Three Places to Find Plastic Eggs:

Of course, you can find them at the Dollar Sote, but here are three other places you can find them that could be even cheaper!

Thrift Store – People donate these all the time. Sometimes you can pay less for a whole lot of them.
Ask Friends – A lot of people toss them each year because they don’t want to store them. Rescue them baby!
Amazon – If you want a larger quantitiy, Amazon is convienant, shop from home, and it could be cheaper than the dollar store. Here is a pack of 300 for around .07 each egg.

I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and true love. Don’t even try to tell me different. – Dolly Parton

How to Make Twine Eggs:

Preheat 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 in place until 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.
