"Mamaaa!!! There's a crack in this egg! I think a chickie is hatching out!" saith my Tornado.
Not only are these twine eggs a cute, easy craft, but bonus points added for being realistic to a toddler.
How to Make Twine Easter Eggs
1. Start with your standard plastic egg.
2. Unravel a fairly long length of twine. Start gluing on the twine, beginning in the middle of the egg.
Be VERY careful with the hot glue!
3. Keep wrapping and gluing until you get to the end of the egg.
4. At the end of the egg, snip off your twine. Glue the last little bit in as tightly as you can.
5. Rinse and repeat on the other side until the egg is completely covered. You could also start at one end and work your way to the other end, but I found it easier to begin in the middle.
Sorry, sweetheart, but ain't no chickie gonna be hatching out of that. :)
Great job, Hanni! They look lovely, just right for Easter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Masha! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love those twine covered eggs... so clever and "earthly". Thanks for the great idea! Egretta
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! love these =)
ReplyDeleteEgretta: a whole bunch of them together in a bowl would look fabulous...I just didn't have time to make that many!
ReplyDeleteThank you Julia!
ReplyDeleteThose are so darling! I would have to leave them out all year.
ReplyDeleteThis was a neat project. I like the soft look to the green eggs.
ReplyDeleteDo they taste better fried or scrambled? :o) Very cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove those twine easter eggs. Happy Eeaster to you!...Heidi
ReplyDeleteI love the rustic look of these eggs. And, so great for small children. I think my boys would enjoy making these.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I like the natural look of the green eggs too. Happy Easter!
ReplyDelete@Holley - For sure. They would be really sweet if you had a soft little nest to show them off in.
ReplyDelete@GWGT- I had been eyeing the green eggs for a couple years now, and finally caved and bought some. Good old Kroger.
@Heidi- Happy Easter to you back!
ReplyDelete@Karin- Just be careful if you do these with your boys! I burned my fingers a couple times...I think you could buy thicker twine than I had and that may help.
@Bumble- Thank you! I liked the rough edges of the twine eggs with the soft natural green eggs.
ReplyDelete@Casa- They're a little chewy. Poached is probably best. :)
ReplyDeletethese are so cute
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! If it's OK, I'd love to show a photo and link to you on an upcoming post at 11MagnoliaLane.com. Thanks, Christy
ReplyDeleteI will try to reproduce it! Lovely idea!
