Easter Egg Garland You'll Leave Up All Spring

Today we have another fun Easter craft project to share! This DIY Easter egg garland is the perfect Easter decoration for all your holiday celebrations.

This project uses a Mod Podge glue gun, glue sticks, and silicone molds in various shapes. If you head to the craft store, you’ll see these silicone molds in the baking section, jewelry section, and likely the clay section as well.

They are super simple to use and create the funnest (is that a word?) embellishments. Yes, with just hot glue! Here’s what you need to get started on your DIY garland.

Note: If you don’t have any of the Mod Podge products seen in the images below, you can use a hot glue gun, hot glue, and a silicone mold. If you can’t find hot glue sticks in colors, it’s fine. Just use regular hot glue and then paint the embellishments once you release them from the molds.

DIY Easter Egg Garland

Gather These Supplies

  • Hot glue gun
  • Hot glue sticks (in spring colors – or craft paint)
  • Silicone molds
  • Craft paint (optional)
  • Paintbrush (optional)
  • Thumbtack or nail
  • Baker’s twine
  • Scissors
Adding hot glue to a silicone mold

Step 1: Following the instructions from the Mod Melter, dispense the Mod Melts into the Mod Molds. Be sure to fill the cavities all the way to the top. Let cool.

Step 2: After allowing the melts to cool and harden (about 10 minutes), remove from the mold. You can do this by bending the mold and popping the eggs out as shown.

Make a bunch of them in various colors. You can make white ones and paint them, too. This would be the time that you would do that with regular craft paint in whatever colors you like. Aren’t these eggs so cute and colorful?! They’ll make a perfect Easter egg banner!

Step 3: Poke holes in the eggs using a thumbtack or nail. Be careful and protect your work surface so you don’t make any holes.

Step 4: String the eggs on baker’s twine or something similar. Do this by cutting a long length of baker’s twine and adding a few extra feet just for good measure.

Starting in the middle of the string, put the twine through the hole and tie a knot in the back. Grab another color egg and work your way out to the left or right.

Keep going until your Easter egg banner is complete – until all of the eggs have been strung and you are satisfied with the length. Then trim using scissors.
