INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Cut a 7/8" x 8" strip of card stock for stand.
  2. Glue purple grosgrain ribbon onto paper strip, folding 1/2" excess on each end onto the back of the paper strip; glue.
  3. Cut a 9" piece of rick rack and glue down the center of strip over purple grosgrain. Fold over excess and glue as in step 2.
  4. Roll finished paper strip into a circle, overlapping 1/2" and glue, forming egg stand.
  5. Using the outside edge of egg as a template, draw outline of the oval onto your card stock. Cut away approximately 1/4" from the pencil line, making oval shape small enough to fit inside of the egg.
