I will teaching you how to make Cascarones. They are a Mexican tradition used for Easter, Cinco de Mayo and other celebrations. It is an egg shell filled with confetti used to crack over someone’s head and shower them with the confetti inside. It might sound strange, but it’s actually really fun. Children and adults can both enjoy running around and smashing eggs on their friends’ or family’s heads.

Materials:

Dozen egg shells

Paper confetti

Glue

Tissue paper cut into squares

Paint/egg dying kit

 

Step 1:

When you have your eggs poke a hole on top of your egg. Make sure the hole is big enough to drained out the yolk and egg whites. Once it’s drained out wash the leftovers inside with drops of water to clean out.

Step 2:

When you have your clean eggs begin painting or dying your eggs in whatever color you choose. This step is optional. Make sure eggs are complete and dry.

Step 3:

Once the eggs are decorated as you wanted them to be start stuffing the pieces of confetti in the hole of the egg.

Step 4:

When all the eggs are stuffed and ready to be used, place glue around the hole and place one square sheet of tissue paper on top of the hole.

YOU ARE DONE and ready to get crackin’ !!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure you crack it with the hole placing on their heads so it won’t hurt.

For my 20% project I wanted to do something that I would have fun doing and continue doing it in the future. I feel that I am not creative so I felt if I learned a skill I can open a more creative side of myself. I was really inspired by seeing pictures on Tumblr of different clothing with some unique embroidery outline designs and I started to think I should try something like that.

I am dedicated to learn the basics of sewing but I will eventually want to do hand stitches on some of my own clothing. I will be posting pictures and time-lapse of myself doing these designs. I also plan to come up with new designs everyday to sew on my clothing.

I’m going to have a notebook that will have all my sketches and notes that I will be taking from the sources that are teaching me. There will be pictures of these sketches with the final design next to it.

I’m not into any sports or have a unique hobby so I believe this will be a really good thing to learn how to do. It will definitely be a stress reliever for me and something I can fall back to in the future. I’m not sure I will pursue a career or something serious but it will be a skill I can brag about.
