Materials:
- Styrofoam Egg
- Tri-beads - 3 colors (approximately 65
of each color)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Optional: Eye hook
Optional:
- If you don't want to use a hot glue gun,
get some common pins, the type with the
colored ball on the end, and attach the
beads to the Styrofoam egg by inserting a
pin into each hole in the beads. Be
sure that the ball on the pin is larger than
the hole in the bead. Also, you should
choose pins with a color that matches or
compliments the beads.

Start at the smaller end of the egg.
Apply hot glue to a small section of the
Styrofoam egg and start adding tri-beads.
We put one tri-bead on the tip of the egg then
changed to the second color and made a circle
around the first bead. Then, change to the
third color and make a row with that color.
Go back to color #1 and continue down the egg
alternating between the three colors.
Continue adding glue and beads to the egg
working in small sections at a time until the
egg is completely covered.
Ideas:
- Insert an eyehook through the hole in
the top tri-bead. Use fishing line or
string to hang the egg from a tree, ceiling
fan or wherever you like.
- Make several eggs and display them in a
basket.
