TIPS FOR VINEGAR-CARVING
- When covering the egg with the pre-cut insulating tape, use wider stripes first and apply the thinner ones last, as it will be easier to peal them off later.
- Apply the smallest amount possible of super glue at the end of the stripes.
- Use white vinegar (more acid, faster dissolving of the shell) and place somewhere warm
- Take the eggs out of the vinegar with EXTRA care, without applying ANY pressure at all, as they easily brake. Tilt the glass while doing so.
- After a few hours, Rinse the eggs in warm water one time during the dissolving part, to check the status of the shell. If the soft membrane reveals itself when rinsing, then the process is complete.
- Later I found out its best pealing off the tape BEFORE blowing out the egg, because it´s still a bit pressurized and so provides some support to the perforated shell.
- Soak the egg in water for a few hours before blowing it out, as it will empty itself better Instead of soaking the egg in dissolvent, simply leave it to dry. Then gently pull the remaining soft membrane out of the shell. If it does not separate easily from the shell, soak it again in water for a couple of hours and try again.
- Harden the shell with wood glue or mud podge AFTER you spray painted it. The paint sticks better to a raw shell.
- For spraying, use a paper bag and place some crumpled paper at the bottom of it, then put the eggs on top of it. The crumpled paper will keep the eggs in place as you spray.
Enjoy inventing your own egg carving patterns!

Beautiful Egg shell engraving art.
whatever you do, your filming and editing are worth it ...
Very pretty cinematography
What a great idea.Thanks for a inexpensive art form,Eggscellent!I ain’t yolking!
Really cool idea. I have never seen that done before. More importantly though, it was shot so beautifully! It looked very professional. I loved the really up-close shots of the bubbles coming from the eggs when they were in the vinegar. Great job. I subscribed.
Really enjoyed the whole video, will have to give it a crack.
Nice pun
@@lyftedlegend9954 not intended but I’ll take it lol.
You're funny. 😂
I use clear nail polish on the egg after I dye/paint it, then dip it in vinegar. Same idea as the tape, but you can make any shape at all. Your idea for blowing an egg is the best ever!!!!
I thought about using liquid frisket same as used with watercolor, but your idea of using clear nail polish has several benefits over frisket, so long as all the dyeing and painting are done first. I suppose both could be used on a very well planned, complicated, layered design (any of which leaves me out of the competition)!
Wow! Very cool. I just found you and sadden that you only have one video. I hope all is well with you. Please do make more videos when you can.
Thanks… that was a great video… I was searching for away to cut an egg in half. I’m an artist and I’ve been working on placing tiny scenes/objects inside of eggs … I have been doing customized designs that are personal to the recipient… placing these little sculptures/objects/scenes are a bit limited by the size of the opening in the egg and I’d live to be able to cut some eggshells in two to allow more flexibility in design and then reattach the two parts… I mostly finish with a loop at the top so they can be displayed as an ornament of sorts. Some designs are the entire egg with no opening in the shell and some are placed in an decorative holder for display. I hope to see some more if your videos soon and I would love to have suggestions to cut eggs in half… I’ve used a rotary tool but it’s tricky and mostly they crack before cutting is achieved. Thanks … looking forward to your second post
Just beautiful! So imaginative. Thank you for sharing your skills.❤
This was beautifully done. I used to do this a long long time ago, when I was little. Skipping the drain cleaner part, we would just carefully pick the membrane out by hand. Also, we didn't use tape, we would use rubber bands or melted wax.
Realmente hermoso y la descripción del proceso excelente
I’d like to see how it would work with quail eggs, thicker shells. Please do more videos!!!
Amazing production quality and a great explanation.
Looking forward to seeing more! The egg looks very possible to .ake on. my own. Video is very well done! Thank you!
That was very interesting, thank you!
Thank you for the excellent video. Enjoyed the pictures. The activity.
