The first step is to wash the eggs well, I left them in water for half an hour, then I put them to dry but when they were still wet I removed the cloth inside.
El primer paso es lavar bien los huevos, yo los dejé en agua una media hora, después los puse a secar pero cuando todavía estaban húmedos les quité la tela que llevan por dentro.

Think about your design first to know what colors to use. For the base I used cardboard lined with black cardboard.
Piensa en tu diseño primero para saber qué colores vas a usar. Para la base usé un cartón forrado con cartulina negra.

Pour white glue and spread it with a brush, put a piece of shell and with two sticks squeeze to break it. Keep putting and breaking, they break directly on top of the drawing to go faster.
Echa cola blanca y esparcela con un pincel, pon un trozo de cáscara y con dos palos aprieta para romperla. Sigue poniendo y rompiendo, se rompen directamente encima del dibujo para ir más rápido.
