Owl Show You Creative: Yarn Eggs

So I decided that I was going to attempt something on Pinterest. Crazy right? Well no not really I am actually one of those people who repins things and then tries them. Well i have almost 1000 pins so not every single one but I do get around to the good ones. So for Easter I made these really cool Yarn eggs with my little brothers and sisters.

Things you need:
Flour
Liquid Starch
Mini Balloons
Colored String (get from Joanns or Michaels)
bowls
spoon
measuring cups

Here are the steps with some pictures:

Here are all the supplies you need. Not that much and very inexpensive.

1. Blow up some smaller balloons to the size you desire.

2. Combine the flour and the liquid starch to make a glue like substance. You will need 1 cup of liquid starch and 1/2 cup of flour.

3. Mix until you get a glue like consistency.

4. Put the embroidery floss into the mixture in a uniform fashion. When I say uniform fashion i mean place the string in inch by inch in a circle around the bowl you are using. If you just place the embroidery floss as is you will end up with a knot.

5. Once you place your embroidery floss into the bowl you then must submerge it into the mixture.

6. THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! Before you are actually wrapping the string around the balloon be sure to run your fingers down the embroidery floss to get the excess glue mixture off the embroidery floss. This is so when it dries it will not be all flaky and showing white chunks everywhere.

7. Wrap the embroidery floss around the balloon in any design that you please. The design above where it looks like a spiral does not work. When you try to hang a spiral design it stretches out and does not look like an egg.

8. This is what it will look like when you have finished wrapping it. This photo shows what it looks like when you do not wipe off the excess glue before wrapping the ballon. We found out the hard way :)
