In a separate container mix equal parts of water and clear glue.
-
Dip handfuls of shredded paper into the glue mixture and lay them on the outside of bowl until it's covered.

There you have it, your very own birds nest for your candy or decorated eggs.

Melt some orange coloured white-chocolate drops found at any cake decorating store. If you don’t have any access to orange colored white-chocolate drops, melt white chocolate chips in a bowl and add a few drops of red and yellow food colouring until you get the desired colour.

Dip the strawberries in the chocolate and place them on a wax sheet of paper.

With a teaspoon or a skewer, drizzle excess chocolate over the strawberries to create carrot ridges.
