I will share a little secret about myself, you might have already picked up on it, but I love the holidays, in every way imaginable; the activities, decorations, treats…you name it!

I have to say, I’m a huge advocate for making your own Easter decor. Making your own decorations at home lets you add your own personal touch and it is another opportunity to spend time with family! Who doesn’t love a fun activity to do with the whole family? Since these Easter Eggs are meant to serve as decorations, we will not be using hard-boiled eggs as the base.

DIY String Easter Eggs Tutorial

These DIY string Easter Eggs can be made with yarn for Yarn Easter Eggs, embroidery thread for Embroidery Thread Easter Eggs, or whatever kind of string you like for DIY string Easter Eggs. I personally used embroidery thread as my string of choice since you can get so many different colors. These beautiful eggs are not meant for the Easter egg hunt but rather to decorate the Easter table or your mantle. Let your inner artist shine as you create intricate designs through your color choices, patterns, and gradients.

This type of craft can be called by many names: “embroidery thread-wrapped eggs” or “thread-wrapped decorative eggs” or “string eggs” or “yarn-wrapped eggs”. Depending on the craft material used, they might even be described as:

• “Embroidered Easter eggs” (especially around the holiday)
• “Decorative thread eggs”
• “Textile-wrapped eggs” (a more artsy or gallery-style term)

Craft Supplies For This DIY Easter Egg Decor Project:

• String or Embroidery Thread in a variety of colors
• StyroGlue
• Several styrofoam Easter eggs of various sizes

How To Make String Easter Eggs- Embroidery Thread Easter Egg Craft Tutorial

Add a touch of colorful charm to your seasonal decor with these beautiful thread-wrapped decorative eggs. This simple craft uses embroidery thread to transform plain faux eggs into eye-catching pieces perfect for spring or Easter displays. Here’s how to make these faux Easter eggs.

Step 1

Put a generous amount of styroglue on the center of the top of your egg and spread it around thoroughly using a toothpick.

Step 2

Start with the end of your string and lay it on the adhesive in the center. Slowly manipulate it into a small circle. Once you’ve gone around the circle a few times, start pulling tightly while pushing the string down into the egg to stick (you will only need to push down for the tops and bottoms of the egg).

Step 3

Slowly but tightly wrap the embroidery thread around the Easter egg.

Step 4

Once you have enough of a color, use a pair of scissors to snip the embroidery thread and gently but firmly place the thread down on a small dab of styroglue so that it adheres to the egg.

Step 5

Repeat Step 3 and 4 with additional colors. Once you’ve made it half way, you need switch to the other end and start from there until the entire egg is covered.

Ta-da! You’ve made your very own DIY Easter decor. Plus, these embroidery thread DIY string Easter eggs will be a great conversation piece to have on the coffee table this spring and you can reuse them year after year.  You can see more photos of the embroidery thread Easter eggs I made on my own blog, HansenandHeidelberg.
