Do you ever start a project then halfway through you wish you hadn’t?

That is what usually happens to me when I start painting a room!

This time, it was a Spring decoration.  An egg decoration to be exact — thanks to Pinterest!

I started with a balloon.  Unfortunately, I didn’t do so well in finding an egg-shaped balloon.

I used Elmer’s Glue to secure the yarn to the balloon.  There was just no easy way to do this without covering my fingers with glue.  It was quite a messy job.  FYI: I USED THE ENTIRE BOTTLE OF GLUE.  I placed a thin layer of glue on the balloon to hold the yarn while I was wrapping it.  Then I rubbed glue on the yard with my fingers once it was wrapped.   (IF I am nuts enough to do this again, I may try to use some type of spray starch.)

This is what the yarn looks like wrapped around the balloon.

I allowed the glue to dry, popped the balloon, and then cut a hole in the front.

I wanted to decorate the inside of the egg, so I purchased this small plastic container to use as a “frame” for a nest.  I glued Spanish moss on the outside and inside of the container.

My little idea actually worked out and it made a cute little nest!

I decorated the nest with a blue bird (that my daughter picked out) and some chocolate malt eggs.

I placed it in the egg, but unfortunately, I’m not thrilled with it.  Sorry it looks kind-of dark in the egg — using my iPhone.

I decided to make a bow and place it on top.  I think it added the finishing touch.

 I also decided to make several small eggs to hang in my dining room.

Well, there you have it.  My yarn eggs and all of their glue glory.

Have a super blessed day everyone!
