String Egg
Instructions for making string egg decorations using glue and a balloon.

Materials Needed:
  • Yarn
  • Small Balloon
  • Diluted Glue or Liquid Starch
Instructions:
Cut approximately ten 12 inch pieces of yarn. Blow up the ballon to the desired size and shape of egg you want. Using one piece of yarn at a time, dip it into the diluted glue or liquid starch and wrap it around the balloon. Criss-cross the strings all different ways to cover the balloon. Once the yarn dries, about 24 hours, pop and remove the balloon. You can even tye a piece of string or fishing line on these and hang them around the house.
