You know we love a good upcycling craft and this latest DIY is another way of using and reusing what you already have. We’ll show you how to turn some plastic Easter eggs into decorative twine wrapped eggs with pretty metallic painted accents to style for Easter.
Plastic Easter Egg Craft
We have an abundance of these plastic eggs lying around from all of the Easter egg hunts we’ve enjoyed with the kids over the years. And although they are still participating in them, we “borrowed” a few for crafting purposes. Afterall, kids can’t have all the fun;).
There are many creative uses for those plastic eggs so before you toss them away, check out these fun plastic Easter egg crafts. We previously made this DIY Easter Wreath with chalky painted Easter eggs and I love how easy and cute this Dollar Store Easter egg wreath looks!

How to Make Twine Wrapped Easter Eggs
Preheat glue gun and then apply a dab of hot glue to the bottom of the plastic egg.
Press the end of the twine into the glue and carefully hold in place until glue sets.
Apply another dab of glue next to the first dab and wrap the twine around.
Working small sections at a time, continue applying glue around the egg and wrapping the twine in the glue.
Keep the twine snug as you work your way around the egg covering the plastic egg underneath.
When you get close to the top of the egg, cut the twine to the length needed and glue it in place at the top.
Dip the paintbrush into metallic paint in color of your choosing and paint random stripes on to the twine wrapped eggs.
Paint a combination of stripe patterns on the eggs.
