| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| Note: Broken china pieces may have sharp edges. Be extremely careful when working with them. Wear rubber gloves for your safety. |
| 1. To break china for mosaic, wrap one piece of china in towel. Gently tap hammer against china. Continue until broken pieces are about 3/4" across; remove from towel. Break remaining china chosen for design. |
| 2. Using photo as guide, use glue gun to glue several china pieces to centers of two opposite sides of foam egg. If additional china pieces are required to fit particular spaces, repeat Step 1. Tile nippers may be used to shape china pieces as needed. Glue glass gems to remaining surfaces of egg. |
| 3. In plastic cup, mix small amount of acrylic paint into 1/2 cup or more of spackling to create pastel "grout." Blend well, using spoon or craft stick. |
| 4. Wearing gloves, use fingers to work spackling "grout" into cracks between china pieces and gems, removing excess spackling as you work. Using damp sponge, gently wipe mosaic surface to smooth grout lines and remove excess spackling. Rinse sponge often. |
| 5. Following manufacturer's instructions, let spackling set. Use sponge to wipe surface clean. Let spackling dry overnight. Buff surface with dry towel to shine. |
