Make a gorgeous Dragon's Egg

Step 3Attach a cocktail stick to the egg

Attach a cocktail stick to the egg
As with many model making projects, the problem of how to hold the work piece while you paint it, work on it, and other wise tinker with it, is overcome by attaching a small sacrificial handle. The dragon's egg is no different.

Put some hot melt on the end of a cocktail stick and gently push it into the egg at one end so that most of it sticks out. Hold it till it is set and add a little bit of hot melt, glue gun glue on the outside if necessary.

You must still handle the egg with care, but this simple handle will make all the difference.
