Explanation

---

I am going to share with you how to make a turtle craft using discarded eggshells. Without further delay, let's get started!

---

🐢 Step I

First, I take a small piece of a discarded eggshell and clean it thoroughly using water and detergent. Now, I gather the necessary materials.

---

🐢 Step II

^{Using white color in the eggshell}

Next, I use acrylic paint to color the top part of the eggshell white. Using a brush, I carefully apply the white color over the surface.

---

🐢 Step III

Now, I take white clay and mold it into several small pieces. One of them is slightly bigger, while the rest are smaller. I apply glue to one side of the painted eggshell and attach the larger clay mold first. Then, I gradually attach the smaller molds around the eggshell. As you can see, the front part is slightly larger, and the back parts are smaller.

---

🐢 Step IV

Now, I take green paint with a brush and start painting the upper part of the eggshell green. Once the entire surface is painted, I lightly apply a softer green shade to the small clay molds on the sides.

---

🐢 Step V

On the dark green upper part, I use black paint and a brush to create polygonal shapes for a beautiful design.

---

🐢 Step VI

Next, on the slightly larger front mold, I use black paint to draw the turtle's mouth. Then, I draw two eyes on either side and add small white dots inside them to create a realistic eye effect. Finally, I add tiny black dots over the body and on the small molds around it.

---

🐢 Step VII

The painting is complete! As you can see, I have created a turtle craft. The front part represents the turtle's face, while the small molds around the body represent its legs.

---

🐢 Step VIII

	Using Tag

	Slefie with my work

Now, I capture photographs of my handmade green turtle craft with a tag. Then, as proof, I take a selfie with my craft.
