- Attach fishing line or dental floss to individual eggs for a sturdy, long lasting hanger to prevent breakage when hanging eggs outside. You will need the plastic eggs that have holes, but if you don't, you can use a hammer and small nail to make a hole. Take apart the two halves of the plastic egg. Cut a length of fishing line or floss about 15 inches long, double it in half and pass the loose ends down through the hole in the top of each egg. Knot the ends together so they don't pass up through the hole.
- Hanging Easter eggs from indoor trees allows more flexibility in the choice of materials used as hangers. Thread a needle with colored thread and poke the needle through the hole in the plastic egg. Tie off the ends of the thread inside the egg and seal the hole with a drop of hot glue or craft glue. Secure ribbon, thread or twine to the outside of the plastic egg with a drop of hot glue if the egg has no holes.
- Dress up the plain plastic eggs and hangers with beads or ribbons. Plain hangers such as floss or fishing line provide a sturdy option but these hangers aren't very attractive. Thread individual craft beads onto the fishing line, floss or string to make unique hangers for each egg. Tie lengths of ribbons into bows around the loop hanger directly above the top of the plastic egg.
