Materials:

Egg
Ribbon
Faux flowers and/or leaves
Twine

Tools:

Scissors
Hot glue and glue gun

Instructions:

To begin with, you are going to need a hollow egg. 
First, wash off your egg and dry it. Next, poke holes in both ends of your egg using a needle. A large needle is ideal, as you do not want a really tiny hole. You will need to puncture the egg yolk, or it won’t come out. Then, blow into one of the holes. The white and yolk should spill out the opposite end. Once that is done, wash the egg as well as you can, and then set it aside to dry. Needless to say, you must do all this carefully.

Apply some hot glue to the top of your egg. Do this carefully so that you do not weaken the egg and break it. Attach one end of a piece of twine to the top of the egg.

Begin winding the twine around and around your egg, gluing as you go, and work your way down.

Pause what you are doing with the twine when it is about halfway down to the center of the egg. Get a narrow, small strip of ribbon, which you will use to create a loop or “handle” for the egg. Use hot glue to attach each end to opposite sides of the egg. You want to attach the ends a ways below the level the twine is at.

Once the glue on the ribbon ends has dried, you can resume what you were doing with the twine, continuing to work your way around and down the egg. Cover up the ribbon ends. That way the ribbon loop will emerge from underneath the twine.

Continue with the twine until you have covered the egg completely.

At this point, your egg will look like this:

Now, it is time to decorate it.

I had a wide, decorative ribbon to use, so I wrapped it around the center of the egg and glued it in place.

As a final step, I used hot glue to attach a faux flower and leave it to the egg.
