Then you cover over this with a layer of glue, let dry, and then cover with another layer of glue.

To do you just melt some wax, and make sure that this is out of the reach of the children if they are helping you because it will be very hot. Then you want to dip each of the eggs in a bit, let dry, and then paint over.
