Easter Wreath
Easter is around the corner! Yikes! But we still have time to make a wreath
for your front door with this easy and inexpensive tutorial.
Items that you’ll need:
~72 plastic eggs
1 bag of Easter grass
pencil
hot glue gun
cardboard
ribbon to make your bow
2.5”
16”
Step 1:
Cut out a wreath from a piece of cardboard. Use a bowl as a stencil for the
outside and a smaller one for the inner circle. (Diameter: Outside 18”;
Inside 12” This is rather large)
Step 2:
After cutting out your wreath, start gluing your eggs onto the cardboard.
You will end up making two lines of glue ½” from the outside border and ½”
from the inside border. Glue the eggs’ “rears” together.
Step 3:
Once you have glued the first two rows, begin gluing another row of eggs
along the top in a random fashion on top of the existing eggs. There’s no
formula to it. Just add them in a random manner just the way you want
them to look.
Step 4:
Once you have covered your piece of cardboard with your eggs, start
covering up the holes using Easter grass. I used the end of a pencil so my
fingers wouldn’t get burned. Grab a pinch of the grass, squeeze out some
glue into the gap and then push the grass in with your pencil. Go all the
way around and fill in the empty spaces.
Step 5:
After gluing all of your eggs onto the wreath, make a bow and tie/glue it
onto the top center of the wreath. Be sure to include a piece of ribbon for
hanging purposes.
