In addition to the classic colorful and painted Easter eggs, author Anna Parol shows how to make them Cement manufactures. Advantage: “Can be redecorated each year and tailored to furnishings and preferences.” What you need: 6 eggs, 1 tablespoon cooking oil, a pastry brush, water, 800g noun cement and an egg carton.

A table full of delicate gypsophila flowers can also be decorated with blown eggs. What you need: Thin gold wire, scissors, a black waterproof pen, baby’s breath, floral wire and wooden egg cups (from “Hello Anna, Alles Mit Liebe”). Here’s how it works: Use the black pencil to draw smiley faces on the eggs. Cut a piece of gold wire about 20 cm long and shape it into a small ring that will fit over the egg. Wrap the ring several times so that it has several layers. A sprig of gypsophila is worked into this. Place the finished wreath on the egg and secure it with hot glue.

Carefully remove the top of the letter using a paring knife and remove the contents. Brush all the outside of the letters with acrylic paint and let dry for an hour. Line the inside with cling film and secure with some tape. Cut out the sponge, place it in cardboard letters, and water it gently. Shorten the flower to about 3 cm and pin it to the sponge. Optionally, for the “O” Easter bunny, poke two small holes in the top of the letter with nail scissors or a thick needle. Push the top of the bunny ears cake into the holes.
