Heart Shaped Eggs

Making Heart Shaped Eggs are a nifty and a creative way to show your love to your family. Making your heart shaped eggs is pretty easy to do.

What you will need for this project is:

Eggs

Milk carton or any juice carton or a thick card stock (cut open, washed well and dried). Note your paper needs to be thick. Cindy and I tried a few different paper types and they did not do so well. Thicker is better in getting the heart shape you want.

Chopsticks (you will want them round and thick).

Rubber Bands

First Step: Make your hard boiled eggs. Make as much as you would like.

Second Step: While your eggs are cooking you will want to cut out your milk carton and fold it in half lengthwise. If you do not have a milk carton I would use a very thick card stock. You will want to cut it at least 3inch wide and 8 to 9 inches long

Third Step: While your eggs are still warm, you will want to peel your eggs and put them on your folded paper. Make sure the egg is freshly boiled and still warm. Otherwise the egg might not hold it shape and break from the pressure. also make sure eggs are not to sof.t when cutting they may fall apart.

Fourth Step: Place your chopstick on the center of the egg, push chopstick down softly on top of egg, and put your rubber band on both ends of your chopstick ( Do not want to break egg when pushing down. It is only to help secure chopstick into place).

Please note that this was one of our first attempts on making heart shape eggs. We did not use thick enough paper. Cindy and I found out that the key to this is how thick your paper is.

Fifth Step: once you are done with putting your eggs in the milk carton you will want to leave them for at least 10 minutes. (Cindy and I found out that if you put them in the fridge for 20 minutes it gives you a better result).

Sixth Step: Once your eggs have been able to set, you will want to take the chopsticks off and cut your eggs in half.

 

Every Pair of eggs are very unique, so no other pair of eggs will be alike. Like I said this was pretty easy to do. This would be fun to do for any party you are having, or just to serve to your family. Your Kids will be sure to eat them up!!. You can also spice them up by adding some salt and pepper or making deviled eggs with them.
