Easter Egg Wreath

Pin It


I have been seeing a lot of Easter Egg Wreath on Pintrest lately and it made me think that hey we could make one of those.  So off to the dollar store I went and got the eggs, I did however get the foam ring and grass at hobby lobby.

This time instead of tell my daughter it was project time, she now told me "let's do a project mommy!"  I think she may have the crafting bug, which is good and bad.  This weekend we did 3 projects back to back and she wanted more.  I am going to have to start getting really creative here.

Supplies

Plastic eggs
foam ring
Easter grass (the stuff you put in a basket)
Glue gun
Elmers glue
Scissors
Ribbon

Directions
Start by glueing your eggs around the out side of the wring then the top then the inside with your glue gun.  And it is okay if there are white spots showing and the eggs are not all touching.

Once all eggs are on, use your elmers glue around the eggs and on the parts of foam that are showing, then stick your grass in those spots.  I also wrapped the grass around the eggs after my daughter shoved it in the "holes".  Then you can cut off some excess grass if you want.  (I left ours pretty messy but I like it that way).

To hang this we used a cute Easter ribbon, just cut a long enough piece off then fold it over and using your glue gun glue it in place on back of your wreath.  Now you can use a thumb tack or nail to hang from a wall or door and no one  will see it (nail the inner piece of ribbon so the outer one will cover it) 

Question of the Day:  Do your kids love to craft?
