How to do it Download the templates/recipes
1 Make holes at both ends of the large plastic eggs. Start by drilling with a heated darning needle and then use heated round-nose pliers or a knitting needle. Twist around and push to create the holes.
2 Apply decoupage lacquer onto the egg and attach a guinea fowl feather. Apply a coat of decoupage lacquer onto the guinea fowl feather outwards from the shaft of the feather.
3 Thread the eggs onto bonsai wire. We have used nine decorated eggs for this wreath. Twist the two ends of bonsai wire tightly together to make a closed wreath.
4 Make a loop with one end of the bonsai wire and twist the two ends together on the back of the wreath. Trim the excess bonsai wire.
5 Make a hole in the small plastic quail eggs or divide the eggs shells in two (eg: using a hammer).
6 Attach the egg shells and the rabbit figures onto the wreath using a glue gun.
7 Attach guinea fowl feathers and white down onto the wreath from the back using a glue gun.
8 You may make the wreath without a loop for hanging, placing it on a dish for decoration.
