Springtime Craft!

Do you remember making the string covered balloons as a kid? I loved making them- and a post on pintrest brought it all back to me. I decided to make a tiny version of my childhood craft to look like Easter eggs. Last weekend was fabulous so my girls and I decided to craft outside. Good thing because this was a little messy. All you need is string, glue, water, spray oil and some small balloons. I recommend "water balloons" for making small egg shapes.

Mix 1 cup of white glue with 2 tablespoons water.
Blow up your balloons to desired "egg" size and spray them with spray oil. This helps the string release.
Now, drag your string through the glue mixture and slop onto the balloon.
Wrap the balloon in all directions until is it evenly covered.
Find a place to hang them overnight. (best way to dry) Make sure you put paper under them.
Carefully pop the balloon and pull it out through one of the spaces in the string.

Easy, messy and fun. Put your eggs on display on a bowl or make a garland out of them by tying them to a ribbon!

Happy Spring!
