We have come to the most interesting step. We will need the shells of four or five eggs. It should be well dried, it is advisable to remove the inner film.Apply glue to a small area of the frame, take a piece of eggshell, apply it to the frame and gently press it with your finger. At the same time, the shell cracks, taking on the appearance of a mosaic.
