GEMSTONE EGG

What you’ll need:
● ‘Happy Easter’ Foam Eggs 6pk
● Crafters Choice Gems
● Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Instructions:
Step 1 – Starting at the base of the deco foam egg use a hot glue gun to glue rhinestones on individually.
Step 2 – Continue gluing rhinestones on, working your way up the egg. If you like you can change the sizes of the rhinestones as you go. We started with larger gems at the base and
swapped to smaller gems half way up.
Step 3 – If there are any gaps you can fill them in by gluing more gems into the gaps and layering them on top of one another.
