How to make eastern egg decorations with yarn

What materials do you need?

  • White eggs. White eggs are a lot easier to paint then their brownish alternatives.
  • Waterpaint with brush and a glass of water. You can also use alternative dyes, like acrylic or fabric paint. But for us the regular craft waterpaint works good enough. Watercolor paint gives a fun marbling effect.
  • Yarn leftovers. Short pieces of yarn will do the trick. You can use any type of fiber. Your end result will look cleaner with well twined floss or yarn. But you can also go for a fluffy look. We used some left overs of Lanita yarn
  • Glue Gun. You’ll use the glue gun to secure your yarn to the egg. If you do not own a glue gun you can also make a little knot and hide it under your your yarn.
  • Scissors

Heat your glue gun. Make a dot of glue on one side of the egg. The amount on the picture is a bit too much. Less is better in this case. Make the dot a bit below the middle. We will now call the side with the glue the ‘backside’ of your egg. Push one end of your yarn directly into the hot glue.
