Craft Supplies Needed

How to Make a Felt Easter Egg Garland
Step 1. Thread one end of a long section of twine through the large eye of an embroidery needle. Make a loop and knot at the other end.
Step 2. Thread felt easter eggs onto the twine through the embroidery floss stitches of the felt eggs.
Step 3. Continue adding all of the eggs in any order you choose.
Step 4. Tie another loop and knot at the opposite end of the twine, and trim off any excess. Your felt egg garland is finished, with hanging loops on either end!
Common Questions
Craft stores sell different types of felt, and the quality and pricepoint can differ. The cheapest felt is usually sold in precut rectangles and can be stiff and coarse. Higher-end felt is softer and more expensive, and often comes in a wider range of colors. You can use any type of felt for these eggs! Look for your favorite colors and go from there.
Yes, you could make this with different fabric! The main reasons I love felt are it's easy to work with, cuts easily, and doesn't unravel along the edge. But you could make these eggs and this garland using fleece, flannel, denim, burlap, or any other fabric you have on hand!
Even better? Upcycle old clothing like we did with our DIY stuffed bunny. Use old shirts or pants (or even socks!) to make your DIY eggs!
We decorated our felt eggs with different types of embroidery stitches, and used a blanket stitch around the edge. If you don't want to stitch on the front of your eggs, you can leave them plain. And if you don't want to do a blanket stitch around the edge, you could hot glue the two layers of the felt eggs together. (The egg edges would look different if you do it this way.)
Garlands are one of the best ways to decorate for a new season or holiday. They pack a big punch without being complicated or expensive.
You can let nature help as you collect pinecones to make your own pinecone garland, or preserve fall leaves with Mod Podge to make a colorful leaf garland.
Don't forget, simple craft supplies make some of the best DIY garlands, like this simple tissue paper tassel garland, or even this unbelievable tassel garland made from toilet paper tubes!
This felt easter egg garland will be a showstopper because felt is easy to work with and comes in many beautiful colors. You'll smile every time you see it!
