Easter Sting Eggs are a spin off the traditions hard sugar decorative Easter Egg. Easter String Eggs are an Easter craft decoration that are hallow, egg-shaped ornaments made completely of string!
Project From: Crafty Art World
Supplies Needed:
2 cups water
2 cups sugar or liquid
starch
Pastel embroidery thread colors
1 can of clear spray paint
1 bag of balloons
1 old newspaper
Directions:
1. Cover a large area with
newspaper. This is a messy
Easter craft and the newspaper
will allow for easy cleanup.
2. Mix the water and sugar in a
pan, boil, cool, and poor into a bowl. Place the bowl in the
center of the newspaper. The
sugar is similar to glue in this
project. If you find that the string
is not sticking to the balloon, add
more sugar.
3. Blow up the balloons to be
as egg shaped as possible.
4. Dip one embroidery thread in
the sugar water and lay it across
the balloon. Repeat with a new
color, making sure to overlap the
threads in some areas. Cover
your balloon with these threads in
an artistic tangle.
5. Let dry over night. (typically
these dry best when hung from a
hanger)
6. Gently push in the balloon to
un-stick the threads. Pop the
balloon and pull it out (this is also
messy, so do so over a sink).
7. Spray the Sugar Egg with
clear paint to prevent ants.
Hang or display as desired!
