Easter Egg Topiary

Add a topiary with natural elements to this year's spring tablescape.

Fresh eggs from heirloom chickens made this topiary pop! You will also need: assorted moss, a styrofoam cone, a slice of birch tree (look in the wood burning section of the craft store), hot glue gun & glue, blown out eggs, ribbon, 2 floral pins (optional), 2 mini-grapevine wreaths, a small chalkboard sign, and a chalk paint pen.

Blow out the eggs. Techniques can be found online. I used a Dremel. Once the contents of the eggs are blown from the shells, soak them in a bowl of soapy water and rinse them clean. Set them aside to dry prior to use.
