They are other choices besides real eggs for these so they are safe for decorations year after year.  As long as they are not real eggs and are stored carefully they should last for years.   See below a list of eggs that can be used for these DIY Glitter Eggs.

 

What Eggs to use for these Glitter Eggs:

We used hardboiled eggs for this craft but you could use any of the following.

 

Are Glitter Eggs edible:

We don’t have an issue eating these eggs but they need to be peeled and washed very well.  Mod podge is not considered food-safe but it is non-toxic so it can be used on children’s toys.  But glitter should never be ingested.

NOTE: The alternative is to make DIY Edible Glitter Eggs.  Paint the eggs with the Bakers Edible Glue and sprinkle with Edible Glitter.
