How to Blow Out an Egg | Easter Craft

In this video I show you the technique that I use to empty eggs without breaking the shell. This method doesn't require many materials and leaves you with an intact egg ready to decorate. You could decorate the egg for Easter, use it to hold messages or create ornaments.

Materials:
- Eggs
- Skewer/Nail/Needle
- Bowl
- Water

Steps

1. Create a hole at the narrow top of the egg. Twist a sharp nail into the hole carefully to break though the shell. Repeat with the large end of the egg. Make this hole slightly larger as this is the end that the egg yolk and white will come out of the shell.

2. Slide a thin needle into one of the holes and spin it around to break up the egg yolk. This will make it easier for the egg to be blown out of the egg.

3. If you are using your mouth to blow the egg out of the shell clean the outside of the shell. If you do not want your mouth to touch the egg you can use a straw. Place a bowl under the egg and blow though the small hole on the narrow end. The egg should start to come out though the larger hole at the end of the egg. If you are having trouble blowing it out, try breaking the yolk again or making the holes slightly bigger. Refrigerate the egg to use in cooking so that it is not wasted.

4. Place the empty shells in a bowl of warm soapy water. Hold the eggs down so that some water enters the egg. Swirl it around and blow it out.

5. Leave the eggs to dry out thoroughly before using for craft.
