Gluing bright and colorful leaves on dyed Easter eggs makes for an awesome decorative technique. Whether these eggs are for hunting or simply for show, the visual effect of adding these leaves changes the simplicity of the egg. Here's how.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Dyed Easter eggs
• Clear super glue
• A variety of colorful and bright leaves and flowers
• Toothpick

1. Dye your Easter eggs a variety of colors. This will add to the effect once you glue on the leaves and flowers.

2. Drain the eggs so there is no liquid remaining. It is a good idea to let the eggs sit over night in the refrigerator to allow for complete drying.

3. Collect beautifully colored flowers and leaves from around your home and the surrounding area. Make sure you don't pick these from someone else's garden or property without permission.

4. Remove the eggs from their container and hold each egg by the top and bottom. Using the other hand, apply a generous amount of glue to the egg.

5. Apply flowers and leaves to the egg. Make sure you mix the colors evenly to make a beautiful egg. No two eggs will be the same.

6. Use a toothpick to hold down the edges of the leaves or flowers so that your fingers don't stick to the egg.

Tips & Warnings

• If you get super glue on your body, it is very difficult and painful to remove so use with care.
