1. Wash eggs.
2. Using a sewing needle, gently prick a small hole into each of the egg's two ends. Poke a hole in the yolk (use a thin skewer if necessary).
3. Leaning over a bowl, gently blow into the top hole, expelling the yolk and white out the bottom end, into the bowl.
4. Lay hollow eggs on paper towels to dry.
5. Paint the shells or decorate as you wish.
6. For place cards, letter names on the eggs. If desired, stuff little notes, sayings, or wishes written on strips of paper into the shells.
