What you need:

Egg Garland Materials 1

Step 1

Blow up the balloon just enough to achieve an egg shape. Stretch the balloon before to avoid it being rounded.

Step 2

Step 2

Tie the end of the yarn to the tied piece of your balloon.

Step 3

Paint a thin layer of glue on the balloon, while keeping it stable in a cup or jar.

Step 3

Step 4

Wrap the yarn around the balloon in all different directions to cover most of the surface. You can leave some empty spaces.

Step 4

Step 5

Once the yarn is in place, cover the balloon a second time, to soak the yarn completely. This will ensure the egg shape stays in place when you go to pop the balloon.

Step 6

Wait a full 24 hours to allow the glue to fully dry. Once the glue and yarn are fully dry, use a pin to pop the balloons.

Step 7

Using the same yarn, run a long piece through each one of the eggs to hang your garland.

Happy Easter!
