There are several videos that show how to make them on youtube. It looked so cute that I wanted to give it a try. This is how I did it.
First I squeezed a foiled chocolate egg or two into the water balloons. This is quite a difficult task, but not impossible.
Once that was done, I blew up the balloons to the desired size and made a knot.
So far it's fairly straightforward. Now onto the messy part. I used a simple crafting glue (or children's glue) and mixed it with some water. Then I cut off several lengths of thread in desired colours and started with putting one in the glue. Once completely soaked I got it out, carefully squeezing exess glue out (with the second egg, the first one dripped all over the plastic). Then I randomly wrapped it around the balloon. This goes on untill the chocolate eggs can no longer fall out of the holes between the thread.
After that it's just a matter of letting it dry and popping the balloon. Then you have a cute egg shaped box with chocolate eggs inside!
Underneath are some pictures of my attempt (note that they're not dry yet, so the balloon's still in there):
Here's a link to just one of the youtube diy video's, in case you want to give it a try!DIY easter decoration
Enjoy!
