Plastic Fake-out Blue Speckled Easter Eggs

What you need
Plastic Easter Eggs with the tiny holes at the bottom (almost all plastic eggs have these)
Styrofoam
Toothpicks
Satin "Aqua" Rust-oleum Spray paint
Krylon Satin "Catalina Mist" spray paint
Copper or Dark Brown acrylic paint
Tiny paint brush

Directions
1. Stand up your toothpicks in sets of two all over your piece of styrofoam. Now set an egg on each set of toothpicks. This way all of your Easter eggs are standing upright and you can spray paint them evenly without touching them. 

2. Lightly spray the "aqua" spray paint all over the eggs. Let dry. 

3. Go over the eggs with a gentle coat of "Carolina Mist" spray paint and let dry again.

4. Now touch up all over the egg and remaining spots with "Aqua" color once again and let dry.

5. Using a tiny paint brush gently flick bronze paint on the egg or dot little specks all over the egg so it looks random.
