Paint the knob and beads fleshtone; paint the heart gold. With the marker, draw black dots for the eyes and mouth, and write “tooth” on the heart. Blush the cheeks with light coral. Using the brush handle, dot light coral around the edge of the heart.

Step Two: The Sleeves

Glue the knob on top of the cork. Wrap the cork. For the sleeves, glue a yo-yo on each corner of the bottle aqs shown. Glue the beads on the yo-yos as shown. Insert thread through the beads from beneath; leave 1 1/2″ slack below and tie the ends above in a knot. Glue the loop of thread
to the top back of the heart, and press both onto the bottle below the beads. Glue the roses pointing forward on top of the head.

Step Three: The Wings

Gather the gold ribbon by pulling the wire along one edge. Make a circle with the gathering along the inside. Pinch the middle of the circle to form two loops; wrap the excess wire around the pinched middle and ribbon ends. Glue the wings behind the head, above the cording.

Take the toothpick and dip it in the craft glue then dot it onto the leaves or flowers you have chosen, then apply the leaf or flower to the egg glue side down and allow to dry completely.

When eggs are completely dry, completely cover with a coat of spray varnish or decoupage medium to preserve your creations.

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl. Melt butter and shortening; stir in egg, sugar, salt, and remaining warm water. Add butter mixture to yeast mixture; gradually add 1 cup flour, mixing well. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer for 2 minutes. Gradually stir in enough of remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and let rest 10 minutes. Knead about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, until doubled in bulk size. Yield: enough dough for about 16 egg nests.

Icing:

1 cup of sifted, powdered sugar; 1 tbs. milk

Combine ingredients and mix well. (Cover with plastic wrap when not in use.) Yield: about 1/2 cup

What to do:

Prepare yeast bread dough. When dough is doubled in bulk, punch down and divide in half. Cover one half of dough and set aside.

Shape dough into nest shapes as follows; Divide half of dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into 11-inch long ropes. Twist ropes tightly to make spirals; shape spirals into circles and seal ends. Carefully transfer to greased baking sheets.

Let dough shapes stand 10 minutes. Beat 1 egg and 1 tbs. of water until blended; lightly brush egg mixture on dough.

Bake dough nests at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until they just begin to brown. Remove from oven and insert desired color hard-boiled eggs in center of nests. Bake about 5 additional minutes or until golden brown. Note: If eggs are baked too long, dyed shells will discolor.) Remove from baking sheets and let cool on wire racks.

GENTLY sprinkle the silica over the roses until covered (being careful not to distort the flowers).

Tap box to settle silica and top up as needed.

Place in microwave for 2 min. on high (if silica is cold).

Leave overnight to cool and finish the drying process (Leaving them in the silica supports and keeps flowers in their original form).

Remove flowers from silica gently tapping rose to remove any residue.
