How to Hollow out a Real Egg

This tutorial will show you how to remove the contents of an egg while preserving the whole shell. This is especially useful when making decorative eggs or Easter Eggs that you wish to keep for many years. This is a great project to involve the kids in--with a little bit of care, even youngsters can get the hang of it.

@mdotwilightluver556 well the video was all done real time and from poking the hole to being done, even with all my talking, it was 3 and a half minutes. blowing the insides out probably takes 30 seconds or so. it all depends how big the bottom hole is. if its not working for you, make the hole a tiiiiiny bit bigger and you should be good.

@Souperwoman33 Haha I assume I will get a few points off for having holes in them, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Also quick question. I remember doing this a few years ago after my friend gave me a decorated hollowed out egg, and it took me forever. How long does it usually take?

@mdotwilightluver556 LUCKY! when i had to do the egg drop for school,we couldn't alter the egg at all (so no hollow egg for me-boo!). GOOD LUCK!!!

THANK YOU! I am using this for my science lab. We have to drop an egg from the second story of our school and it can't break. If it does we get a lower grade. This is no where in rules so I am using it! THANKS!

@silv1963 You're very welcome! My mother had me doing these by the age of 6 or 7. With a little practice, it's a cinch!

Thank you, this was useful for my 9 year old, who has been wanting to hollow out an egg for some time. Without your video, I would not have had a clue where to start.
