Trim decorative cardstock to 11" x 11" and cut out a large egg shape in the center.
Place decorative cardstock onto the center of a sheet of 12"x12" white cardstock to trace the egg shape. Use Removable Glue Dots to hold the cardstock in place while tracing. Set aside decorative cardstock when finished.
Beginner: Apply Premium Permanent GlueTape around the outline of the egg. Cut strips of yarn and adhere to cardstock one piece at a time, creating any pattern.
Advanced: Design egg as desired.
To create a three-dimensional spiral circle, apply a Pop Up Glue Dot to the cardstock and place end of yarn in center. Wrap yarn around itself tightly, pushing down into Pop Up Glue Dot until the adhesive isn't visible. Trim yarn and tuck end under Glue Dot with fingernail or other pointed object.
