Easter egg made of flowers
The first step is to bend the small
basic form from fine and strong wire, as shown in Fig.
74. Strong wire produces the lower ring of 5 1/2 cents
in diameter, which, bent in an obvious way, is
followed by the 6 side rods. These require in 31 cent.
These require two strong and fine wire ends in a
length of 31 cents. Fine wire, continuous around the
ring at the bottom, forms the 2 1/2 cent. high feet
and, stretched crosswise, the base and joins the 6
rods together at the top, here at the same time
forming a small eyelet. The now completed basic form
is filled tightly with fine fresh moss and flowers
attached to its 6-8 cent. long wire stems are placed
in a pleasing arrangement. These stems serve not only to hold the flowers but also the
moss. A coloured ribbon loop attached to the wire
eyelet allows the flower egg to be both hung and
carried safely.
