THREAD EGGS  Decorate a tree with these Ostara eggs in no time! What you need: * Small Oval Balloons * Scissors * Embroidery Floss or Sewing Thread (one or more colors) * Liquid Starch or Fabric Stiffener Instructions: Inflate balloons to the size of desired eggs and tie necks tightly. Soak 12 to 24 inch lengths of floss or thread in starch or stiffener. Soak pieces individually and pull the wet thread between your thumb and forefinger to remove excess liquid. 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 in any way you choose. Use less thread for an open, lacy egg or wrap additional thread for an egg that looks more solid. Tie a piece of thread around the neck of the thread-wrapped balloon and hang it until the thread is 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, or attach loops of floss so you can hang several on a tree branch to create an egg tree. |
