Clay Pot:
1. Basecoat pot with Aqua, rim with Lavender. Let dry.
2. Paint Turquoise EG over Aqua, and Purple EG over Lavender. Let dry and apply a second coat.
3. Wedge Styrofoam into pot. Glue purple Easter grass onto Styrofoam. Trim with scissors if necessary.
4. Stick the white branch into the Styrofoam to desired height and squirt some glue around hole to secure.

Glass Eggs:
1. Remove metal hangers and set aside.
2. Use your choice of two colors in each egg. Vary the combinations for more variety.
3. Pour a little of color #1 into the bottom of egg. Tap it on the palm of your hand to coax it to run to either side. Pour a little of 2nd color in the vacant spaces between color #1. Rotate and tap against palm until coverage is achieved. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: while holding the egg securely in your hand, sling the excess into a trash can. Keep rotating the egg in your hand and slinging until no more will come out (this takes about 5 minutes). Place egg on the upside down Styrofoam cup hole in front of fan and rotate every 30 minutes until completely dry.
4. Re-install metal hangers and use the decorative ribbon to secure the glitter-eggs to the branches.
