Plastic Easter Egg Flowers
I thought it would be fun to make some flowers to dress up plastic Easter eggs! These stick into the ground for egg hunting fun, they would be really great for little kids so they’re bright and easy to find. They’re also a great addition to Easter baskets or for an Easter gift, fill them with treats and make a filled flower arrangement! There are a lot of possibilities and since these are made from foam they’re reusable year after year!
The first thing you'll want to do is cut a dowel rod into 6 inch pieces. Then sand the ends to smooth them out and paint them green .
Use one of your eggs to trace a circle in the center of a piece of craft foam. A sharpie works best so it doesn't smear.
Now use a piece of paper or card stock to trace another larger circle about 5-6 inches in diameter.
Now draw in petals in whatever style you want them.
Cut the petals out and cut out the center where the egg will go.
Put your egg in the center and secure it with a little bit of hot glue.
Now cut out a leaf shape or two from your green foam and attach it to your dowel rods. It works best to put a spot of hot glue toward the bottom then kind of pinch and hold it on while the glue cools. You can put on as many or as few leaves as you’d like!
And you're all done! Isn't that super cute!
You can pop open the eggs and fill them with candies, money, small toys, whatever you want!
You can make these flowers in any style or color you'd like! They're super fun and bright!
