SUPPLIES

INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Use a craft knife to cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
- Tear each color of tissue into small pieces.
- Use a 3/4" flat brush to coat each egg half heavily with Americana Matte Decou-Page. Immediately position tissue pieces, brushing on more Decou-Page as you work. (Overlapping and wrinkling is desired.) Repeat, doing multiple egg halves with each color.
- When dry, use a 3/4" flat brush to mix Dark Chocolate and Staining/Antiquing Medium together 1:1. Brush the mix over the eggs and wipe back.
- Unroll the floral moss, retaining any bits that may drop off. Position the moss on the Styrofoam cone, securing with pins and hot glue. Cover the entire cone.
- Position the egg halves randomly over the moss securing with pins and glue. (Visible pin tops can be covered with dab of glue and pieces of the leftover moss.)
