Model Answer

Whenever you use eggs for cooking, save the eggshells as they can be turned into
a lovely centrepiece. In order to make this particular ornament, you will need 10
eggshells and a decorative basket to display them.
First of all, do not crack open the eggs in half as you usually do. Instead, use a
pin or the tip of a knife to pierce a small hole at the pointed end of the egg. The hole
must be just big enough for the contents of the egg to flow out.
Wash the eggshells and then leave them to soak in a bowl of water. Add a few
drops of vinegar to help clean the remaining whites and yolks so that the eggshells
are free from any rotten egg smell. Next, drain the water and place the eggshells in
an egg carton with the holes facing upwards. Leave the carton in the sun until the
eggshells dry completely.
Once the eggshells are dried, you can start decorating them. First, paint all the
eggshells white. Allow them to dry. Next, use a pencil to draw patterns on the eggshells.
Then, paint them with vibrant colours. Finally, apply a layer of varnish to give the
eggshells a glossy finish.
Place the eggshells in a decorative basket and display them on your coffee table.
