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?

Is jute twine also known as hemp twine? I have never heard of jute and it seems to really resemble hemp. I really like the natural look of this decor!

So simple and elegant! I just bought some foam eggs wondering how I could dress them up. I’m going to do this, and put them in a nest on a wreath! Thanks for the great idea through Mandy’s Recipe Box link party.
I have never done any projects with Jute Twine, and if I did I want to make these amazing Wrapped eggs.They are so cute and different and I would put them on my coffee table.
these are really cute, and with the brown color they remind me of fresh from the farm eggs. And pretty easy to make just with some small brown rope.
Those are so pretty and decorative!
These are so cute! Thanks for linking up at the Create Link Inspire party! Pinning now!
those look amazing and would make great gifts as well. thanks for the great idea.
Super cute! Sending ♥ from ultimate linky party.
These are wonderful!
can 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!
Plastic eggs would totally work!
These are so pretty!! I hadn’t seen the cardboard eggs like that. I need to find them!
I hopped over from Worthwhile Wednesdays.

Don’t put your eggs all in one basket unless they are this pretty. These look wonderful. Totally my style. If you have not shared at the Bacon Time linky yet, please do!
These are adorable and so easy to make. You could even use different colors of string for added variety!
These are adorable! Now I have to convince my husband I should go to the craft store…
Stopping by from The Wednesday Roundup. A big thank you for joining our party and sharing this beautiful craft! I love the look of the jute! ~Angela @ LeMoine Family Kitchen

I’m with you I was a lil worried about getting Easter items, crafts out to soon but then I said the heck with it . My motto is if it make u happy than do it. Your idea above is really cute and elegant I would like to make a couple different ones with just 1 main color put in a basket and people could leave it out all year if they wanted,
You did a wonderful job on these adorable wrapped eggs. I like that they are rustic looking, yet so pretty with the flowers, ribbons and lace.
They came out beautiful. Thank god they are paper mache cause you said all year round and I thought that that would be awful to smell

What a neat craft. I like how simple they are and the pastel colored embellishments really give them that spring look.
These eggs are so cute,and cheap to make too.
First time I have seen eggs done like this. They look great. I suppose you could use yarn if jute is not available.
Love, love, love these!! So cute and so clever!! You made it look so doable – I am going to give it a try!!
Pretty! I love that you made them with simple supplies. Thank you so much for linking up to my party this week, you are today’s Dare to Share Feature of the Day!
cutest idea ever!! I am totally doing this with my girls!!
These are so beautiful! I really love the spring colors against the color of the jute, it really makes these eggs stand out! We would love if you have time to link up to our Snickerdoodle Sunday sometime!
i like these jute wrapped eggs. they are totally different. they would make beautiful eggs for the Easter holiday for decorations on the table. really look classy.
I like this idea! You could do this on cheap little rubber balls, and use for any time of year.
Thanks for sharing.
These eggs are so pretty! I love the twine with the pretty pastel colors! I’m pinning these to my Easter board!
