That's what you do, with a needle you bore a hole into each end and press your lips over one side and blow, it's not easy but it works

I used a large needle or a small nail to poke a hole on the top and bottom. It's a little hard so be careful. All you need is a hole about 1/8 of an inch or a bit bigger. It's not going to be perfect so it doesn't really matter. Once you got the hole, blow in it to push out the stuff. You can plug the hole later with wax. You can use candle wax or beeswax that comes in a sheet. I have tried different ways of doing it. My wife was pretty good with the candle and I prefer the beeswax because my holes were always a bit larger than hers and it can cover more. Use a lighter to smoothen it out. Some of our friends are using clay or plasticine to cover the holes. It doesn't matter what you use to plug it if you are going to paint it.This is how we used to do it when the kids were younger. I hope this info helps. It's going to be hard at first, then you'll get the hang of it later. Good luck.

All you need to do is stick a needle, or a straight pin in the bottom of the egg, make a very small hole. You may have to wiggle the pin around alittle bit. THen make another tiny hole in the top of the egg. Blow into the smallest hole - and the "crappy" stuff will flow right out!

Take a thumbtack and poke a small hole in the top and bottom of the egg then blow into the smallest hole. If the stuff doesn't come out, then use a needle or something long and skinny stick it in one of the holes and scramble it up until it can be blown out.

do like everyone else said, hole in both in blah blah blah..Then once all the stuff is drained out, you have to let them dry out probably two days or so. If you want to put stuff inside the egg, like confetti, you have to make one of the holes bigger so you can fit the confetti (or whatever) inside. After you have all the stuff you want inside use clear tape to cover the whole back up..Now you can smash the eggs all over peoples heads. Have fun

Use a push pin and poke a hole in both ends, then blow through one end and the egg will come out of the other. It takes a while, but it works.

The best way I've heard to do it, is to take a sewing needle (one about 2 mm in diameter, so pretty thick) and gently press it into the opposite ends of the egg. Then it's pretty much sit there and blow it all out with your mouth.

Ok, first of all...the eggs get hard boiled. I have never heard of them being drained, which makes no sense because draining the eggs would make the break easliy. What you should do is boil them. That way they can be painted and wont break as easy. Good Luck!

make 2 small holes in opposite sides of the egg.. get yourself a bowl and then over it.. blow gently through one of the holes to force the "goup" out the bottom and into the bowl...