I have tried this eggsperiment on 5 eggs so far.... And they have all failed so far. Can't seem to peel the tape off without breaking the egg shell. Someone in the thread suggested using rubber band but that didn't work either. In the morning they had collapsed down and crushed the egg. I'm not gonna give up
Yes, this step of the process is very delicate! I'm guilty of crushing a few shells as well. 😅 Maybe you can try lightly oiling the eggs before putting the tape on; it might make it easier to peel it off later. I haven't tried or tested this before, though - it's just an idea. 😊 Good luck!
Love and support from Algeria 🇩🇿
This was such a beautiful video to present your technique. I just blew out 21 of my chicken's eggs and I am excited to see if this works on already hollow eggs! Egg-cited to find new things to do with all these eggs!
Bellissima ...idea bellissima ...uova delicatissime e STUPENDE!
Looks cool. Thanks for the video.
Wow beautiful. Lot of time and patience.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! That was a brilliant tutorial! 👍🏻😘
Thank you! :)
Beautifully captured!
Just amazing!
Great montage!
Very nice definitely going to try
Nice video and tutorial! Thanks!
This is totally F.A.Y.N. project :) Great job, Grega, with the eggs and a really beautifully made video. Thank you for your passionate faith in high quality! Looking forward to the next #eggsperiment !
Yeeeah, thanks for noticing!! :D :D
We need more videos like this
こういう動画を探していました！ 私は2羽の鶏を飼っていて、成長の記念に卵を使って何か作品をつくりたいと思っていました。 ありがとうございます！！
I loved absolutely everything in your video! I guess you could also post some video making tutorials. Very professional and a pleasure to look at. Already subscribed. Hoping to watch more of your videos soon.
Wow that was awsome! Im going to do this for Easter, just in time!!. Great video! Best of luck on your channel!. I want to see more.
Muy bonito trabajo
Love it! Thank you :)
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL JUST FOUND IT,..... I carve emu eggs into trinket boxes I just finished making a beautiful gorgeous stunning jewelry box out of an ostrich egg wish I could show you. Thank you Namaste 🙏
Gr8 idea. Where do you buy ostrich eggs?
Gorgeous!
Eggcellent work indeed sir. Thank you so much for making and sharing this video :) my best wishes and prayers.
Very cool
Have a good luck with your next projects whatever it will be 💮
WOW and just WOW
Beatifull
Amazing videography.
Hope you continue making these! This is so beautifully shot. Can you make victorian lace eggs?
Tnx! Will try some day yes. :D
wow that?? is soo wonderful & is soo beautiful
Very artistic video!
I would love to see this process with an Ostrich egg.
Master of master, thank you so much, super great jog bro thanks for sharing bestw regardes from Mexico
Thanks bola! :)
Very interesting and beautifully produced. One suggestion: try Floral spray paint versus enamel.
Thanks, will take a look into it! :)
Thank you for the video!! It was so charming... Just wow :)
Great video very clever . 😀
Ciao! Innanzi tutto I miei complimenti, un tutorial bellissimo. Vorrei chiederti che tipo di nastro usi per modellare l'uovo, poiché io ho usato il nastro adesivo e alla fine del lavoro, quando con molta cura l'ho tolto, mi si è purtroppo l'uovo. Ho usato narro isolante normale, ma è troppo resistente e non sono riuscito a toglierlo. Grazie mille.
Bravo
What a lovely tutorial! I'm curious if you have tried this with an ostrich egg?
I think using portraits of people would be amazing. Sure it has been suggested before.
interesting idea, I'm beginner ostrich egg carver - so can I use this techniques for ostrich eggshell?
Don´t know, probably yes, I imagine the shell is made from similar chemical compositions? :) Try it out and do let us know! :D
I'm not sure, But if vinegar doesn't work I heard acid does, so you can give that a go incase it doesn't, since ostrich shells are much harder than the average egg
i made it by this method thenk you
This is great, and the quality of this video and artistic performance is really exquisite. So sorry you made only one, hope you're ok and that you will carry on with eggsperiments :))!
