How to make an Easter egg tray wreath
Making plastic eggs
Paint the plastic eggs with blue chalk paint. Allow the paint to dry and add an additional coat of paint for better coverage.
Add some brown paint to a paintbrush and tap the handle lightly so the paint slides onto the eggs. This will give the eggs a mottled appearance.
Preparation of the crown
Then paint the wooden cutouts and let dry. We used carrots and bunny.
Glue the painted eggs onto the tray.
Glue moss to the tray, covering as much as you want of the eggs and the tray.
Add the wooden cutouts in the middle of the tray.
Finally, attach a bow and bunny to the top of the wreath.
Show and enjoy!
Color and style variations
Plastic eggs take paint really well. Acrylic craft paint works best, but chalk paint gives a softer farmhouse feel. Pastels are a classic choice for Easter, although white, cream or muted greens look great for subtle spring decor.
How to Display Your Easter Egg Tray Wreath
- Welcome guests by hanging your Easter egg wreath on the front door using ribbon or a removable hook for an easy seasonal update.
- It also looks cute over a mantelpiece or mantel paired with simple spring foliage.
- For a home table decor idea, lean it against the wall as part of an Easter vignette with candles or decorative eggs.
- It also works beautifully as a gift decoration idea when tied with twine and a small tag.
Charming and festive
It’s a relaxed project that you can complete in one sitting, with plenty of room to make it your own. If you try, be sure to take a photo and save it for next year. Feel free to share or pin this project so it’s easy to find when spring rolls around again.
