How to make an Easter egg from threads and a ball

For work you will need:

• balloon. It is better to choose oval in shape, it will be easier to work with it. But, in principle, you can use any. Color does not matter;

  

  The color of the ball can be any

• threads. Choose color, composition (cotton, polyester, wool) and thickness based on personal preference. Well suited "Iris" - the thread has an optimal thickness for work and has a bright saturated color. You can use sewing bobbin threads - the Easter egg will turn out to be more refined and delicate. If this is your first time trying your hand, it is better to choose a thicker thread, for example, yarn for knitting - the number of turns and the execution time will be significantly reduced;

  

  For an Easter egg, you can use Iris yarn

• plastic cup;

  

  To work you need a regular plastic cup

• needle. Its thickness and sharpness should be sufficient to pierce thin plastic, and the size of the eye should be sufficient for threading. The so-called "gypsy" needle is suitable, it is also a bag;

  

  "Gypsy" needle is completely suitable for our task

• PVA glue - about 30 ml;

  

  PVA glue - an indispensable component of an Easter egg made of threads

• water;
• vegetable oil;
• scissors.

Additional accessories to help make your work more comfortable:

• a high pot of water (or other heavy container with vertical walls);

• stationery clip for papers;

  

  A stationery clip for papers is an auxiliary element that will make work more convenient

• oilcloth or paper to cover the work surface and not to stain it with glue during operation.

Stages of work:

1. Inflate the balloon to the desired size. Focus on the size of the egg you want to get. Tie the thread around the hole to keep air out.

2. Shape the ball into an egg. Stretch a little if the ball is too round by grasping the tail and the opposite part. Squeeze lightly with your palms so that the air passes into the other part of the balloon, which should be wider.

3. Lubricate the surface of the ball with vegetable oil. This will ease the last step of the job.

4. Pour some glue into a plastic cup. Do not be afraid to make a mistake with the quantity, if there is not enough glue, then it can be added.

   

   Pour PVA glue into a glass

5. Add the same amount of water and stir well. The mortar will have a thinner consistency than the glue itself, which is convenient to work with. The necessary adhesive properties of the solution will not be affected at this concentration.

   

   Add the same amount of water

6. Thread the needle.

   

   We pierce the glass from below

7. Pierce the glass through the bottom side with a needle. The needle should enter from one side and exit from the opposite. The lower the holes are, the better. So, you can use the adhesive solution rationally.

   

   The needle should come out from the opposite side.

8. Pull the thread through the cup following the needle. At the exit, it should be impregnated with an adhesive solution. If the thread does not sink into the solution and remains dry at the exit, add glue and water in equal amounts to the glass to the required level. Remember to stir the solution until smooth.

   

   After passing through the glass, the thread is impregnated with glue

9. Remove the thread from the needle. The tool has already fulfilled its function and can be put aside.

10. Using a clip-on clip, attach the cup (with glue and string) to a higher container. In this simple way, you will raise the working thread higher, and it will be more convenient to make an Easter egg.

    

    It is better to fix the glass of glue higher

11. Attach the end of the thread to the balloon and, holding it with your fingers, make several overlap turns.

    

    We start wrapping the ball with thread

12. After securing the free edge, continue to wrap the ball with glued thread.

    

    We continue to wrap, creating interesting patterns from threads

13. You can stop at any time. Just cut the thread and press the free end against the ball. Depending on the density of the winding, the ball will be more or less delicate.

    

    If the result of winding pleases with its appearance, we stop (cut the thread)

14. Wait for the glue to dry completely. For drying in natural conditions, it is better to put the ball off for a day. You can speed up the process up to two hours by placing the craft near the heater.

15. Pierce the ball with the tip of a needle. It will burst and you can easily remove it by pulling on the tail. The threads, impregnated with the hardened glue, will remain stiff and retain the shape of an egg.

    

    The ball has fulfilled its role and is no longer needed - we pierce it with a needle and remove it from the egg

How to decorate an Easter egg

To decorate an Easter egg, you can use different materials: beads, beads, rhinestones, sequins. Flowers made of fabric or paper, willow twigs are suitable for decoration. They can be threaded between the strings of an Easter egg or secured with glue. In sewing shops (in the accessories departments) there is a large selection of small decorations made of plastic and metal: flowers, leaves, and so on. As well as multi-colored satin ribbons and ready-made jewelry from them. It is worth paying attention to the buttons. Their shape and appearance can be perfect for decorating an Easter egg. Just show your imagination, and an excellent result will not keep you waiting. Decorations inside an Easter egg look very interesting, for example, chickens, sheep, rabbits or other smaller Easter eggs.

There are two ways to make a basket egg:

• immediately wind the glued thread so that a hole remains. And in order not to be mistaken during winding, draw a line on the ball that you cannot go beyond;

  

  If the thread is wound around the ball, taking into account the hole, the edge will be even

• or cut a hole with scissors when the glue hardens.

  

  The cut hole looks nice too
