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?
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!
