Yarn Easter Eggs
Intro: Yarn Easter Eggs
Egg shaped yarn balls/form.
After I made these, I learned that when my aunt made these years past, she would completely cover the balloons with string.

STEP 2: Hang Balloons
blow up a few balloons and hang them from somewhere, like the kitchen light. Make sure that the string is tied tight because the balloons will get heavy.
You can use whatever type of balloon you want, I just had water balloons

STEP 3: Make Glue
Pour one cup of water and one cup of sugar into the pot and heat. Let it boil for a few minutes. It tastes good, but it's hot so be careful. :)
STEP 4: Wrap
Take the pot of hot sugar water to your balloons. Put a sheet or two of newspaper underneath so you don't ruin the table or at least make it all sticky.
Dunk and soak a whole bunch of string or yarn in the sugar water.
Start to wrap the sticky yarn all about the balloon, go in a criss-cross pattern to make it stronger. Pretty much go nuts wrapping the yarn around the balloon until you run out.
Repeat if you so choose. I probably could have put a bit more on all of mine.
Warning: The sugar water was just boiling --> it's hot.

STEP 5: Let Dry
Now just let the balloons and yarn dry. While you wait hurry and clean your scissors, table, pot so they all don't become stuck to everything. Also swap out the newspaper.
Once dry, pop the balloons and pick them out.
Now you have a Yarn/String Easter Egg! Feast on candy and be merry.
