What do you get when you mix embroidery floss, fabric stiffener/Modge Podge, and balloons? Besides a big mess...
These beauties! At least Arlene's turned out like this. How about ya'll's?
We all had a blast making a giant mess together.
A blend of 3 parts fabric stiffener to one part Modge Podge seems to be the magic formula for the eggs in case you're thinking of recreating at home.
Simply dip an unraveled strand of embroidery floss in the mixture and wrap around a BARELY inflated balloon
Viola!
Let dry about 24 hours and you'll have lovely string eggs. Tie ribbon on them if you want to hang them or just present them in a bowl.
On a side note, isn't Crystal's headband pretty?
Special thanks as always goes to our childcare workers. Trudy was hearing the Easter story through resurrection eggs when I picked her up. It's never to young to start our kids off with Bible truth!
I am going to make some more...now to pick some springy colors!! And I LOVED Crystal's beautiful head band...too cute. Thanks Jenn for chronicling our MOPs year!
