How to Make an Easter Egg Wreath
And here it is hanging up. Since seeing this idea way back in like January, I have wanted to use it to make an Easter egg wreath. There are tons of people out there trying their hand at this, but my absolute favorite is found here. More recently, Alissa, at Crafty Endeavor did this post about making an Easter Egg Garland. Alissa is smart, and she made this project about a million times easier for me. Next, you need to make your starchy bath. For that you need:
1/2a cup of all purpose flour1 cup Sta-Flo liquid starch
Next you need some balloons. For this you have two options:
Water balloons – they make the perfect shape, but they are very hard to blow up. Some readers have suggested using a pump, which is a great idea.Full sized balloons – they are very easy to blow up, but you have to be careful not to blow them up too much or you will get spheres instead of eggs. Additionally, you need to make sure you tie them very tight or they will leak and deflate before your string dries.
20 skeins of embroidery floss (I ended up using 19) – they were $0.35 each at Michaels and I used a 20% off of everything coupon because I’m thrifty like that Sta-Flo – about $2.50 Water Balloons – about $0.50 if you have good lung capacity Other things you hopefully have: Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue, Wax Paper, Plastic Bowl, Flour, Ribbon for hanging
So if you’re keeping track, I did it for under $10. Not bad for a fancy looking wreath.
