Happy Easter! I am in love with my colorful Easter Banner I made this year. Yes, it’s the dreaded twine (I used embroidery floss) over balloons. Sounds fun and messy right! Well, gather your favorite colored twine, { I couldn’t find twine in the right colors, so I used embroidery floss.} water balloons and some glue.

Step 1: Blow up several water balloons. {This can be tricky and make your mind a little fuzzy, but I promise if you endure it will be worth it}. Don’t mind my drop cloth 🙂

Step 2: Tape down the part of the balloon that you blow in. Not sure what its real name is. Let’s call it the “neck”.

Step 3: Mix together equal parts white glue and water. First I dumped the floss into a cup of the glue/water solution. Umm… don’t do this. All I got was a huge tangled mess of embroidery floss. So instead I used a plate of the solution and zig zagged the floss through it so I could wrap a whole bunch at once. Wrap the balloons in a random pattern with your soaked twine or floss.

Step 4: Let them dry {I let mine dry for several days until the balloons started shrinking.} Pop the balloons and then remove using tiny scissors and tweezers. These are my fabulous eggs with the wrinkled up, popped balloons still inside. Pretty right?

FINAL STEP: String them onto any type of twine, ribbon etc. or just put them in a pretty dish for Easter.

Hope this gets you inspired to create something special for your house for Easter too! Happy Easter!
