Fasten the thread on the ball best with a sugar solution:

• To make a mixture, dilute a quarter cup of sugar in a saucepan in the same amount of water and put on a stove and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil.
• Then remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Pour the prepared solution into a prepared container.

It can be used for several days, if covered with a polyethylene film and left at room temperature. The only drawback of such a composition is that it can attract insects, for example ants.

How to make an egg with a yolk

A white Easter egg made of threads and a ball can be made with a yolk inside. To do this, you must partially inflate one of the balls so that it is about ¼ filled with air, and then tightly tie the end.

We make the yolk:

1. We cover the working surface with a newspaper to protect it from contamination.
2. Take the yellow yarn or string of mulina and start winding them on the ball in random order.
3. Attach the ball to the tweezers with a clamp and lower it into the sugar solution completely.
4. Then we place the workpiece in a warm place for drying. Do not forget to spread the newspaper under the ball, so that the drops of the solution do not stain the table.
5. Wait until the yolk dries within 24 hours. Make sure the thread is stiff.
6. Puncture the ball with a pin, pull it out with tweezers.

How to make an Easter egg with chocolate

Another option for making this craft is with a chocolate filling. It is best to purchase small sweets wrapped in foil for this purpose. Hollow chocolate without a filling can break. A sharp toy - tear the ball.

Let's start creating an Easter egg from threads with chocolate candies:

1. Stretch the hole of the ball and place it inside the toy or sweets.
2. Inflate it and tighten the end well.
3. Wrap the ball with threads, as in the previous version. Mulina or yarn choose the tone of wrappers of sweets.
4. Dip again in the sugar solution and allow to dry. The place needs to be chosen not too warm, otherwise sweets will deform and lose an attractive appearance.
5. Remove the ball when the egg is completely dry.

In the product, you can cut a hole and fill the bottom with plastic grass or a green sisal. If you make a large testicle, it will become an Easter basket. Sweets and toys are placed in it and given to children for the holiday.
