Keeping in mind I wanted to make this wreath for my front door, I needed to waterproof these beauties! My solution was to grab some Annie Sloan Clear Wax. I rubbed in a light coat of wax on each egg.
Now, just like with painting furniture and using wax, the wax enhances the color of the dye and will darken it slightly.
For example, in the picture below the egg on the left has been waxed and the one on the right is without. It’s a slight difference but something to note. Also, the more you “polish” the more sheen the wax will give you. It all depends on the look you’re after!

I am curious about the salt dough I’m going to try some projects. But I have only sea salt how will that work or should I wait and get the regular salt? I’m so glad I found your recipe also the clay so I’m very excited to get started thank you for keeping me busy for quite a few days happy smiles!!!
Sandra,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy you found my blog and this recipe! I believe you could use sea salt as long as it’s not course ground salt. Give it a go. I haven’t tried it personally, but that’s how we learn right? Let me know how it turns out and HAVE FUN!! Hugs.
XO,
