Fried eggs of air-dry clay

Use a rolling pin to roll out the clay to a thickness of approx. 1 cm.

Now, cut out the shape of your fried egg with a knife, either freehand or by using a template. Optionally, you can smooth the edge with water for a neat finish.

Use a real egg to press down into the clay to create a small hole. This hole will represent the egg yolk.

Let the clay dry.

Once the clay is dry, it is time to paint the hole with yellow paint so that it resembles a yolk.

Let the paint dry, and possibly varnish the clay with a waterproof, clear varnish to give the surface a better water-repellent effect.

Now your clay fried eggs are ready to serve as a lovely decoration on the table and double as egg cups for many delightful mornings. The sisters kindly remind that the clay does not tolerate too much water. Instead, use a damp cloth if any dirt finds its way onto the fried eggs.
