Confetti eggs (aka Cascarones) are like mini piñatas for your head. Traditionally, hollowed out eggs are broken over the head of a friend, showering them with confetti… and supposedly good luck.
Party Rules
Hide your confetti eggs as you would normal eggs, and let your friends go hunting for them.
Once everyone has collected the eggs, the *kindly* smashing upon heads begins.
No throwing eggs! Proper egg-smashing etiquette requires your hand to come in contact with the other person’s head so that you aren’t hitting anyone too hard or poking anyone’s eyes out.
The lucky winner who gets the glitter egg smashed on their head goes home with the grand prize of the day.
How to Make Confetti Eggs:
Using your sewing pin, poke a single, small hole at the top an egg. Open up a larger hole at the bottom of the larger part of an egg.
Let the egg drain out of the larger hole into a bowl, blowing the residue out through the small pin hole in the top of the egg if you need to encourage the yolk out a little more quickly.
Rinse the egg shell (you can add a little bleach to get rid of the egg smell) and allow it to dry.
Use dye (or vinegar and food colouring) to colour the eggshell and allow it to dry thoroughly.
Fill the egg about halfway with confetti (or whatever you decide to put inside).
Cut a piece of tissue paper slightly larger in size than the egg’s hole. Glue the paper to the edges of the hole.
Voila – your eggs are filled. You are ready to party!
