Over-Sized Yarn Easter Eggs

Other Supplies

• Water balloons
• Yarn
• Disposable bowl

• Drying rack or coat hanger
• Clothespins

Instructions

1. Inflate a water balloon to your desired egg size. If making multiple eggs, make sure each balloon is the same size.
2. Pour a 4 oz. bottle of Mod Podge Ultra into a disposable bowl (when the craft is finished, the Mod Podge Ultra can be poured back into the bottle for future use!)
3. Cut a piece of yarn as long as possible, while still being manageable (approximately 2 feet).
4. Submerge the strand of yarn in the bowl of Mod Podge Ultra, holding on to one end, so as not to lose it in the bowl.
5. Slowly pull the yarn out with one hand, while wiping the excess Mod Podge from the yarn with the other.
6. Wrap the yarn around the balloon in a random pattern, making sure it crosses over itself many times (this will ensure the sturdiness of the egg when dried).
7. Continue this process until most of the balloon is covered (see project photo for reference).
8. When finished, use a clothespin to hang the balloon by the knot on a drying rack or coat hanger. Let dry overnight.
9. Continue this process for as many balloons as you would like.
10. Feel the yarn after it has dried to ensure it is stiffened. If the yarn feels stiff, pop the balloon and carefully pull it out between the strands of yarn.
