Bring color into your home with a colorful Easter bush
decorate the branches
Cut off a few ends of the colorful embroidery thread and wrap them around the branches. Make sure you secure the ends of the yarn with some handicraft glue . If you use fresh branches, make sure not to wrap any buds around them so that they can bloom or turn green in the vase.
Then select the small pompoms from the bulk pack and stick them to the branches. If you are using handicraft glue , press the pompoms on a little longer if necessary. Hot glue is quicker, but may leave visible traces of glue.

If you don't want to leave the eggs unpainted, first prime them with handicraft paint. Be careful not to make the papier-mâché eggs wavy due to excessive moisture. It is better to work in two thin layers in case the paint does not cover immediately.

Mine have two sizes to get different sized fluffy tails. Once the colors are dry, glue on the white pompoms . To do this, cut off a small piece of the pompoms , put some glue on it and press it firmly onto the bunny.
