Easter Egg Topiary Perfect to Display Year After Year
Easy
What a beautiful way to display those gorgeous artificial Easter eggs by making an Easter egg topiary! We always see those pretty eggs in the stores this time of year but never know how to display them in a new and fun way. This topiary is perfect for Easter decor but would also look great to carry over into spring.
You will need a small hole dug into the styrofoam pieces in order to insert the dowel rod. Using your scissors very carefully, place the sharp and pointed end into the styrofoam and start turning in a twisting motion to form a round hole. Be careful not to twist a hole down and completely through the styrofoam. Stop after about several inches are dug and you feel it will be enough support to hold up dowel rod. You can also use your dowel rod to place inside once hole is started to make for better size. Also do the same with the styrofoam balls just being sure to not go completely through the ball.
Place your styrofoam pieces into your pots. The cube piece has to be trimmed down in order to fit. I used my scissors to first cut the corners off and then the sides. I just kept placing it inside the pot and then trimming again until it fit inside. Cut your styrofoam over a large piece of newspaper or the trash can because this will make a mess of tiny styrofoam pieces.
Now for the fun part of gluing your eggs on the ball. I did not really use any particular pattern but just placed them in random as I glued each one being sure to not place two of the same color directly next to each other. Continuing gluing each egg on until the ball is completely covered.

Very cute. Wish i could use hot glue for projects but i live in the southwest and when items are stored in a non climate controlled environment, everything melts...even the high temp. 😰

Sorry you misunderstood the issue. I am talking about the finished products. Anything that is held on with hot glue falls off when exposed to the sun and heat. Then the melted glue drips down the door, window, etc. Cannot store anything in a garage or attic. Even high temp glue .
