Decorative moss-covered easter eggs
The celebrated furniture designer Charles Eames was on to something when he said: "The details are not the details. They make the design." Just like for the Easter table.
There's nothing like the finishing touch of an individual Easter egg by each person's plate to turn an everyday meal into a celebration. Follow these instructions to create beautiful moss-covered eggs, adorned with a beautiful flower. They're table decorations that bring the joy and magic of nature indoors.
You will need:
- Hardcooked eggs
- Moss
- Flowers and plants: we used lady’s smock and fern
- Glue gun
- Gold wire
- Scissors
Get to work
Boil the eggs till they are hard. Tear off a number of small pieces of moss. Apply the warm glue to the egg and then attach pieces of moss until the whole egg is covered. Make sure the moss is not too damp, otherwise it won’t stick. Small gaps can easily be filled with some extra glue and moss, and if the moss is a little too wild, you can trim it a bit with scissors.
Select the most attractive flower or plant leaves and secure them to the egg with gold wire. Then, curl gold wire up to form a base for the egg. Remember, it's all about the details.
