Editor's Note: This craft is appropriate for the older crafter or with adult assistance for younger crafters.

Punch six hearts from orange cardstock and adhere in a stack using glue stick.  Set aside to dry fully.

Drill two small holes into top of egg from inside. 

Using embroidery needle, feed yellow embroidery floss through both holes several times leaving a large section outside egg (easiest to wrap around fingers).  Cut at center of floss and tie together in a knot.
