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 seeing jute eggs and letters online. 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?
These are so cute! You are right it is a easy peasy project. My daughter would love making these. Thanks for another great craft project!
I love this look, I could see these being out year round.
Those are SO cute! I love the look of decorating anything with twine, it’s so fun.
So pretty! They look like expensive Easter decor from a fancy boutique. I’ll have to make some. Thanks!
This is just so simple and pretty that I had to share on Twitter and Pinterest! 🙂
Oh how cute and love the colors.
They turned out beautifully. I would use them on an Easter tablescape.
This 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.
I just made some of these the other day and can’t wait to give them out to my daughter’s friends, they’re having a Easter Party. I love how cute yours turned out though.
How clever! Is it weird that they remind me of bald baby girls with those lacy bow headbands on?! 😛
You are so funny, TerriAnn. But now that you’ve mentioned it….
