  • Lace trim
  • Tacky glue or low-temp hot glue
  • Small paintbrush
  • Sharp scissors
  • Toothpicks or wooden skewers
  • Small bowl or cup
  • Optional: thin ribbon tiny buttons, dried flowers

Method
 

  1. Prepare your eggs and workspace by laying a towel on the table.
  2. Clean and dry real eggs if using them; sand wooden eggs if necessary.
  3. Trim a length of twine and glue the end to the egg.
  4. Wrap the twine around the egg, keeping it straight and smooth.
  5. Cut the twine when satisfied and glue the end down.
  6. Plan your lace placement by laying strips on the egg.
  7. Apply glue with a brush to the lace or the egg.
  8. Press the lace down using a toothpick for secure adherence.
  9. Add embellishments if desired.
  10. Allow the eggs to dry in a cushioned holder.

  12. Brush a light coat of diluted glue or sealant over the egg for durability.
  13. Reflect on the finished eggs, noting their unique touches.

Notes

Use a low-temp glue gun for delicate lace. Handle real eggs with care, as they are fragile.
