Easter Wreath

EasterWreath8
I wanted to make a wreath for Easter, but my crafting is still a work in progress.  I saw this idea on Pinterest, and I thought I could make this.  I used a wreath form instead of cutting cardboard.

I probably should have used a smaller wreath form (now I know).  I actually had to go back to the store and get some more eggs.  I used a total of 4 bags of large eggs & 2 bags of small bags.  I got them at Dollar Tree along with the rolls of ribbon.  The pink material (flannel) I picked up @ JoAnn for $2.50/yd on sale.

I think traced around the form, plus some extra to cover the back and sides of the form

I used a wooden skewer to help push the grass in between the eggs so I wouldn’t burn my fingers (lol, I still did)

I made sure I put eggs on the inside and outside along with the grass.  I did leave an opening at the top for my bow.

Hope you like my wreath, let me know what you think.  If you make one, please send me a picture of yours.
Thanks, Michelle

    1. A smaller one would be MUCH easier, but I actually made this one for work (doctors office) so I needed it to be larger. :)
