How to do it
1 Draw lines on the part of the egg that will be the lid. These lines are used as guide lines when attaching the feathers.
2 Glue feathers on the lid using a glue gun. For the large eggs you will need one bag of feathers for one half of the egg. For the small egg you will need one bag of feathers.
3 Paint the bottom part of the largest egg with Plus Color craft paint. You may apply two coats of paint.
4 Make a card waist band by tearing strips off using a ruler. Tear on the reverse side. This strip is 4 cm wide. You will need two strips for an Easter egg.
5 Scrunch up the card to add texture.
6 Glue the card strips together in continuation of each other using a glue gun. Place the egg on top of the join and gather the strips on top, making sure that the waist band goes all the way around the egg.
7 Wrap natural twine around the egg three times and finish with a bow. You may attach another wood veneer decoration.
