No matter whether you want to turn your Styrofoam egg into a Santa Claus, a reindeer or an egg gift - first sketch your idea on a sheet of paper. Use the Paper. Strich-Ex pen to paint your figure on the egg. This pen is Ink filled with a self-erasing one, so that the drawn contours disappear without a trace later.
