Glue or Tape: Assembling Easter Egg Shakers

Submitted by Kristin Lukow, Nebraska

Idea posted 2003-06-13

Q: I bought lots of plastic eggs two years ago and may just finally make them into shakers. Those of you who have done this, what kind of glue did you use? Will my hot glue gun do a good enough job to keep sweet little fingers from prying the eggs apart and scattering the contents?! Or do I need epoxy or Super Glue?

A: I don't use glue, I use electrical tape. It comes in lots of bright colors and makes a nice stripe around the egg. This is so much less time consuming and fun for the kids!
