How to Make an Easter Egg Tree

1. Prepare the Branch
   Spray paint the branch if desired and allow it to dry completely.

2. Secure the Tree
   Mix Plaster of Paris in the plastic liner according to package directions. Insert the tree branch into the plaster and allow it to harden fully.

3. Assemble the Base
   Place the plastic liner inside the basket and cover the hardened plaster with Easter grass.

4. Decorate the Tree
   Attach tiny silk flowers to the branches using a glue gun.

5. Add Ornaments
   Hang the Hatching Chick and Bunny Ornaments on the branches.

How to Make the Ornaments

2. Create the Hanger
   Glue the ends of a ribbon inside the larger half of the eggshell on opposite sides to form a handle.

3. Make the Head and Body
   Glue two pom-poms together to form the head and body. Attach the craft eyes.

4. Add Details

   • Chicks: Glue felt beaks to the face

   • Bunnies:

     • Glue two small pink pom-poms side by side for cheeks

     • Glue a small white pom-pom between the cheeks

     • Glue smaller white felt ears onto larger pink felt ears, then attach to the head

5. Assemble the Ornament
   Place the completed chick or bunny into the larger eggshell half.
   Glue the smaller half of the eggshell onto the head so it looks like the animal is hatching.
