Your all familiar with those plastic eggs that come around this time of the year for Easter. I always had Egg hunts in the backyard when my kids where young. That was so much fun hiding the eggs, then watching them running back and forth all over the yard looking for that one egg. I always had that one egg…the big prize egg! Inside I tucked a bill inside and some special surprises!So thinking of the golden eggs…why not make your own. I took the plastic eggs outside to spray….
Yes, those plastic eggs you can purchase at the dollar store…a whole bag for a dollar! To make some really sparkly golden eggs….I used Rustoleum Mirror Effect
