Cascarones is a big thing for the Hispanics for Easter time, and it's so much fun to see kids to adults running around trying to get each other. I will show you how to make them in bit but in the meantime here is a link about the history of Cascarones:
Cascarones known as confetti eggs are filled with confetti or unless you are like some people I know they filled their eggs up with flour or baby powder.
When I made my eggs I use confetti that I had saved from last year..so now let's get started first saved however many dozen you like. Of course when you start saving them you have to make a hole in the top of the egg enough to get the egg out and than clean the shall and let them dry inside. 
Once dry get your maratrials, you will need your dye plus whatever else you need on the back of the box, also tissue paper, confetti eggs or whatever you want to put in eggs, scissors, and a glue stick.
Follow the steps on your dye box
I need six cups with water and vingaer for certain colors, and put each color tablet in each cup
Once colors tablets were dissolve you are ready to start
Than when the eggs were done I would put them on the back of the carton face down so they could dry
When they were done drying I would put them back in the carton the right way, and let the inside dry overnight.
Next morning I got my confetti, tissue paper, scissor, and glue stick
The tissue need to be cut into nice size squares to cover your hole
After gathering your materials start putting your confetti inside the eggs, once you are done putting your confetti inside. Next grab your glue stick and rub the glue around the hole and cover it with a piece a tissue. 
Now that your eggs are cover you now have Cascarones and they are ready to go!! Happy Easter and hope you have fun!!
