How to do it
1. Place a lightly pressed leaf onto the egg. Put the egg inside a nylon stocking and tie a tight knot. You may also tie a piece of string or rubber band around the egg to which will add a batik effect to the egg. NB: you may use the coarse ribbed edge of the stocking for making a pattern.
2. Mix A-color allround medium glue lacquer and Art Aqua watercolour paint in the ratio 1 to 1.
3. Apply the mixture onto the wrapped egg. Use a piece of kitchen roll for dabbing off the excess paint. NB: you may dab on another different colour as well. Let the egg dry.
4. Remove the egg and the leaf by cutting open the nylon stocking.
5. Tie a paper string waistband around the egg's circumference, finishing with a bow.
