Easter Egg Bush

Dyeing Easter eggs? That’s what Grandma did! Painting? Maybe Mum! Today, the Easter egg is going to be covered with grass! It looks fab and is guaranteed to be the absolute eyecatcher of your Easter decorations! The model building grass fibres that NOCH kreativ has in its range are ideal for this. There’s also a Starter Set "Grass" and even a Decorative Easter Eggs Craft Kit! You may need everything, but one thing at a time...
We start with the plastic eggs. First, stick them on a kebab skewer. You can get these from your corner shop (it won’t hurt to buy a few chocolate eggs at the same time!). Then coat the Easter egg with Grass Glue. The glue is super easy to spread and fantastic at adhering to the plastic.

The grass fibres must now be poured into the Puffer Bottle. To do so, unscrew the red cap and remove the grey insert from the bottle. I used a sheet of paper to make a small funnel for filling the yellow Puffer Bottle, so that the grass passes through the opening more easily. Fill the bottle no more than halfway. Then put the grey insert in, put the cap on, and shake thoroughly for a few seconds! This electrostatically charges the little grass fibres. Unscrew the cap again and blow the grass fibres into the glue on the egg by squeezing the Puffer Bottle. The blades of grass stand up in the glue and stick out vertically from the egg! It looks super fluffy and like real grass. Tap the egg and repeat the process until it’s densely covered with grass. It’s best to put a box (e.g. a shoebox) under the egg so you can catch the grass fibres and reuse them. But the glue must dry for a while first. If you now put your finger in the grass, you would flatten the grass fibres and the great fluffy effect would be gone. So, be patient! It’s best to put the eggs on the skewers in a glass where they won’t be lying down and can dry in peace, preferably overnight.

Once your Easter eggs are dry, you can pull the kebab skewers out of the eggs again. It’s now the bows’ turn. Cut off a piece of ribbon you like and secure it in the middle of the egg with a drop of hot glue. Then wait a short while until the glue is cold. Pull the ribbon to the front and tie a nice bow. Now only the thread for hanging is missing. Cut a piece of thread or yarn to the desired length, double it, and tie it around a matchstick that you previously cut in half. Insert the hanger through the hole in the egg until it’s all the way in and jack-knifes when you pull it back. By the way, I used brown thread. You never need it to sew on buttons anyway, and you won’t notice it once it’s hanging on the bush!
