Empty yolk, and let dry.
The shells are ready to fill.
Step 1
Punch a small hole at the top of egg. Empty yolk out and rinse. Let egg shells dry.
The eggs can be filled with anything including confetti or candy. I enjoy putting something special inside and giving them out.
Step 2
Slip a treat of your choice into the egg.
I frayed the circles to make it easier to glue on. Just paper will work, but you may use cardstock or thin cardboard for durability.
Glue paper circles on to cap the egg's hole.
