Hi everyone its Bridget here again.
This time I am sharing with you a Easter craft you can do with your children.
Easter String eggs.
What you need:
Helmar Craft and Hobby PVA Glue
Water
Embroidery Floss
Water Balloons
First step is to blow up some water balloons.
Cut arm lengths of embroidery floss (about 6-8 per balloon)
Mix up a bowl of Helmars craft and hobby PVA glue. You want it watery but still sticky. Enough so the glue can soak into the thread.
Now for the messy part. Take a piece of floss and soak in in the water glue mixture.
As you pull the floss from the bowl "wring" out the excess glue between your fingers. It is important to do this step, Helmar glue is so strong that when we didn't it stuck to the balloon too much resulting in a string egg fail.
Then just wrap it randomly around the balloon until your happy with the look.
Look at that concentration!!
Now the messy part is over you just need to let them dry over night. We put ours in egg cups, but your could hang them up.
After they have dried its time to pop the balloon and then your left with your string egg.
You can display them many ways hanging up or in a bowl.
This was a great craft do do with the kids they loved the messy aspect of it, and think the string eggs are a awesome decoration. What Easter craft are you doing with your children this year using Helmar glue?
Thank you for joining me again, Happy crafting.
