Yarn Easter Egg
I know this is very similar to the nest I did, I actually made this weeks before I did the nest but have been waiting to post it. I saw this years ago in a book at a rec center I worked at, it was worth the wait, I love how it turned out. This is a fun craft for school aged kids home for spring break or preschoolers with some patience. I didn’t bother trying to have my son help, his love of eating glue would have been in overdrive I’m sure.
- Gather your materials. You will need glue, yarn , a balloon and some ribbon.
- Blow up your balloon a little ways and tie it.
- Cut some yarn in about 12 inch pieces. For this craft I used about 20 , 12″ pieces total.
- Mix your glue with a tiny bit of water if you want, this made it easier to soak the yarn but it took longer to dry. Either way works- just don’t dilute it too much.
- Start drenching the yarn in the glue
- Laying it on the balloon. Criss cross it over the whole thing.
- Keep going…and going.
- When you feel it’s done let it dry , I prefer to let it dry by hanging it from a rack with a clothes pin. That way it’s not touching anything and won’t get stuck.
- When it’s dry carefully pop the balloon, and fish it out of the egg.
- Add your ribbon!
