Also used: 3” wooden egg, mod podge, staple gun, vase, Forsythia and cherry blossom stems (or trim off real branches and force to bloom inside), squirt bottle, dowel, brown paint and your imagination!

Instructions:

1. Cut slits in paper leaving about ¾” strip uncut (that goes on the “fattest” part of the egg).
2. Lightly spritz back side of paper with water to make it easier to mold paper to egg shape.
3. Use mod podge to adhere paper to egg.
4. Have fun with ribbon (hint: use the stitching that’s already in the ribbon to gather), rhinestones and brads to decorate eggs.
5. Small paper flowers: Cut a variety of 1” x 6” paper strips. Lightly spritz each strip with water, roll up or fold up into flower shape. Use glue gun (liquid glue or glue dot) to keep flower together and adhere to egg.
6. Arrange stems in metal vase, add eggs and enjoy!
