Egg Garland Tutorial
Spring has sprung and it is time to decorate. Pulling down all of the winter decor we now start thinking about color and flowers. One of my favorite things to decorate for is spring! I love the colors, the flowers, the baby animals (you know me- I love baby animals), ok I admit it I love everything about it.
A few years ago we made this egg garland out of a bunch of our chicken eggs. This is super easy to make and so cute! The perfect touch of farmhouse spring! We love to use the eggs from not just our white egg layers but our colorful egg layers to add the pastel colors of spring to the garland.
We had so much fun working with grandma cottage as she taught us to blow eggs and told us about the times that she did this with her own mother to decorate for spring at their home. We thought this would be a great way to share some of our traditions with you.

Step 4:
Measure the area where you want to put the garland and add a little bit more if you want to swag it.
Step 5:
Tie a knot in one end of the twine, you want it big enough that the egg won’t slip over it. Gently push the string through both holes in the egg, and continue adding eggs until you reach your desired length. You can use a needle with a large eye if you have trouble getting it through. Tie another knot in the string and you are done.
