Easter Egg Topiary

 Spring has officially sprung, hooray!  

Since it was a beautiful day Sunday, I was inspired to open the windows and start an Easter project!  I absolutely love topiaries!  And, I've always admired the Easter topiaries at Pottery Barn.  So, I decided to create my own!

What You'll Need For This Project:

1 Rattan Cone/Cone Form

2 Bags of Plastic Easter Eggs

1 Large Bag of Spanish Moss
Scissors

A Glue Gun

And, Plenty of Glue Sticks

I started with a Medium-Sized Rattan Cone for the base.  You could also use a Cone Form; I chose rattan for stability. 

First, I created a pattern with the eggs (I alternated the colors/pattern as I worked my way up). 

Next, it was time for glue!  Make sure to apply the glue directly onto the egg and hold firmly until glue sets.  

(Note: this process may be easier with a styrofoam form)

The eggs were placed at a slight angle, all facing the same direction.  I left small gaps in-between each egg for the "future" moss. 

I started at the top when adding the moss, for no particular reason.  I added generous amounts of glue in-between each egg and pressed firmly onto the moss until it was anchored.  I wrapped the excess moss around the adjacent eggs.

Once the moss was set and in place, I gave my topiary a little trim!

To compliment my little tree, I added Mr. Bunny!  He was a fantastic TJ Maxx find!

To add a bow, or not to add a bow, that's the question?
