1. Bend one end of wire in a loop. Drop hot glue into egg and insert wire with loop end into glue. Let cool a minute or so.

2. Apply paint to egg one or two drops at a time. You can apply different colors on top of each other to achieve unusual shades. Also by applying a drop of clean up solution the colors will bleed into each other. Experiment! This is so much fun.

You can also dab with your finger or a piece of sponge to create unusual effects.

3. For leaves, apply dots of Lime Green, Rainforest Green and Yellow on the portfolio cover plastic. Dab with sponge to slightly blend. Let dry, then cut out leaf shapes.

5. Gather lace tightly in a circle around bottom of egg. Apply hot glue to hold lace to bottom of egg.
