Directions:
For Cactus Eggs
- Paint the eggs, allow to dry, and then paint again until you achieve the desired coverage. I used foam and toothpicks to make a device to dry the paint on eggs without them rolling around and smearing.
- Once the eggs are completely dry, draw the spikes onto the egg with permanent marker.
- If placing in a flower pot, full the pot with rocks; then apply the hot glue to the top of the rocks, and place the painted egg onto the glue.
- To make the flower, cut a small square of pink tissue paper, crumple it up, and then glue it onto the egg wherever you like.
For Unicorn Eggs
- Cut the felt or paper into a square; about 2 inches by 2 inches.
- Start at one corner, and create a cone shape, and secure it with a hot glue gun.
- Cut off excess material or paper from the bottom to create an even bottom for the cone to stand up.
- Glue the cone onto the top of the egg.
- Use the hot glue to attach the small flowers onto the top and back of the egg.
- Use a glue gun to draw the eyes onto the unicorn egg.
For Pineapple Eggs
- Paint the eggs, allow to dry and paint again until you achieve the desired coverage.
- Cut long leaves that resemble those on a pineapple out of the green paper, and glue them to the top of the dried eggs using a hot glue gun.
