How to make a Lighted Easter Egg Garland
Supplies:
- Diamond Easter Eggs
- Mini LED Light Strand
- Drill and Drill Bit
If you can’t find the eggs at Dollar Tree, you can get them from Oriental Trading, Michaels, and Amazon.
Dollar Tree recently had these adorable plastic see-through Easter eggs. I picked up a few packages, knowing I wanted to make something with them.
I also had an extra battery-powered LED light strand sitting around that I bought on Christmas clearance. Combining the two together to create a lighted Easter egg garland would be too cute!
First, you will drill a hole in the top (or bottom) of each Easter egg. I used a 5/32″ drill bit, but you may need a different size for your particular light strand. You want to create a hole big enough for the light to fit through.
Do this for all your eggs, then push the lights into the drilled holes.
This project is so easy and fun. I completed the whole strand in less than 10 minutes.

How do you keep the lights from falling out?
Laura Silva says
I made sure the drill bit I used was the same size as my lights. I haven’t had any trouble with them falling out. I am sure you could secure them with a little hot glue though if you were having trouble with them staying. The LED lights don’t get very hot, so I think this should work well!

I tried this using the same plastic eggs, but even with a brand new drill bit they cracked. I did find it very easy to melt the hole with a heated nail, but you need to do this outside, it really stinks.

Dennis,
Thanks so much for sharing what worked for you! I am not sure what I did differently where my eggs didn’t crack, but the heated nail sounds like a great work around. Have a great week!
