I always enjoy coming home to see my mom's latest project! Everything she touches, she
makes beautiful! If you're having company for Easter this Sunday and need a centerpiece for the table, this is a wonderful idea!
Materials: Eggs, a needle, watercolor paint, paintbrush, wooden skewers, a block of foam, ribbon, bead clamps for say a necklace, hot glue gun, stickers or jewels for the eggs, a pot, garden gloves, a hand shovel, Miracle Grow's Moisture Control Potting Mix, plantable flowers or herbs, a branch, and some fun lollipops purchased from the Fresh Market
It's a good idea to make the egg ornaments the day before to allow sufficient drying time.
Making the egg ornaments:
1) Take a raw egg and poke a hole at the top and bottom with the needle. Blow out the yoke with your mouth. There is also a kit you can purchase from Williams-Sonoma that can help with this.
2) Place the blunt end of the wooden skewers into the block of foam. Take the empty/blown out eggs and carefully poke the pointy side of the skewer into the hole at the bottom of the egg.
3) Paint the eggs and allow to dry
4) Embellish the eggs to your desire
5) Take the bead clamps and bend out the legs into a star shape. Hot glue these onto the eggs and run a ribbon through the hole.
