Instructions in 4 steps The pure new wool can be easily felted onto the styrofoam egg by means of the felting tool. The artwork can be further enhanced with the florist’s wire and cords.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scissors, ruler

And this is how it works:

Step 1

First cut off a piece of wool in the desired colour and wind it around the egg until about half the egg is covered. Start felting the wool by making small stitches with the felting tool. The more often and more densely you stitch, the more compactly the egg is felted. Ensure that the needle is inserted as vertically as possible.

Step 2

Cut 2.3 m of jute cord for each egg and affix it at the bottom of the egg with a tiny drop of hot-melt glue. From this starting point, wind the jute cord around the egg so that it lies side by side. Always use some hot-melt glue to affix it. The winding ends where the wool felt begins.

Step 3

Shape a piece of wire into a flower (of about 30 cm) or bunny ears (of about 20 cm) for each egg. Affix them with a bit of holt-melt glue and decorate them with the wooden flower-shaped pieces and decorative feathers to your liking.

Step 4

If you want to hang your egg, cut a piece of jute cord about 25 cm long, fold it in half and affix both ends to the felt wool by means of a tiny drop of glue.
