DIY Easter Egg Wreath
Have fun making this adorable Easter egg wreath! It's easy to put together, uses minimal supplies, and looks amazingly cheerful as spring decor.
Yield: 1 Easter egg wreath
Cost: $10
Materials
- Mini plastic Easter eggs
- Metal wreath frame (12 inches)
- 1-1/2 inch wide Ribbon (pink or matching colour)
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Make the Easter egg flowers
- To make each flower on the wreath you'll need 6 mini plastic Easter eggs of one colour.
- You'll also need 1 yellow egg for the center of each flower. Cut the egg in half at the hinge -- you'll only be using the rounded bottom part.
- Set the round half of the egg on your working surface.
- Add a dot of hot glue to the pointed top of a pink egg.
- Hold the yellow egg as you push the pink egg into place. It should connect at the side of the yellow egg half at a slightly downward angle (i.e. the rounded part will stick up a bit).
- Repeat, gluing another pink egg directly across from the first one.
- This will give you room to glue the last 4 "petals", placing 2 eggs in-between on each side, connecting them at an angle.
- Make 7 more flowers (8 total), using different colours of Easter eggs.
Step 3: Add the flowers to the wreath
- This amount of egg flowers will fit on a 12 inch wire wreath frame. If your wreath frame or eggs are different sizes you'll need to see what works the best for you.
- Begin by adding hot glue to the back of the yellow center on one flower.
- Set it into place on the wreath.
- Once the glue is dry, flip the wreath over and add more glue to the back of the egg where it connects to the metal. This will secure the egg, keeping it in place.
- Now you'll want to arrange the rest of the flowers on the wreath frame. It can be a bit tricky to make them fit neatly, so place and re-arrange until you're happy with the look.
- You can take a picture of your flower placement and then refer to it as you glue the flowers into place.Or pick the flowers up carefully one by one to glue them, and then secure the backs of all the flowers at the end.
Step 4: Make and add a bow
- Use our how to make a bow tutorial to make a triple layered ribbon bow, or buy a premade bow.
- Add a dot of hot glue to the back center of the bow.
- Then set it into place at the top of the wreath, between 2 flowers, so the ribbons trail down into the center.
- Your Easter egg wreath is complete!
