Hooray! Spring is finally here!
What better way to celebrate than to decorate the house with some bright spring colors?
I decided to start that adventure by making an easy, inexpensive Easter egg wreath.
I bought everything I needed at the dollar store, and spent a total of about $3 on this project. I must have been hiding under a rock or something because I had NO idea that the dollar store had wreath forms!! I have been overpaying for far too long...
Here's what I used to make the wreath:
Wreath form
Regular size Easter eggs {I used about 22}
Styrofoam glitter eggs {4 regular size}
These came pre-glittered and on picks. I bought one set of 5 regular size, and one set of 4 large eggs.
Hot glue
I didn't bother wrapping the wreath with ribbon or anything, but this might help if you have problems gluing the eggs onto the wreath. I needed to hold the egg in place for a minute or two until the glue cooled enough that the egg didn't shift. I started at the bottom and randomly added in the glitter eggs on.
Once the eggs were all on and the wreath was set, I added on some colored bows that came with the glitter eggs to add a little something extra. I ended up not having room on the wreath for the large eggs, so I just added them into my apothecary jars.
I love how colorful and EASY this wreath is!
Happy Spring!
SO CUTE!!!

What a cheeful wreath. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteSo fun and happy. It's crazy that wreath forms can be found at the dollar store now. Yay for using the coupons on *other* fun things instead of the forms now! Thanks for sharing such a great and easy project. Happy Easter! :)
