most EGG-cellent banner

I know we are all in a mad dash to get our Easter brunch menu all squared away, helping the Easter bunny get all the supplies needed for basket making, and of course we can forget our Spring Decorations.
Hopefully we have a box of "yearly" stuff to choose from but us crafters always need to be creating and if you are anything like me then you are still making some goodies to add to this years decorations.

Here is something that I came up with simply by accident - happens alot.
I bought these Easter eggs in the dollar spot at Target and noticed these holes in the top and bottom.
interesting right?

Before I get ahead of myself let me give you the supplies you need - all of which I am sure you have in your stash...you need some plastic eggs (with holes) some bakers twine or thin string (to fit into holes)

also some scissors and some miscellaneous bits of fabric
to match your decor


So begin to string the eggs on the twine like this:


then cut small strips of fabric and tie between the eggs in a random order


and tah-dah - easy and quick little  bit of Spring and you could totally make this longer
using a few bags of eggs...


here it is added to my Spring Mantel!




and here is a close up. I love it and my kids have already asked me for one for their room...

Well I hope you liked this fun banner

I am linking this to the following parties:


have a great day
