Easter Egg Hunt - Wreath Tutorial

I see a lot of crafty blogs doing wreaths for holidays and Michael’s has a humungous DIY wreath section – so I figured I must be missing out on something because I’ve never made one.   What fun I had – I’ve been missing a whole area of crafting!   I made a festive Easter egg wreath for the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday.

Here’s what you will need:

·         Foam wreath

·         Burlap

·         May Arts Ribbon in baby blue, yellow, orange

·         Other ribbon in pink

·         Plastic easter eggs

·         Hot glue gun

Cover the wreath in burlap first.   Wrap the ribbon in sections after.   Glue the first part and the last part for a secure fit.

Glue a row of eggs together.  I also created a “flower” with the eggs.    Start by adding glue to one egg, then position the next.  Go all the way around in a circle with five eggs, then top with a sixth egg.   Add both egg components to the wreath. 

I love how bright and cheery this is.   I made some notes to improve for the next holiday or occasion, can’t wait to get into wreath making.   The 2^nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt that we host is this weekend, I can hardly wait.   Be sure to check in Sunday for a photo recap, and all next week I’ll be sharing tutorials on cupcake toppers, decorations, favors, baskets, banners and more!  Have a great weekend.

I was so proud of this, I linked it up at a few blogging parties on the web.  Check out all these great sites.
