Spring Topiaries

Easter is early this year, March 27th! Here in southwest Missouri the forecast is for warm weather, I am hoping that is true. I will take you on a little tour of my 2016 Front Porch here in the next couple of posts. The first post is these bright pink egg topiaries.

                        .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
​The plastic eggs are a set of three eggs within each other from Hobby Lobby (the pink ones are the ones on the outside and the largest). The green egg is inside the blue ones which are inside the pink ones. I will use these extra eggs for Easter fun for the grandchildren.
​                       .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

Directions:
The eggs have a hole drilled in the bottom with a spade bit. The 1 inch dowel rod was painted and distressed and then pushed through the hole to the top of the egg. The dowel rod/egg is then set in plaster paris which is poured into a coffee can. The can is then set into the urns and covered with colored grass.

I bought these urns years ago and continue to change the topiaries seasonally. 

Here is a previous post of how I make the topiaries also:

I added more detail in the post, which I should have done in the beginning. If it doesn't answer your question entirely, please let me know.
