Easter egg topiary





I was inspired by THIS Hobby Lobby project to make an Easter egg topiary. However, I used different materials and made it my own. Here's my mini tutorial:


I started with a 2 7/8 x 7 7/8 inch cone from the Dollar Tree. I got mine during the Christmas season and never got around to the intended project. I also got some foam glitter egg ornaments and moss from the Dollar Tree.



I removed the ribbon hangers and cut the eggs in half.  Leave one whole for the top. It only took one package doing it this way.



I glued the halves onto the cone with the glue gun. Then I filled in with the moss. Some people cover the cone with moss first. I don't this it matters. Glue a whole egg to the top. After I did that, I glued on some butterfly/flower picks that I got from Tuesday Morning. Just randomly space them to your liking. I also added some tiny flowers from Michael's. That's it. I didn't put mine in a pot or base. It sits flat and can be displayed on any pedastal I choose.

Here's another shot:

  1. Every time I hear people mention the dollar store or the dollar tree, I feel a little pang of anguish that we don't have something like that here. I bought plastic eggs to make decor for Easter but have no idea what to do with them because I don't know where to get other materials in my area. Anyway, yours is really cute and unique! I don't think I've seen something like that done with Easter eggs yet :)

Thought it was a mini Christmas tree lol If I don't find the supplies this year I am definitely doing it next! Wish we had those styrofoam cones at the dollar store around here, but alas we don`t :(
