Ensure that the edges align with the template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Flip the egg holder onto a board and let it dry for a bit before proceeding. This brief drying time helps prepare the surface for further work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: To prevent the feet from sinking, lightly dry the inside of the egg holder. This step is crucial for ensuring the stability of the piece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: Now attach feet, you have cut out with a cookie cutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 6: Flip the egg holder back up, and now, let\u2019s decorate the egg dish. Cut out enough of the transfer to cover your egg holder completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 7: Carefully place the transfer over the egg holder, making sure the face of the transfer faces downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 8: For an even pattern, place some eggs inside the holder. This will help transfer the pattern evenly onto the clay surface. Ensure that you have enough eggs in each section to cover the holder evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Part 2 How to Make an Egg Holder #pottery #clay #viral #ceramics\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tmjTQLf3ZVY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 9: Using a square piece of sponge, dampen it, making sure it\u2019s not dripping wet. Begin by gently pressing the sponge into the first egg section, ensuring it\u2019s evenly dampened. Avoid brushing the sponge; instead, press it slowly onto the clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 10: Peel off and check that the pattern has transferred onto the clay surface. It should now display your desired design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 11: To finish your egg holder, apply a clear glaze over the top and glaze fire it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy potting!
