Instructions:
Cut the styrofoam egg in half so you have to egg shapes with flat backs. Cut the magnet strip so it is almost the same height as your egg shape. Attach the magnet strip to the flat side of the egg shape.

Decorate the front of your egg with miscellaneous craft supplies. A few suggestions:

  • Sequins
  • Rick-Rack
  • Ribbon
