Overall Shopping List Notes Many of the items listed may also be available at crafts stores. You may want to check there first. Some of our projects call for blown-out eggs. To blow out eggs, gently pierce both ends of a raw egg with a utility knife, and twirl knife to widen one hole slightly. Straighten a paper clip, and poke it through the larger hole to pierce and stir the yolk. Hold the egg, larger hole down, over a bowl, and gently blow the contents out with a rubber ear syringe. Preblown eggs are also available from Lavender Valley Farm lavendervalleyfarm.com
