I admit, I got the idea to wrap the eggs from another blog, but I can't remember which one it was and I didn't bookmark it. If I figure it out, I will be sure to give proper credit.
Found it (thanks, Natalie) - here it is, at The Sweet Survival.
She wrapped the easter eggs for a wreath. This was a great idea, however I didn't think I had the time or the patience for all of those eggs, so this centerpiece was just right for me!

While this is not a hard project by any means, it is tedious and time consuming. But the results are wonderful!
I started with the standard plastic easter eggs, bought at the Dollar Tree. Warmed up the glue gun and got four pastel colors of yarn ready.
I began by placing a few dots of glue around the egg in various places...there is no rhyme or reason to the wrapping of my eggs, just wrapped them til they were covered.
I would wrap, put on some glue, wrap some more, put on some glue, wrap...oh, you get the point!
I found the bowl at the thrift store for $2.50 and got the moss at the Dollar Tree...so, all in all, this project cost me about $5. Gotta love it!
My table is officially ready for Easter!

Love it!! I started doing mine the other night and ran out of glue! Grrr... Here's the link for the wreath one! You should send her this link to show her how you tweaked it! http://thesweetsurvival.blogspot.com/2011/03/yarn-egg-wreath.html?showComment=1300125069535#c4969868300523445855

Yea! That is the perfect place for those yarn eggs! It looks great! Natalie - Yes you need LOTS of hot glue.
