How to make giant Easter eggs in 6 easy steps. This video is a step by step tutorial on making giant eggs. This is a project we made a while back. We built 10 giant eggs for a shopping mall decoration on Easter. Fallowing the steps you can make giant eggs yourself. We used regular insulation polystyrene for creating 1 meter high eggs. We used a driller powered lathe to speed up the process. I know it looks like fun but it can be dangerous so be very very careful!
Step 1
Draw the giant egg at 1/10 scale. First of all you should know how to draw an egg. We're usually using circles to draw the giant eggs.
Step 2
Now you need to use your polystyrene thickness on your scale drawing of the giant eggs. This way you'll be able to find the diameters of the circles you'll be cutting later out of insulation polystyrene.
Step 3
Cut the circles. We used a jig saw for cutting the circles. I found a special long blade for cutting polystyrene. You can cut some of the smaller circles out of the bigger ones, so the egg is almost empty on the inside and also very light.
Step 4
Glue the circles together in the right order. We used regular polyurethane foam as a glue because it's light and has a great bond. At this point you should have a rough giant egg.
Step 5
Build a lathe. You can finish the egg by hand using a wire brush or you can improvise a lathe like we did. The lathe is actually made of a long screw that goes through the rough egg and two polywood circles. The whole lathe is powered by a driller.
Step 6
Finish the egg. The idea is to cut out the corners of the rough egg and make it smooth and round using your drill "lathe". We used a saw blade at first for taking out bigger pieces and then moved to smoother and smoother sandpaper. Be very careful when using the lathe. Although it looks easy enough it can be very dangerous.

There you go. You should have now a giant egg. Imagine making 10 giant eggs. We were covered in styrofoam beads at the end.
