Making Pressed-Flower Eggs

Blown-out, dyed eggs

Mod-Podge

Small paintbrush

Skewers

1. Using a small paintbrush, apply a dab of Mod-Podge to the egg where the flower will go. Using the same brush, carefully pick up a flower, and decoupage it onto the egg. Apply another thin coat of Mod-Podge on top of the flower. Be sure to leave a little room around one of the holes, as it will be covered later.

2. Decoupage the remaining flowers as desired. Allow the egg to dry on a skewer for about 10 minutes, or until the flowers are dry to the touch. (If you notice any lifting at this point, you may need to re-cover some areas with the Mod-Podge.) Once it’s dry, place another flower on the hole that’s still visible. Let dry for about 10 minutes.
