I keep trying to tell myself that it’s too early to start sharing Easter projects, but then I realized that Easter is only 4 weeks away. AND it is after St. Patrick’s Day. I made these jute wrapped eggs for Easter, but in all honesty they would be nice to have in the house year round. Just place the jute covered eggs into a basket or bowl, and onto the coffee table for an eye catching centerpiece.
My inspiration came from these jute eggs and letters. To pretty mine up for Easter I added bits of ribbon and ribbon roses. The inspiration eggs were made using a hot glue gun, but I found that clear craft glue worked just fine and didn’t burn my fingers – making this a fun project that the kids can help with.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
Paper Mache Eggs (I picked mine up at the craft store.)
Jute Twine (Mine came from Dollar General.)
Clear Craft Glue
Scissors
Scraps of ribbon, lace, and ribbon roses
Instructions:
To begin, glue down the jute on the pointy end of an egg. Glue and wrap. Glue and wrap, working your way round the egg, being careful to fill any gaps. Finish off the other end of the egg, and you’re done. Use pieces of lace, ribbons, and ribbon roses to adorn the eggs. On one of mine, I made a jute bow and glued it on.
That’s it. Easy peasy! What projects have you done with jute twine?
Now that you’re thinking about Easter, check out the cute Easter Rice Krispies Treats that Angela shared last week!

March 22, 2014 at 11:51 PMThis is a very cute project. I think I would tweak this project idea and wrap the paper mache eggs with ribbon instead of jute. Thank you for sharing this great craft idea.

nicole dz says
March 26, 2014 at 2:40 AMcan you use plastic eggs, like the ones you use in easter egg hunts that open to fill, I figured you can just glue the 2 pieces together and then wrap them as you have shown, cause I always have tons of these left over after easter. Love this idea!
Angela says
March 26, 2014 at 9:15 AMPlastic eggs would totally work!
