Eggselent bouquet. Happy Easter!

Process:

Draw and cut 2 ovoid (egg) shapes from a piece of cardboard – one larger, one smaller. Crush eggshells, and glue the pieces one side of each of the ovoid cardboard pieces.

Create a 3-dimensional, 4-post “u”-shaped frame to be used as a spacer between the 2 pieces of cardboard. First, bend 2   of heavy duty wire into squared “u” and shape 4 additional lengths of heavy-duty wire into large “zigzags”. The “bottoms” of the “u”-shaped pieces should be approximately 4 to 5 inches in the length. 
Attach one end of 2 “zigzags” wires to the “uprights” of the “u”-shape wire with the green florist wire. Repeat this step to create a second identical piece. Tape the bound areas with stem wrap. Join the wire structures together by taping together the lower ends and of the 4 “zigzag” wires with stem wrap, creating a single stem. The “u”-shaped wires will be the sides of this structure, which will separate two pieces of cardboard. the finished structure should loosely resemble 2 football goalpost, approximately 4-5 inches apart, joined by a single center “stem”.
