Easter
Egg Table Decorations

Add a little elegance
and color to your dining table with these three easy Easter projects. Gather a few Easter eggs, some Styrofoam shapes,
and a bag of sheet moss and you will be ready to start your project.
Materials
14” Styrofoam
wreath
4” x 9” Styrofoam
cone (topiary)
4” Styrofoam
half ball (candleholder)
Hot glue gun and glue
sticks
Decorated Easter eggs
(with hard foam centers)
Sheet moss
Wooden Stick
(topiary)
Metal bucket
(topiary)
Instructions

- Cut the Easter eggs in half with a band
saw. If you do not have a band
saw you can use a serrated knife. Cut some of the eggs in half
lengthwise and some crosswise. You will need approximately 32 egg halves
for the wreath.

- Hot glue egg halves onto the foam wreath. They
will adhere better if you put the hot glue on the back of the egg and
then stick the egg onto the wreath. Arrange the eggs in random patterns and
directions over the top and sides of the wreath.

- Hot glue moss to the wreath between the eggs.
After the glue is dry, use your finger to press the moss away from the
eggs so that more of each egg is exposed. Hint: the moss will be easier to work with if you spray it
with water before to start. This
will soften it and make it more pliable.

- Add a ribbon to the back of the wreath if you
want to hang it or make it the centerpiece for your table by placing a
glass candle holder in the center of the wreath.

For the candleholder
- Press a candle into the center top of the foam
ball. Cover the ball with small
eggs. Hot glue each egg in
place.
- Glue moss between each of the eggs.

For the Topiary
- Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for the wreath. Cover the cone shape with eggs and
moss. Fill a metal bucket with Styrofoam
and cover the top of the foam with moss. Push a wooden stick or twig
into the bottom of the foam cone and then into the bucket. Tie a piece of ribbon around the twig
and place a few eggs in the top of the bucket.
