Each shape will have one colour. Press heavily in the three or four corners of the shape, moving from the corner outwards slightly. Repeat this in the same shape but much lighter the second time. Leave the centre of each shape white. 3 Repeat this all over the egg with different colours. 4 Cut out egg and glue onto black background. 5 Cut out egg again. This time leaving a one centimeter black border around the egg. 6 Cut a narrow strip out of the left over black paper for the centre ribbon. Measure to fit across the egg and cut it. 7 Tie a small black curling ribbon in the centre of the black strip. 8 Glue this long strip across the centre of the egg. 9 Display on white or send home with an Easter message pasted on the back.
