Material:Small water balloons (I was lucky to find balloons that were roughly the same size and shape as real eggs)Crochet thread/ embroidery thread/ yarn/string etc.Chocolate, small toys or trinkets to place inside eggsEqual parts granulated sugar and water

Tools:

  • Pin, fine scissors and tweezers
  • Measuring cup, cooking pot, and spoon for stirring
  • Optional: pump for blowing up balloons
Step 2: Making the Sugar Mixture

4To make the sugar mixture:

  • Measure equal parts granulated sugar and water and place in a cooking pot on the stove. I used a quarter cup of each which was more than enough.Best to use refined sugar, I only had organic sugar at home which wasn’t a pure white which may have coloured the yarn a bit darker.
  • Bring to a boil stirring constantly.
  • When sugar is completely dissolved remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Pour into a shallow container.
