Download the pattern and use this too keep track of how far you have gotten in the rows. “You can print out the pattern and make a mark when you have completed a row,” Clara suggests. This guide explains how to make the white, pink and green egg as shown in the pattern. With the second part of the pattern, you can choose to make your own design instead. The pattern fits one of Anna and Clara’s small polystyrene Easter eggs.

Thread the beading needle with sewing thread and add 60 white beads to the thread.

Now, you will sew back following the row of white beads. Skip the first white bead and bring the needle and thread through the second bead on the thread. This way, the first row is secured with the first bead. Now, place three pink beads on the thread.

Count four white beads ahead and bring needle and thread through the fourth white bead. Add three pink beads to the thread. Continue counting four white beads ahead and adding three pink beads until you reach the end of the row.

You now have two rows of beads, one white and one pink. Gather the two rows into a circle and place it around the egg. Make sure the white beads are above the pink ones.

Temporarily fasten the circle of beads to the egg with needles. This will make it easier to continue working on the project.

To secure the beads further to the egg, you will now make the row of green beads above the white row. Follow the instructions of the pattern. Start by adding three green beads to the thread and bringing the needle through the fourth white bead. Continue adding three green beads at every fourth white bead to the end of the row.

To secure the rows to the eggs, you can now sew back through all the green beads only with the sewing thread and finish with a few knots.

Continue making rows of beads as shown in the pattern. First, make the rows from the middle and down. Then, make the rows from the middle and up. Make sure you reduce the number of beads at every row as shown in the pattern. When the beads are secured to the egg, you can remove the needles that you used in the middle earlier.

When you reach the bottom or top of the egg, crisscross needle and thread through a few beads to finish the egg and secure the thread.
