I didn't know the kids were coming for Easter, twas a last-minute decision. I hurriedly hung my eggs.
This is some old wool I bought at a Zellers store that was closing. It is interesting, in that it shimmers in the wind (you can see it in the video, below). The eggs were from the dollar store.
I remember, in the teaching years, doing proper egg colouring with wax, a stylus and dipping them. I would have art centres in my classrooms. The kids would rotate in and out of the centre, using the heated wax on top of an electric heater. They were real eggs, not blown as they are stronger. They so enjoyed it. I haven't done this since I retired in 2006. They are great memories, though.

I like the idea of a egg tree - it looks like fun even in the snow
thanks for your visit to my blog, have a lovely day.
wonderful that you could pull a celebration together at last minute and in a festive way. sounds and looks wonderful.
What a great and fun egg tree! Love how you made bunting out of them. :)
It looks like you decorate the whole bush. what great fun for the kids.
That's the first I've heard of an egg tree. The cat looks perplexed.
What a different take on the theme but certainly 3d is allowed if created which this is. Your photos really show just how lovely these eggs with the thread you chose are, as they blow in the breeze etc. I'm sure the kids loved them!
Thank you for your visit to CT and supporting the community, Jen. Maybe we will get to see you next time around? It would be fun to see what you came up.
By the way, it looks like you live in a lovely area. Love that forest of trees there.
How MAGICAL, Jenn!
Oh how fun to have a Easter Tree. Loved your pictures. Very delightful.
Jenn,
I've never seen an egg tree. Certainly brings colour to the bare branches. Nice to meet you.
Blessings,
Janis
