Spring eggs in a macramé traffic light

Anleitung No. 1403
Anleitung No. 1403     Difficulty: Beginner  Working time: 30 Minutes

Combine classic creative techniques to a modern spring decoration! The extraordinary decoration eggs are not only in the Easter time a real feast for the eyes.

How to make extraordinary decorative eggs

Prime two papier-mâché eggs with white Handicraft paint. Cut a 1 cm wide strip from of cork paper. The cork paper is self-adhesive. However, to fix this strip even more firmly, glue the cork strip with double-sided Adhesive tape directly to the edges of the upper and lower egg halves.

A bird's nest is now tinkered into a lower half of the egg: Simply stuff it with moss and decoration-Willow and put two small birds inside.

Tie the traffic light

Now shorten 8 threads for each egg Macramé-Yarn to 1 m. Knot them together. For the traffic light of the closed Ice thread 4 threads each on a large wooden bead.

After approx. 27 cm length for the spring egg with bird's nest or after approx. 37 cm length for the longer spring egg, 2 threads are knotted together. Pull up 4 small wooden beads each (at the same height!) and secure them with another knot
After approx. 9 cm of further thread length, 1 thread at a time is knotted with a thread of the neighbouring strand. After approx. 4.5 cm of thread length, again knot 1 thread with the thread of the neighbouring strand, and tie further knots in this way after approx. 4 cm of thread length. Then thread all the threads through a large wooden bead and tie a final knot underneath with all the strands, holding everything together

Decorate each strand with a small finishing bead and cut off the rest of Yarn .
Finally the white decorative egg is placed in the finished Macramé Deco fishing net and the "traffic light" is simply hung up only still decoratively.
