The Golden Egg — Harry Potter DIY
е:
I’m a big fan of Harry Potter and have always wanted my own golden egg. For more information about materials and tools you need, keep reading on 😉
Things you need:
Referens photos — Google 😉
Template for the engravings:
Plastic Egg — Mine is ment for candy that is maybe easiest to get a hold of around Easter. If you can find one that stands up, thats even better ^^
Cling wrap
Masking tape
(Cotton if you are doing it like I am)
Measuring tape
Pen/Marker
Cirkle template — if you don’t have one, use some small round object as a guide ^^
Worbla* (When I work on my project I usually just improvise, so I don’t have any exact measurements :/ but I did use about 1 sheet of 75x50cm I think (I had some laying around after a cosplay project ^^’) Worbla does streck quiet a bit, so a small pieces do go a long way after all ^^ But I should probably measure the size of the egg and there after see how much I needed. As you can se in my video I have 2 layers for the three sides and 3 layers at the bottom an 1 at the top. So if you already have the egg at hand, I would maybe cover it in cling-wrap (plastic wrap or what its called xD ) and tape it as I do in the video and draw on the pieces. But then I would gently cut the pieces out and use the cut outs as a pattern to calculate how much worbla I needed ^^)
