Brighten up your home this Easter with some simple to make decorations. Collect a few long twigs, buy some plain eggs from a craft shop, or blow your own real eggs, and get going with Plasti-kote spray paint. As an alternative to eggs you could cut out some bold cardboard flowers and spray them in the same way. We used Plasti-kote colours from the Super range: Cameo Pink, Blue Lilac and Daffodil Yellow on the eggs and flowers and Ice Cream on the twigs.

You get 400ml of paint in each Plasti-kote Super spray can, so there is plenty more for other projects. Why not take an old basket (could be last year's) and spray some real eggs, preferably blown but if you don't have the energy, ordinary or hard boiled eggs will be fine - you just can't keep them until next year!

A good idea to keep the chocolate count down is to take an ordinary egg box and some used egg shells. Spray paint the box and the eggs shells and hide some goodies under each egg. It could be some small chocolate eggs under one shell and a tiny toy treat under another.

Plasti-kote spray paints are available from all good DIY stores. Plasti-kote Super range retails at £5.49 for a 400ml can. For more information, visit www.plasti-kote.co.uk.
How to do it:
1. Make sure anything you are spraying is clean and dry.
2. In a well-ventilated area, protecting surfaces that you don't want sprayed, apply three fine layers of Plasti-kote Super Satin spray paint leaving 5-10 minutes between each coat. The items are touch dry in 15 minutes, thoroughly dry in 30 minutes.
