For a glo-bug all you do is start your thread, Place a properly sized segment of yarn on top in a soft loop. Pull the long end of the yarn until the clipped end of the yarn bundle is in the exact right spot. Apply three more wraps of thread atop the soft loop, then three or four around the thread holding the yarn on. (Between the hook and the yarn)

Now whip finish and glue. Both ends of the yarn are now held straight up above the hook and clipped straight across one time. Keep it straight and level.

Now fluff up the egg... Or just toss it in the box until it is time to fish it...

Literally a 15-second fly and it is extremely effective.

Edit to add there is no waste as the yarn is dragged to exactly the right length and the long end is trimmed to match. The first and last egg may waste a trace of yarn, but it is not a big deal.
I think I'm with you, but pics of at least the key points would be helpful.
