Fancy Hard Boiled Eggs

Did you know you can form hard boiled eggs into different shapes. It's quite easy to do.
The trick is to use a newly boiled egg that is still hot.

Step 1 Materials needed

• Hard boiled eggs
• Rubber bands
• Molds/shapes

For my molds, I glued some old plexi-glass together in a 90 degree angle.
They are about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.

You don't need anything too fancy, just look around the kitchen and see what you could use. Any small container that would fit an egg snugly but not too tight will work. Be creative.

Maybe I just haven't paid close enough attention, but I've never seen this before. I love the idea that you can change the shape to match the mood and occasion. Thanks for the instructable.

This technique has been used in Japan for their cute lunch boxes for a while. Amazon sells some cheap plastic molds for whatever shape you want:

TIP: You need to shell the eggs before trying this.

I love molded eggs. They are very popular in bento lunches. If you check on j-list.com they have some cute molds made just for eggs. I have a bunch of them in different shapes, even Hello Kitty. You can also find then on ebay for cheap.
