String and Balloon Easter Eggs
Blow up the balloon and secure with a knot. Dip the string in the starch or glue mixture and wrap around the balloon in all directions. When you have the balloon covered like a thick spider web, set it aside for a day or two to dry.
Pop the balloon with a pin and carefully remove. Cut a hole in the side of your egg, fill with grass and treats!
Below are some better directions than what I remember.

- In my childhood, we blew the insides out of the eggs (through a tiny hole in the bottom), then after we painted it, we could keep it forever!
