Second option
A more interesting way of making painting is done with a writing - a special tool for applying wax drawings. It can be purchased in stores for creativity or try to do it yourself. Read more View Writing in the photo below:
Writing has a nozzle with a spout that is attached to a wooden handle. The nozzle is laid in the nozzle, which is melted on a candle to a liquid state, and then applied to the surface of the egg.
This tool is very convenient, as the wax leaks constantly, evenly, which allows you to carry out straight, continuous lines.
The patterns of drawings or patterns can be simple, especially if there are no drawing skills. Perhaps it is worth making an inscription, for example, the names of those people who will be given eggs. You can use ready-made templates and make a preliminary drawing with a pencil.
