[Nfb-krafters-korner] looking for suggestions to make "hangers" foreggs

[River Woman]

Welcome home Heather - enjoy your STUFF!
Can you insert a wire or ribbon up through the bottom of the eggs and out 
through the top to hang them with the loop that you can make at the top? A 
lovely tassel would be amazing hanging from the eggs - can buy very small 
ones at craft stores - would make them very elegant. Also, you could make 
some, or a tiny pom-pom out of glittery yarns?  Would be easy to make and 
would hold the ribbon or wire in place and give a little balance weight at 
the bottom of the egg.

I'm finally headed home on Thursday! It's been great, but seven weeks on the 
road, with a little surgery thrown in along the way, is just a bit much! I'm 
feeling MUCH better now and looking forward to getting home to my stuff (and 
my crafts and artwork in my studio!).

I have a project I want to do, but need a little help or some suggestions. I 
spent part of my childhood in Germany. There, we had Easter trees (like 
Christmas trees without the greenery). We hung Easter eggs from the tree 
(usually like a big branch) as one would hang Christmas ornaments.

I have a ton of paper mache eggs. I got them on sale after Easter last year 
very cheap, so I bought a ton of them. I want to decorate them like Easter 
eggs. I'll probably paint them, and maybe use some beads to make them more 
tactile. My trouble is every sort of hanger I've made for them in the past 
seems to fall off too easily.

Does anyone have ideas for this? I've tried floral wire and ribbon super 
glued to the top. It doesn't work well.
