Make a gorgeous Dragon's Egg

Step 4Draw hot melt features on the egg

Draw hot melt features on the egg
If you were making a regular painted egg, at this point, you would just start painting. However, this is Instructables and this is an Instructable on to make a Dragon's Egg.

So, instead of painting the egg right away, draw some features on it with the hot melt glue gun. Of course you can do any pattern you like. In fact variety and invention is the key to making your dragon's egg a real original. (As you can see one of the comments is that you could also make an Alien's Egg, now how cool would that be... mmm might try that ).

But in case you want to practice before you branch out, here's how I did it.

First: I drew loops round the upper half of the egg, while rotating it.

Second: I joined the tops of these loops to the top tip of the egg with more or less straight lines

Third: I joined the bottom of each of the loops to the bottom tip of the egg (right by the cocktail stick) with wavy lines.
