Easter Egg Garland

I guess that every one of us blew out eggs sometimes in their childhood... This project will remind you of those times and the result will be a sweet Easter garland to decorate a sweet mirror or the mantle of a fireplace... Or, make it very long and decorate your interior stairs for a really fun Easter atmosphere...

What you need:

- fresh eggs ( the number is yours to chose)
- a needle
- egg paint
- decorative ribbon

How to make it:


1. First you have to blow out the eggs. Make two small holes at each end of your eggs with the needle ( it takes a little practice to be able to make the first few holes, but after that things will go easier).  Each hole should be at least 3-4 mm wide so you can blow the content out. Preferably make one hole bigger so that you wont need to blow into the egg until you turn blue. Anyway you will need your holes to be slightly bigger so you will be able to insert the ribbon.

2. Wash your empty egg shells and let them dry overnight, then paint them with your Easter egg paint, just like you would paint a normal egg.

3. After you painted your egg shells, you can start the fun part. Start by inserting the ribbon into one hole of an egg shell and push it until you see it getting closer to the hole at the other end and then pull it out with the help of a crochet needle or a toothpick. Make a knot on the ribbon after the egg and continue with the other egg shells in the same way until you reach the length you wish for your garland.

This is it! Enjoy this simple and sweet project :)! Look who enjoys my garland today :)
