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

[Susan Roe]

Heather,

You could always use a thin ribbon and go all the way round once from top to 
bottom of your egg, placing a small amount of glue on the bottom of the egg 
and on the top.  finish off with a bow or loop and then you could still slip 
a regular ornament hanger through the loop or through the bows knot.

foreggs


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.