That's pretty cool and you did a superb job shooting and editing your video.♥️ I was all game for trying this until it was revealed drain cleaner was involved. LOL! I have no idea but I'm just curious... would it have made a difference (other than being less messy) if you'd blown out the egg leaving only the shell before you started? Thanks for sharing! 😊
Tnx! :) Yes, if you blow out the Egg before taping it the shell tends to brake. The egg white serves as support. Drain cleaner dissolves the membrane. You can skip this step though and just pull out the membrane after blowing out the egg, but it's more risky. ;) Please support my channel! ♥> www.buymeacoffee.com/theeggsperiment
Loved ur video. I was hoping for more videos to check out. But wasn’t any. Maybe there will b more soon.
Eggceptional video!
No more videos? It was beautiful! Want to see more!
Awesome👍😍😍
Wow
🥚quisite!
Funny project :)
Bellooo
Oh cool ty
Sorry, tried to find this in the comments, but couldn't search comments only... "because it´s still a bit pressurized " are you saying the inner egg film is pressurized and is needed to hold up the egg or to leave the tape on until you remove the insides?
To bad you didn’t make some new videos, i bet you could go very far in growing the channel 💚💚💚💚
That was wild
Very cool how many did you break taken? That tape off looks perilous
where can i find the tape
Great video! What editing software do you use?
Tnx. :) Software is Adobe Premiere Pro.
that was really cool. I have been doing Ukrainian easter eggs and came across carving them but now because of my medicine
What does the drain cleaner do?
😊Would this work on emu eggs
why dont you try using vinyl cutouts from a cricut vinyl cutting machine ? soak in vinegar to etch a design. :)
What was that in the orange plastic bottle?
Can you do some egg decorations with fake eggs, like styrofoam eggs or hard plastic eggs or cardboard eggs?
A tulip design.
Will there be more videos?
I love the idea. tested twice. unfortunately does not work. the peel becomes quite soft in vinegar. then when I'll put the eggs in the other liquid. the sewage cleaner, nothing happens. I have to cut with a knife to remove the membrane. had to lie there for 24 h. need help. so eager to succeed.
Hey Josefin! Tnx for commenting and trying. :) So, when cutting the tape, make sure the stripes ar not too thin, at least 4mm wide and tape those thicker ones first, then everything below 4mm last. It will be easier to peal the thinner ones off first without breaking the shell and the thicker ones last. Do not leave the eggs in vinegar for too long, as the vinegar starts to disintegrate the shell from inside out and it becomes realy soft and cracky. Leave them in vinegar just so the exposed shell melts away. In my case it was betwen 8 - 12h in 11% acid Vinegar and room temperature. You can try to peal the tape off BEFORE you empty the egg, as the white and yolk offer some additional suport to the perforated shell. You can place the egg in water for a couple of hours after the vinegar part, as it will bloat the membrane a bit and again offering some more support to the shell. As for the drain cleaner, I had to try out at least 4 diferent before one actualy started to work. So, a bit of expirimenting there. Don´t forget to be extra gentle, careful and patient! I hope this helps and please let me know how it went! :D Good luck!
One and only
Piękne w jakim roztworze jest zanurzone dziękuję za odpowiedź
Why can’t I get my tape to stay on as when I soaked it in the vinegar it came off 😢
When you will share next video
This is damn cool!!! Does it work with ostrich eggs?
Buenos días en edpañol
Keep working
How many omelets did you eat in those two weeks?
Zero, they were too acidy. :P
Can you still eat the egg? Wouldn't wanna waste the egg...
Looks nice. Not so simple. The really clever part was using the balloon the empty the yolk and white contents of the egg.
th fist coment hello
Was looking forward to some more videos ...but... what happened...?
Can't live on likes only, unfortunately. ;)
you can try this with beeswax instead of tape.
I tried it with regular wax, it's a nice efect, but its hard to get the wax of later! :D
@@theeggsperiment7710 you can melt it over candle. Check Ukrainian pysanka eggs, they use wax
Not even in the phantom of the opera i see so much dramatic scenes
Hahaha true! :D
2050 egg should look like this
Hahaha, and it will! :D
I'm surprised your spoons were not black... Lol
