Can you use a very think AWL to make the holes, or a long needle tool that
is used in pottery making?

Thanks Ramona! The eggs are pretty stable, but in the past I've had a hard
time getting the needle to poke out the other side. I never tried pipe
cleaners though. I'll give that a try. I like them as they aren't nearly as
fragile as blown eggs. I put a sealer on them so that mosture doesn't
damange them, and then decorate over that.

Heather, how fragile are the eggs? If you can find something for a little
disc or square on the bottom, then I would think you can push a needle
through the egg and hang it with the thread that was in the needle. But you
would probably need a thin piece of plastic or maybe even aluminum foil at
the end of the thread to keep the knot from pulling through. If the paper
mache is pretty stable, then try pipe stem cleaners. You can use a little
bend on the bottom and bend a loop on the top. That's the easiest way if the
eggs won't fall apart.
I never thought of an Easter tree. Good idea!

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.
