed look.
2. Metallic Dinosaur Eggs – Apply metallic paints to the eggs before adding the gems for an extra layer of shimmer.
3. Glitter Coated Eggs – Sprinkle glitter between the gems for an added sparkle effect.
4. Miniature Dinosaur Eggs – Use smaller eggs and gems to create mini versions perfect for table décor.
