We dropped our eggs off in the mail- I'm hoping they'll reach their recipients by Easter and hopefully brighten some postal workers' day on the way.I have to admit, those plastic easter eggs make me a little bonkers. They're great for Easter egg hunts, but then they're all over, you step on them, and they're not especially attractive. Fortunately, this week I managed to turn some of them into something a little nicer looking.
I think they're pretty cute! Here's what you need:
Plastic Egg
Clear Craft Glue
Scissors
Yarn (I liked the look of Sugar 'n Cream- and there are so many colors)
You'll also want a baby wipe on hand to wipe the glue from your fingers.
Starting at the top, loop the yarn around on itself and wrap it around. Continue swirling the yarn around .
Work the yarn all the way to the center of the egg, then cut the yarn on a diagonal (this helps it lay flat). Turn your egg over and repeat from the other end.
Ta Da! The whole process takes about 5 minutes.

Swirl the glue around one half of your egg, then spread it around with your finger.

That is a brilliant idea! Nicely done!
What a cute and simple project! I really like it.
Do they still open and close? So cute!!
@ Turtle- they don't, but I think if you wre careful about how far you wrapped, you could make them that way. I'm not sure how much of a gap that would leave.
that is awesome. I think I'll have to try and make a few myself. So cool.
so Cute! So did they make it to their destinations safely?
