The A-Team Egg - An easter egg playing The A-Team title melody if you shake it!

The A-Team Egg ist an Easteregg that plays the title melody of the A-Team each time you shake it. I made it as an easter present for my brother who is a big fan of The A-Team. But if you dont like the A-Team, you can change the melody and decoration to make it a fan-egg of your sisters favorite rock band. It can easily be reprogrammed and customized.

Get over to Step 1 to start making it! Dont forget to comment and rate this project.

I cant tell which is more baddass, that Egg or Mr T himself?

Nice! This will let me use up some AAA battery holders (I accidentally ordered AAA's on fleabay. This might also allow for using a smaller egg shell..)

EGGcellent! :D You should make a Mr. T stencil so you can use spray paint and paint Mr. T on all the eggs! :D
