Step 5Breaking the Ice
WIth base and egg begun now is a good time to cut the plastic that will serve as the "ice". Place the lower portion of the egg on the piece of transparent plastic, flat side down. Trace around the egg with a marker.
With the outline in place use a Dremel with a cutting wheel to roughly cut out the circle. Then switch over to a grinding attachment to remove the remaining material until the plastic just fits inside the lower portion of the egg. Be sure to just remove small amounts of material and to check the fit often. If you don't the plastic could sit lower in the egg than you intended.
WIth the plastic cut out and ground down remove any excess plastic that may have curled up on the edges. Then apply the frosted glass spray paint. This will make the plastic translucent and give it the appearance of ice. (You can wait until you're painting other portions of the project to do this, but be cautious of overspray from other paints.)
