by Ingredients
• Netting
• Eggs
• String
• Small scissors
• Small sac float (optional, for floating egg sacs)
• Small lid (optional, a baby food lid works great)
Steps
- Place a 4 inch by 4 inch square of netting over the small lid (or flat on a table).
- Put your desired amount of eggs onto the center of the netting. The lid can be used as a pocket for the eggs to sit in, so they do not roll away.
- Optional: If you want your egg sac to float, add a small float to your pile of eggs and continue normally.
- Fold the corners in, towards each other to create a sac for the eggs.
- Pull the eggs down to the bottom of the sac as you pinch and twist the open end to close it. Twist the closure as tight as you prefer.
- Leaving about 4 inches of tag end, wrap the thread around the twisted closure clockwise 3 or 4 times and trim the extra from the spool. Wrap the loose tag end 3 or 4 times around the closure in the opposite direction and remove the excess thread.
- Use scissors to cut the extra netting off the top of the egg sac.
