TWINE-WRAPPED PLASTIC EGGS CRAFT INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by preheating the glue gun.

Apply a dab of hot glue to the bottom of the plastic egg.

Press the end of the twine into the glue and carefully hold it in place until the glue sets.

Apply another dab of glue next to the first dab and wrap the twine around.

Working small sections at a time, continue applying glue around the egg and wrapping the twine in the glue.

Keep the twine snug as you work your way around the egg, covering the plastic egg underneath.

When you get close to the top of the egg, cut the twine to the length needed and glue it in place at the top.

To paint the stripe, dip the paintbrush into metallic paint in the color of your choosing and paint random stripes onto the twine-wrapped eggs.
