Easter Egg Garland

Another twist on Easter garland is to craft the garland out of real, dyed, blown-out eggs!
Dyed in fresh spring hues they are light enough to make a great seasonal swag anywhere
in your home.

How to: use a bead-making needle threaded with stretchable jewelry cord. Attach the
garland to the banister using additional cord; tie on lush satin ribbon.

Editors' tip: to blow out an egg, use a push pin to put a hole in each end. Gently push a wooden skewer through one end to enlarge hold and break yolk. Blow into smaller hole. (via BHG). They also have egg blower tools available at most craft stores.

Don't have a staircase? How about using the garland over windows, a mantel or a hallway mirror as shown on Martha Stewart.
