1. Draw 6 curving lines of various length radiating from the top and bottom of the foam egg.
2. Draw branches on the lines.
3. At the head of each line make a flower, using one color sequin for the center of the flower and 5 sequins of a different color for the petals.
4. You can also make buds at the head of shorter lines by using 2 or 3 colored sequins.
5. Trace the lines with green sequins to make the stems.

**Feel free to paint the foam first before you do the sequin pattern.
