Tutorial: Embroidery Floss Easter Eggs

Hello,
I am sooo ready for Spring and I have been working on a few Springtime and Easter projects.
Today I am going to share with you this easy tutorial on how to make Easter eggs out of embroidery floss.
These are so easy to make and they turn out so pretty and dainty looking.

Supplies Needed:
  • Round balloons
  • Assorted Colors of Embroidery Floss
  • Glue or Mod Podge
  • Bowl or Container
I used all purpose white glue on these that I bought at the dollar store and diluted it with a little water.





Instructions:
  • Blow your balloon up to about 1 1/2" or 2" and tie the end.
  • Dip your embroidery floss into the glue or modge podge and wrap around the balloon until you get the desired look you want.  (I like mine not too close so they have a lacy look)
  • Once covered hang up to dry (use a christmas ball hook or unfold a paper clip for a hanger)  or set them in an empty styrofoam egg carton. 
  • Let dry overnight.  I ruined a few by not being patient and letting them dry completely!
  • Once completely dry  pop the balloon and remove.



These look so pretty displayed in a basket or in a dish.
I will probably take a few and add some glitter and a ribbon and a few small silk flowers to hang them on an Easter tree.  If I get them finished I will post more pictures.
Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoyed these.
Love,
Beverly
