| Make fun felted egg for Easter - Kansas City Star Mar 26th 2012, 10:59 Easy to make (with the help of your washing machine), these vibrantly colored eggs will brighten your Easter year after year. You will need:- Plastic eggs- Electrical tape- Wool roving(ASTERISK)- 100-percent wool yarn (optional)- Panty hose leg- Twist ties1. First, seal the eggs with electrical tape. For each egg, pull three 4- to 5-inch-long sections from the wool roving. Spread the wool out fl at so that each piece is roughly 4 inches square. 2. Wrap one piece of the wool around a plastic egg. 3. Wrap a second piece of wool around the egg, with the fibers perpendicular to the first. Repeat with the third wool piece, laying the fibers perpendicular to the second. 4. Add designs with small tufts of wool roving or, for narrower stripes, pieces of wool yarn. 5. Place the wrapped egg into the panty hose without shifting the wool, by gripping the egg in one hand and carefully working your hand into the hose. Slide your hand out, then cinch the hose with a twist tie. Add eggs to the hose, separating them with twist ties. 6. Wash the tube of felted eggs in a washing machine on hot, then dry them in a dryer. The process will shrink and tighten the wool around the plastic. Remove the eggs from the hose and they will be ready to be part of your fun Easter decorations. (ASTERISK)Wool roving is sold by weight at many yarn and craft stores (single-color packs range from $2 to $4.75). We found that about 1/8 ounce (.125 ounce) of roving will cover one egg.2012, FamilyFun. Visit them at http://familyfun.go.com/ .
