Decor for the Twelfth Night

The decoration for that day can not be other than the Three Wise Men, so we suggest you to make the Magi with a foamy of bright colours and glitter. To make the head use an empty egg. To do that, first wash very well the egg, and then make a small hole on each side of it, then blows through one of the holes to drain the yolk and white.

Leave it on for a few minutes,...
