Instructions:

1. Print the egg decorations and stands onto card stock. Set aside to dry completely.
2. For easier folding, score the tabs of the decorations. To do this, lay a ruler along each set of grey dotted lines, and run a butter knife or scoring tool along the ruler. Use moderate pressure to create an indentation on the paper.
3. Place the cutting mat underneath the page. Using the X-ACTO knife and the ruler as your guide, trim the white areas away from the decorations and stands.
4. Apply a small bead of glue to one end of an egg stand and connect the ends together to form a ring.
5. Experiment with the placement of the decorations on the eggs. Once you've chosen the right spot, mark the area with a tiny pencil mark.
6. Apply a dot of glue to your egg on the pencil mark, and then quickly add your decoration.
7. Continue dressing all the eggs until your menagerie is complete.
