Materials needed to make an Easter Egg Wreath
How to Make an Easter Egg Wreath
Prepare the eggs
- Make sure the eggs are clean and dry.
- Cut a piece of floral wire 4″ long. Thread a piece of wire and thread through the bottom holes of the plastic egg. Twist the wire to secure in place. Repeat with all the eggs.
- Carefully glue the two egg pieces together so they stay closed.
- Mix the paint so you have white, blue, light blue, green, and light green.
- Paint each egg with different colors of paint. Set aside and allow to dry completely. One coat should be enough but apply another coat if necessary.
Assemble the beads
- If using them, attach the wreath to the grapevine using floral wire.
- Twist the tails of the wire from the egg around the pencil to make the hook.
- Hook the wire into the branches of the wreath to hold it in place.
- If necessary, add some hot glue to hold the eggs in place.
- Repeat with alternating colors and sizes of the remaining eggs as you go around the wreath. Try to keep the eggs in the same direction around the wreath for a cohesive look.
The final touch
I think the garland looks great as is, but you could add a simple ribbon, some leaves, or a phrase in the middle. Seashell garland idea. I added a cute white dove to my Easter egg wreath.
One of the best parts of this wreath is that I used materials I already had at home. After Easter is done I can simply remove the eggs and reuse the wreath with a summertime theme.
