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?

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!

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!
