Bedazzled Easter Eggs

Add some sparkle to change up your usual Easter eggs. Thanks to a styrofoam base, these eggs won't break or spoil, so kids can put them in their baskets year after year.

What you'll need:

• Sequin strands or other shiny embellishments
• Styrofoam egg
• Glue
• Scissors

Want to get all your supplies in one place? This Sparkly Egg (pictured above) has everything you need to make your own glam egg.

Instructions:

1. Plan your sequin design. You can use different sequin color strands, or you can use one solid color. You can also add small bands of stripes. This is kids' chance to be super creative!

2. Pick up the first sequin strand you'd like to wrap. Add a dab of glue to the end of the sequin strand, then hold it in place for a few seconds on the styrofoam egg where you'd like to begin wrapping.

3. Begin wrapping the sequin strand around the egg, pausing to glue every couple of wraps to secure the sequins. You can wrap in any direction: vertically, horizontally, or even diagonally.

4. Continue wrapping until you are happy with your egg's sparkly design. If you'd like to change sequin colors, simply cut the sequin strand with scissors, then add a dab of glue to the end to secure it to the egg. Repeat step 2 to begin wrapping with the new color.

5. Once you have finished wrapping the egg, cut the sequin strand. Add a dab of glue to the end of the last sequin color, holding the sequin strand in place for a few seconds to secure it.
