Instructions:
If you don't have a dollar store nearby, you can go to any craft store and pick up any egg-shaped material.
I have found them in both paper mache and a heavier styrofoam material.
To begin, take a small piece of floral wire and insert it into the bottom of your egg to use as a handle.
Give the egg a nice coat of Mod Podge.
Sprinkle glitter all of the egg until it is well covered.
After the first layer is dry, apply a second layer of Mod Podge on top of the first and cover again with glitter.
It looks messy and not so pretty at first, but once it dries, you will be happy with a second coat!
Use a block of floral foam to hold the eggs during the drying process. You don't want an egg with a flat side!
I had a little after-school helper to apply the glitter. Although I think he got more on the floor than on the egg, that's what vacuums are for, right?
Next, take a few scraps of burlap and cut them down to fit around the egg. Yes, literally scraps...you don't need much!
Next, cut a little oval, about 1 inch, out of green burlap.
Apply a dot of hot glue in the middle (only halfway) and pinch.
TIP: use a low-heat glue gun. It will really hurt if you do this with a high-heat glue gun!
Wrap the egg with a colored twine and make some loops.
Then glue on leaves, twine, a paper flower, and maybe some bling.
If you don't have paper flowers, you can use artificial flowers, dried flowers, or even a ribbon flower. Be creative and use what you already have!
This Easter decor is so fun to make and the Easter eggs look fabulous in a planter as a centerpiece.
