Create an entire basket of eggs covered in different colors of ribbons! These can be all one color eggs, or you can use different colors of ribbon for the striped effect shown here. Because of the overlap areas at the top of the bottom of the egg, you’ll want to use a combination of hot glue and pins to keep the ribbons in place.

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 20 minutes
Age range: 10+

Things you’ll need:
Styrofoam egg
Sequin pins
Narrow (3/8″ or 1/4″) ribbon
Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
Scissors
A button or other embellishment

Things to do:
1. Wrap one ribbon around the egg vertically and trim to fit with a slight overlap.

2. Once you’ve determined the size, pin in place. Wrap the ribbon around the egg, remove the pin, and then pin both ends to the top of the egg.

3. Repeat with a second ribbon.

4. Continue adding ribbons. At some point you might need to switch to hot glue if pinning becomes too difficult.

5. When fully wrapped, your egg should look similar to this.

6. Cut a piece of ribbon a few inches long and fold two sections over each other, making loops that look like a bow. Glue each loop in place and trim the excess.

7. Hot glue a button or other embellishment to the top for a finishing touch.
