To make the Easter Egg Balloons you’ll need:
- 1″ round office label stickers
- Markers or colored pencils
- Balloons
- Twine
- Color in the round stickers. You’ll want about 24 stickers (or 2 sheets) per balloon. No need to stay in the lines!
- Blow up the balloon, tie a knot and secure with twine. Stick round labels on the balloon to your liking.
- Repeat with additional balloons!
To make the Easter Ear Goodie Bags (i.e. Balloon Weights) you’ll need:
- This template
- A pencil
- Scissors
- A hole punch
- Treat bags that are about 5×7″
- Treats or candy
- Twine
- Print and cutout template. Trace onto the front side of a goodie bag and cutout.
- Laying the template on top of goodie bag, use small circle guides to hole punch (4 per bag)
- Fill with treats.
- Cut about an 8” piece of twine. Thread through the two inside holes. Cinch together and tie knot.
- Thread through the outside holes. Secure with a knot and then tie into a bow.
- Play with the ears until they look how you like. One ear bent down and to the side adds a cute touch!
