    Add a large plastic egg to the center and surround it with jelly beans
    *You need to make 4 of these nests

    Make a large nest with hot glue and Easter grass with a large egg in the center
    *This large nest will be for the center of the chandelier
    Embellish the chandelier with a matching color of paint if you want
