It’s almost Easter again. Have you finished dyeing your eggs? How about something different for a change? Why not wrap your Easter Eggs with colorful yarn? You can even Dye the Yarn with Easter Egg Dyes to make them even more special.
Supplies needed:

Here’s all you need:
– Plastic Eggs
– Colorful Yarn or learn to Dye Your Own Yarn
– Tacky Glue
– Craft Sticks
Wrapping:
Spread a thin layer of Tacky Glue over a small section of a plastic egg and attach the yarn. This takes a little practice and can get a bit messy. Use your fingers to snug the strands of yarn against each other. You can glue the yarn in many different patterns, stripes … you can also strand several colors at once. Oh, and I tried to use the glue gun but the glue dried too quickly.
Once the egg is completely covered with yarn, set it out to dry. The beauty of these Easter Eggs is that they last forever!

What a creative idea for Easter eggs! I never would have thought of this- so simple and I have all the materials at home. I think my daughter would adore doing this. Thank you!
Kids love to felt these eggs. They seem to be better at it than adults
I saw this on Pinterest using twine instead of yarn and thought it was a really cool idea! Simple but pretty! I might give it a try if I can find the time this weekend.
Ooh, twine is a great idea! A more rustic look
How creative. These eggs are adorable!
Thank you Melissa. They are fun to make
Very cute eggs. I love that they are so pretty, yet so easy to make. I have some specialty yarn that I used in a project and only have a bit left. I think this idea would be perfect for using it up.
Give it a try Sheila! Let me know how it goes!
I think this this is my newest favorite Easter egg craft, if only because I think I can actually do this one!
Aww… this one is practically fool-proof
So glad to have found your site this morning. These eggs are beautiful. I will definitely be checking back to see your future projects!
Thanks so much Sara!
I love this idea. I wanted to do some Easter eggs with my daughter but didn’t want to use real eggs because of my allergy.
This is a great project for kids! They love the feel of the wool
This is such a great idea. This is seriously so cute and perfect for Easter. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much Jamie. They are lots of fun and easy enough for kids to do!
These are cute and original. I like that you use plastic eggs as a base so they don’t spoil.
And you can make them in all different sizes!
I love these eggs! Thanks for sharing this tutorial – what a different way to make cute eggs.
Thanks Vicki! And they last forever
Super cute idea. Not sure how well I would do with the glue and the yarn, but easy enough to try it out. Thanks for sharing on Small Victories Sunday link up.
It was a little messy but turned out pretty well. Thank, Rachel!
