Be      creative!<\/li>\n<li>Once      the pot and branch have dried completely, plant the branch. Mix plaster of      Paris and fill the pot approximately an inch from the top. Place the branch      in the middle of the pot by pushing it through the plaster of Paris, then      making sure it is straight so it doesn\u2019t dry crooked.<\/li>\n<li>When      the plaster of Paris has dried completely,\u00a0 decorate the      branches with ornaments.\u00a0 Craft stores have small Styrofoam      eggs you can decorate as well as an assortment of pre-made Easter      ornaments.<\/li>\n<li>If you      want, you can cover the plaster of Paris with Spanish moss or Easter      grass.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><em>Sugar Coated Fruit Centerpiece<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This table decoration is made primarily from sugar-coated fruit and is a great, festive centerpiece for Easter dinner.<\/p>\n<p><em>Materials<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Six pounds of various fresh fruit<\/li>\n<li>Apple jelly<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Superfine sugar<\/li>\n<li>Newspaper<\/li>\n<li>Spring flowers, artificial or fresh, depending on how long you plan to use your display<\/li>\n<li>Pastry brushes<\/li>\n<li>Flat basket or spring or Easter-themed platter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Instructions<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cover your work area in newspaper  to keep your work surface clean and make clean-up easy.<\/li>\n<li>Wash      the fruit and lay it on the newspaper to dry.<\/li>\n<li>Mix      one cup of apple jelly and one cup of water, then use a pastry brush to paint each piece of\u00a0 fruit with the mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle      superfine sugar all over the moistened fruit.<\/li>\n<li>Allow      the fruit dry then arrange the mound of fruit on a platter or in a flat      basket.
