Final Result

Materials

• patterned/plain coloured paper
• chenille stick
• clean empty plastic bottle
• scissors
• pencil
• double-sided tape
• small circle punch
• crystal shred

Step 1

Cut the top section off the bottle (it can be used later as a funnel). Draw egg shapes onto the wrong side of the paper and cut out the eggs. Punch a hole on opposite sides of the ‘basket’ just below the cut edge. Form the chenille stick into a handle and thread the ends into the holes. Bend the ends up slightly. Stick paper eggs onto the outside edge and fill with crystal shred.
