    1. Use a pencil to mark a zig-zag pattern on small pink, yellow, and aqua eggs.

    3. Use the tracing and transfer papers and a pencil to trace and transfer the leaf pattern onto green Fun Foam. Cut out the patterns with scissors.
    4. Use a 3/4" flat brush and Blue Bahama to paint the pot and Larkspur Blue to paint the rim.
    5. Use a sponge pouncer and Larkspur Blue to stamp dots on the pot base.

    7. Cut each chenille stem into three pieces. Use a pencil or brush handle to curl one end of each.
    8. Assembly: Poke a hole in the base of each "tulip". Insert the dowel in the bottom. Insert three chenille stem pieces into the hole from the outside in. Secure all with glue.
    9. Position and press floral foam into the pot. Position and push the dowels into the foam.
