| 1) Staple the piece of ribbon to the peat
pot approximately 3/4" below the top rim of the pot. Tie the ribbon in a
bow. 2) Put a few marbles or rocks in the bottom
of the pot for weight.
3) Cover the styro-foam ball with the green tissue and
place it in the peat pot smooth side up.
4) Cut the green pipe cleaners as follows: 2 pieces 6"
long and 2 pieces 3" long.
5) If you are using pre-cut foam shapes (available in
buckets at most craft stores) skip to step 6.
You need to trace and cut two egg shapes from blue
craft foam and 2 from yellow craft foam. Trace and cut 2 bunnies from
pink craft foam and 2 lambs from white craft foam being sure to cut out
and remove the ear section unless you prefer to draw the ear on the
lamb.
Hint - I used a Sizzix die cut machine to make my
shapes. It is quicker and easier if you have one but not necessary.
6) *Apply double sided tape to one side of one blue
egg. Place one end of a 3" piece of pipe cleaner on top of the tape and
cover that with the other blue egg. The end of the pipe cleaner should
now be sandwiched between the two eggs. Repeat from * with the yellow
egg.
7) Repeat step 6 for the two bunny shapes and the two
lamb shapes but use the 6" pieces of pipe cleaner.
8) Glue one eye on each side of the bunny and the
lamb.
9) Use markers to make designs on the eggs (or leave
plain if you prefer).
10) Curl the pipe cleaners by wrapping around a pen or
pencil before poking the end of the pipe cleaner thru the tissue and
into the styro-foam. Place the eggs in front as they are on the shorter
pipe cleaners.
