Making Royal Easter Eggs

• Assorted Jewels and Gold Beads (such as Earring whose pair has been lost, beads from broken necklaces and other such items)
• Cheap Plastic Egg
• Egg Stand or Broken Wine Glass Stem
• Golden or Silver Rick Rack or Ribbon
• Golden Spray Paint or Acrylic Craft Paint
• Hot Glue Gun
• Paint Brush
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Thin Golden or Silver Braid
• Two Ribbon Roses

• Open up the plastic Easter egg and paint it in golden color using acrylic paint and paint brush or spray paint.
• Let both the parts dry completely and then piece them back together.
• Glue the egg to the egg stand using the hot glue.
• When dry, put both ends back together.
• Using the hot glue, glue the egg to the egg stand or the broken wine glass stem.
• If you are using other glass stand options, you may want to paint it golden too.
• Hot glue ribbon or golden or silver rick rack over the egg starting at the joint at the center of the egg.
• Experiment with jewels and beads a bit to get the look you want and you may need the pencil to make the marks while you are still planning where to put them on the egg.
• You may want to put the most beautiful jewel or the biggest stone at the center of the egg and surround it with beads or faux pearls to highlight it.
• Put the two ribbon roses near the centerpiece to highlight it more, though you may want to use other creative methods to do so.
• Hot glue gold beads from the bottom of the egg visible after being kept on the egg stand upwards to make a beautiful base for your jeweled royal Easter egg.
• At the top of the egg, you can place a large stone for the dramatic effect and frame it using outer circle of stones and beads and the gold or silver braid.
