Easter Eggs in the Trees

We finished part two of our garden Easter decorating today. We took plastic Easter eggs, strung heavy-duty thread through them using a sewing needle and hung them from our front-yard oak tree.

The smaller solid colored eggs were super easy to string because each egg already had two small holes at the top for the needle to pass through. The striped eggs didn’t have holes in them, but I was able to use the needle to punch holes (although I did need to push the needle against a piece of wood – it was too hard to puncture the plastic with my hand strength alone).

We hung 18 eggs, which seems like a lot but on the huge tree it really doesn’t look like that many at all. I’m interested to see if they all stay in the tree until Easter in two weeks, or if they blow off in the wind. I tried to hook each one securely on its branch.
