Pastel Easter eggs come together to make this topiary. This DIY project is the perfect unique touch for your Easter decor. We love to have a combination of heights in our decor, so this topiary adds some essential height to our Easter shelf.

1

Paint 2.5” Foam Eggs using a flat bristled paint brush and acrylic paint.  I found it helpful to place the eggs on Bamboo Skewers so that I could paint the entire surface without getting my fingers full of paint.  Allow time for the paint to dry.

On a few foam eggs, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge® in small sections using a Sponge Paintbrush.  While the Mod Podge® section is still wet, apply small torn pieces of newspaper.  Repeat until the entire egg is covered in newspaper. Allow time for the Mod Podge® to dry. You can also use the Bamboo Skewer technique for this as well!

Once the eggs are dry, remove the bamboo skewers and replace it with a wooden toothpick.  Apply a dab of hot glue to the end of the toothpick and gently press the toothpick into a DIY Medium Foam Ball.  Repeat this until the entire foam ball is full of eggs.

Carefully use hot glue to adhere floral moss onto the top of the floral foam as well as in between the open spaces of the eggs.  Glue a ribbon bow directly under the easter eggs.
