Easter Tree

We love to put a little something seasonal up on the table and this Easter Tree was so much fun to decorate with the boys! Just beware that when you use glitter and you have little people around there is no containing it :)

 

 

First you will need some:

 

Yarn

Glue

Water Balloons

Plastic Eggs

Glitter

String or Wire for hanging them

A branch from your backyard

To make the Yarn Orb/Eggs: Blow up the water balloons to the desired size and tie them. Pour some glue in a bowl and add a little bit of water and stir in up until it is an easily stirrable consistency. Put some yarn away from the spool and send the yarn through the glue ( make sure to run the yarn between your fingers to remove excess glue - this step does get a little messy) before going onto the balloon. Wrap in around in no particular fashion until you like how full it is. Then allow the yarn-balloons to dry on top of glasses (make sure to turn them after a few hours so the underside can dry too. Its take a good 24 hours for them to fully dry.

 

To Make the Glitter Eggs: Smear the plastic eggs with glue and roll/sprinkle with glitter! So easy and so cute!

 

Add string or Wire to your eggs and hang them on your tree! I also borrowed the stuffed sheep from the boys room and a picture frame where I make sure the true reason for Easter is displayed!

 

Hope you enjoy this simple and fun project with your kids!
