This little project was so simple and fun to put together, I was wishing I had another wreath and more eggs!
I saw this sign wrote on the box and got all excited and here it was summer time and we were sweating in the heat with no sign of Easter in sight! Oh well, that's what crafters do!
Easter Egg Wreath
For this project you will need:
- 12" straw wreath
- Lots of plastic Easter eggs (I used about 80)
- Two bags of paper basket filler (I used the natural brown color because it was in the box)
- Glue gun with glue sticks
- flat head screwdriver
After you get all the eggs glued to your wreath, use the flat head screwdriver to push the shredded paper into the open spaces between the eggs. Continue until all the open spaces are filled. I didn't use any glue to hold the paper, it just stays put for the most part.
This is what your wreath should look like when you're finished. You could also mix the colors while gluing the eggs onto the wreath and use the traditional green color of shredded paper for a very different look. Will you be looking for plastic Easter Eggs next time you go yard sale-ing or thrifting?
It doesn't have to be done all at once. It is a slow process in the works! C-ya next time!
