How to Make an Easter Egg Garland
When we moved into our new house, we had a beautiful fireplace but no mantel! We ordered one on Etsy, which is now one of my favorite places to decorate for the holidays.
I purchased a lambs ear garland from Hobby Lobby that I can leave up year-round, but I wanted something more colorful for my spring decor.
Supplies:
- Plastic Easter Eggs
- Twine
- Pearl Beads
- Yarn Needle (Optional)
Thread Eggs on Twine
Start by choosing your eggs. I found some sparkly glitter eggs from Dollar Tree. I used one and a half packages of eggs for my garland, but I could have easily used all of them.
I found the perfect spring twine colors for my garland, but any string or yarn will work. Cut the twine as long as you want your garland to be.
Thread the three colors of twine onto a large yarn needle.
Note: If you don’t have a large enough needle for your project, you can tightly wrap a piece of tape around the end of your twine to make it easier to thread through the eggs.
Almost all plastic eggs have small holes at either end of them. (I believe this is a safety precaution in case someone accidentally swallows them.)
Tie a double knot at the end of the twine to keep the eggs from falling off.
Open the egg and thread the twine through one end, through the middle, and then out the other side.
Be careful not to get the twine caught between the two egg halves. Then, close the egg back up and slide it down the twine.
Add Bead Between Eggs
I added a plastic pearl bead between each egg. This step is optional, but I liked the way it looked better without the eggs touching.
I actually made the garland first without beads, but I like it much better with them.
On a few of my eggs, the holes were closed up. I used my piercing tool to easily re-poke the hole.
Continue this process until you reach the end of the twine. Tie another double knot at the end to prevent the eggs from falling off.

That’s it! See how easy that was? This took me less than 10 minutes to make, and that was mostly because I stopped to take pictures and videos of the project.
I purchased all my supplies at Dollar Tree, so it cost me only $5 to make (two bags of eggs, one package of twine, and one package of beads).
