Thread Egg Craft Instructions

These beautiful Easter eggs can be used as a decoration
or surprise someone with an Easter gift. This is a perfect activity
for scout troops, Sunday school, classroom projects, or make them
at home as a family activity.

You'll Need:
Small oval balloons 
Liquid starch or fabric stiffener
Scissors 
Embroidery floss or sewing thread 
 
      thread easter egg craft
1. Inflate small oval balloons and tie the necks tightly.

2. Soak 12- to 24-inch lengths of embroidery floss or regular sewing
thread (use one color or a variety of colors) in liquid starch or fabric stiffener. Pick up the wet thread and remove excess liquid between
your thumb and forefinger.


3. Wrap the wet threads around the balloon one at a time.
The thread will stick to the balloon without any additional glue
or fastener. Cover the balloon by crisscrossing the threads any
way you choose. 


4. To dry your new egg, tie an additional piece of dry thread around the neck of the thread-wrapped balloon and hang it until it's dry and hard to the touch. Burst the balloon with a pin and pull the balloon out of the top of the Thread Egg. Place Thread Eggs in a basket or bowl.
