-
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.
-
Lightly press dry paper strips along the outside to make it look messier for a nest look.

Carefully pull the plastic wrap off the bowl and then away from the nest.

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

Directions:
-
Take a Styrofoam wreath (choose which ever size you prefer) and begin to hot-glue the almonds on the inside circumference of the wreath, overlapping a few to give it dimension.

Continue in a circular pattern until the entire front and side parts of the wreath are fully covered.
-
Hang the wreath on a sturdy cotton ribbon, and there you have it your own colourful Jordan wreath.

Directions:

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.

Allow the chocolate to harden before eating.
