How to Measure an Egg

Measuring eggs is important when figuring out how much material you’ll need for egg-decorating projects that involve wrapping ribbon or string around the egg. To measure an egg, wrap a measuring tape around an egg in the same way you plan to use the ribbon. Then multiply the result by the number of eggs you want to decorate, and add a bit extra to make sure you don’t run out. If you don’t have a measuring tape, wrap a length of string around the egg and measure it with a ruler.
