Easter eggs
We made a few Plastimake Easter eggs. We experimented with both solid and hollow eggs, here's how we made them.
Solid Plastimake eggs
- Start by rolling about 20g of Plastimake into a ball
- Stretch several small pieces of coloured Plastimake around the outside of the ball
- Put the ball back in hot water to re-soften
- Once it has become soft again, roll it in your palms until you achieve a nice egg shape
- Drop it in cold water to lock the shape
Hollow Plastimake eggs
- We started by blowing out the contents of the egg so that we're left with an empty egg shell
- Give the egg shell a light coating of oil, this will ensure it won't stick to the Plastimake
- Form a piece of warm Plastimake around the outside of the shell, allow it to cool
- We used some metallic Plastimake to add a simple silver design to the shell
- Use a sharp saw to cut it in half, remove the egg shell
- We added a simple hinge made out of a staple and a tiny piece of aluminium
