For original Easter eggs, you need to buy either moulins (colored threads for embroidery) or threads used for crocheting or knitting. And you will also need a natural adhesive to attach the threads to the eggs. Use egg white - add a tablespoon of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of citric acid to it. Beat all ingredients to stiff peaks.

Boiled eggs are smeared with gluten and wrapped with threads, carefully pressing them so that they stick well.

In the same way, beads, threads with beads, and colored millet can be glued to eggs. If you get bored, you can apply "embroidery" on the eggs made of colored beads - choose the desired pattern and place the beads on the egg smeared with egg white glue in the appropriate pattern.
