00:00:03.389 --> 00:00:07.328 
From fragile eggshells, teacher Nguyen
Thanh Tam, 70 years old, living in Go 

00:00:07.328 --> 00:00:11.268 
Vap district, Ho Chi Minh City, has
created many Christmas models such as 

00:00:11.268 --> 00:00:13.389 
stone shops, Santa Claus, and a rickshaw. 

00:00:13.669 --> 00:00:17.024 
These models come in all shapes and
sizes and are meticulously crafted by 

00:00:17.024 --> 00:00:19.089 
him as a hobby in his late teens. 

00:00:19.623 --> 00:00:24.012 
That year there was a student, he
studied 8th grade, the program of 

00:00:24.012 --> 00:00:25.363 
Mr. Van 8th grade. 

00:00:25.803 --> 00:00:29.743 
Well in his article, he talks about the
image of Santa Claus. 

00:00:30.123 --> 00:00:33.903 
So for the illustration, I made
Santa giving eggshells. 

00:00:34.303 --> 00:00:38.663 
And from then on, after I became Santa
Claus, I did other works. 

00:00:38.663 --> 00:00:43.663 
And I did it all, then I concluded that
the eggshell can make any shape. 

00:00:44.463 --> 00:00:46.143 
All in all it's about 4 steps. 

00:00:46.143 --> 00:00:48.563 
That is, the first step is to know how to choose the egg. 

00:00:48.823 --> 00:00:52.263 
For example, to make Santa Claus, the
egg must be plump and round. 

00:00:52.703 --> 00:00:55.643 
And especially his belly must be a
little big, quietly acting like Santa Claus. 

00:00:56.183 --> 00:00:59.383 
As for the face projection, if we
make it with two eggshells, 

00:00:59.763 --> 00:01:03.423 
then we must have 2 egg shells that are
in harmony with each other. 

00:01:03.423 --> 00:01:07.983 
When we put the two eggshells together,
we see the shape of Santa Claus. 

00:01:08.823 --> 00:01:11.283 
And the step that assembles the eggshell, 

00:01:12.123 --> 00:01:15.283 
The most important thing in making
eggshells is knowing how to decorate them. 

00:01:16.143 --> 00:01:21.703 
And especially as we already know, the
eyes are attractive and captivating. 

00:01:22.432 --> 00:01:26.737 
To create a product that truly embodies
the spirit of the original, the creator 

00:01:26.737 --> 00:01:30.427 
must be really meticulous and attentive
to every detail, knowing how to 

00:01:30.427 --> 00:01:32.272 
emphasize special points to attract viewers. 

00:01:32.572 --> 00:01:37.582 
It is known that in Mr. Tam's Santa
Claus collection, the largest figure is 

00:01:37.582 --> 00:01:42.592 
30cm made from bird eggshells and the
smallest is 3cm made from sparrow eggshells. 

00:01:43.373 --> 00:01:46.864 
This is a picture of the world's
smallest Santa Claus made 

00:01:46.864 --> 00:01:48.133 
from a split eggshell. 

00:01:48.993 --> 00:01:52.053 
And this is the world's biggest Santa
Claus because it is made of an ostrich egg. 

00:01:52.833 --> 00:01:54.613 
Has a very big belly, very good. 

00:01:55.153 --> 00:01:57.973 
And Santa's sack is made of goose eggs. 

00:01:58.873 --> 00:02:00.753 
And the head too, is made of goose eggs. 

00:02:01.233 --> 00:02:04.653 
Actually we have to find the eggs that
fit together to form the character. 

00:02:04.653 --> 00:02:10.413 
And here is the image of Santa Claus
according to the model we often see. 

00:02:10.413 --> 00:02:13.713 
in the movie or the picture book. 

00:02:14.255 --> 00:02:18.655 
Mr. Tam shared that on the occasion of
Tet 2025, he will launch a new 

00:02:18.655 --> 00:02:20.415 
collection to welcome the new year. 

00:02:20.715 --> 00:02:25.195 
He also cherishes the dream that his
works of art will set world records. 

00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:28.275 
At the same time, I want this subject
to spread more widely to young people.
