The next step is to decorate your pot. There are no rules here! You can paint the pot white and use felt to make bunny ears, nose, mouth ect. and glue them on the pot; you can even add large wiggle eyes! Another idea would be to paint Easter egg shapes on the pot, or make some out of felt and glue them on; or paint designs on the clay pot using pastel colors. You are limited only by your imagination! What kind of Easter design can you think of?

Once your pot is decorated, you can plant your twig! Mix up the plaster of paris and fill the pot about 1 inch from the top. Place the twig in the center of the pot pushing it down through the Plaster of Paris. Here is the trickiest part - Make sure the twig stays straight while the plaster dries!

While you are waiting for the plaster to dry, you can make little tree decorations. You can make little bunnies and chicks out of pom-poms. Buy tiny styrofoam eggs or plastic eggs and decorate them! Cut Easter egg shapes out of craft foam and decorate them with glitter. You just want to make sure the ornaments are very lightweight. Attach thread or fishing line to your home-made ornnaments for hanging.

Once the plaster is dry you can decorate your Easter tree! Use your home-made ornaments or you can purchase small ones. You can also use Easter grass, spanich moss, or even a piece of green felt to cover the plaster.
