Egg-cellent idea!

I finally got the last of my Valentine’s decorations down yesterday.  When I went to put them away, I opened my Easter box and got very excited!  I love to buy holiday decor after the fact when its deeply discounted.  I had forgotten about these little gems.  I got them at Big Lots last year for a couple dollars for a bag of ten eggs.

Can you guess what I did with them?  I made an egg tree!

This is a really easy and inexpensive project and the girls had lots of fun helping me. 
Supplies:
Container
Styrofoam: I hot glued a piece of styrofoam to the inside to support the branches.
Branches:  Just cut some from the yard, or can you believe Dollar Tree has them?!
Eggs
Step 1: Hot glue foam inside container.  Step 2:  Insert branches.  Step 3: Decorate.

It just makes the foyer so happy! 
Peter Cottontail would certainly love this egg-cellent idea!
