I'm trying to be more crafty these days. I'm starting to do some more crafts and paint some more. Here is a craft that I had done for an auction, using mini balloons and embroidery thread. I blew up the balloons and put some chocolate in each one before tying them. Then, I took some liquid starch and dipped the thread into it until it was wet completely. Then I wrapped the balloons with the thread and let it dry overnight.
In the morning, after they were completely dry, I popped the balloons and took out the pieces. I was left with these wonderful eggs with candy inside.
I took an old easter basket and wrapped it in cellophane and tied a bow in top.
Here is the final result :D
As for how it went at the auction, it was one of the higher items, however I don't recall how much it went for. So cute!!
This is a wonderful idea for an easter gift, perhaps for a family that you care about.
Please comment and let me know what you think of these, or if you have any questions.
Happy Saturday!
