Gather your supplies.<\/p>\n<p>2. If using PVA glue, squirt a small amount in a plastic container or bowl. Add about a tablespoon of water and mix to thin slightly.<\/p>\n<p>3. Tear up tissue into small pieces about the size of a large coin. If you have patterned paper, try to tear around each motif.<\/p>\n<p>4. Apply a very thin layer of glue to half the egg.<\/p>\n<p>5. Place the pieces of tissue onto the glued surface pressing down lightly.<\/p>\n<p>6.
