Trace your pattern on cardboard *You'll need two single pieces and one piece cut on the fold Cut 8 quarter circles about 1 1/2" each Paint everything with Americana Decor Chalky Finish Hot glue the pieces together
Add hot glue to a cardboard disk and glue on plastic Easter grass to make a small nest Add a large plastic egg to the center and surround it with jelly beans *You need to make 4 of these nests Take 4 small plastic eggs and glue Easter grass to the base of each 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 Add the nests with the large eggs to the arms of the chandelier
Glue the small eggs with Easter grass to the curve on the chandelier *Refer to the beauty shot for placement Glue 8" long pieces of ribbon to 4 small, 4 medium and 1 large egg Punch holes in the bottom of the chandelier Hang the eggs from the holes Glue peeps on the chandelier with a hot glue gun Add the large nest to the center of the chandelier with more hot glue Hang from ribbon Open the large eggs on the nests and fill with chocolate bunnies
