Easter Egg Topiary DIY

As we get closer to the much-anticipated change to spring, here is a beautiful DIY project to help you “hop” into the Easter season!

For this project, you will need the following supplies:

Step One:

Making sure it fits tightly, put a piece of floral foam into the bottom of your container.

Then, cut the dowel rod to about 13″ high.

Using your glue gun, glue the dowel rod into the foam in the bottom of your container.

Slide your Styrofoam cone over the top of your dowel rod.

Step Two:

Attach your eggs onto the Styrofoam cone with hot glue.

We used 2 different sizes of eggs – 18 large eggs and 24 small.

Try to make them as evenly spaced as possible.

Step Three:

Once you have all of the eggs attached, take your hot glue gun and drizzle glue in between the eggs.

Do this to a small area at a time, and as you go, fill in that space with the Spanish moss.
