Happy almost Easter weekend!
I hope you have some fun plans for hanging out with family but if you don't,
why not grab the kids and make an Easter egg wreath! This wreath is
affordable, quick and easy, and I'll bet all the craft stores have their stuff
on sale too, so it should be even cheaper to make!
We are packing up our home to move out of state
(find out why
here) , but I made the time to get together with a friend to make Easter egg
wreaths. We both have crazy busy lives, but needed some craft therapy and we
enjoyed some laughs, yummy iced coffee and baby snuggles too! 😉
How to make an Easter egg wreath
This wreath is so simple to make, it hardly warrants a tutorial. However,
there are a few tips and tricks that I'll share along the way to ensure you
successful wreath making!
Oh, and by the way, this is an affordable DIY wreath and cost less than $18
for all the supplies! Most of our supplies came from Hobby Lobby, but I'm
linking to similar products on Amazon below in case you don't have a HL near
you. I will share links to some of my most popular wreaths below.
Supplies
- grapevine wreath form (ours are 18")
- speckled eggs (all our speckled eggs came from Hobby Lobby)*
- moss (both reindeer moss and green Spanish moss)**
- hot glue
- wired ribbon to make a bow (I used blue gingham ribbon and burlap ribbon)
* you can use a wide variety of eggs for this wreath, even plastic ones!
** I grabbed a couple bags of
this green moss
from the dollar store but had to dip into my stash of Spanish and reindeer
moss because we didn't have enough
Making the wreath
First off, this is a messy project! The grapevine and the moss will get
everywhere, so make sure you're working on a covered surface or somewhere that
is easy to clean!
Getting started
We found it easiest to lay out our eggs on the wreath form to get a rough idea
of how we wanted our finished wreaths to look and to make sure we had enough
of each color egg for a balanced look.
Designer Tip: Hot gluing an egg to the grapevine wreath is a little tricky
because there isn't a smooth surface. We solved this by gluing an egg first
to a small piece of moss, then hot gluing the moss to the wreath.
Once all the eggs were attached, we went back and filled in the bare parts on
the wreath form with more moss.
This is the kind of DIY wreath that doesn't take a lot of concentration, so we
were able to talk and visit while we crafted.
Once we had all the Easter eggs and moss on our wreaths, we made a couple
quick bows and attached them to our wreaths with
craft wire. Please let me know in the comments if you'd like a bow tutorial!

Here are the finished wreaths hanging on our respective doors.
A new wreath adds such a fresh and pretty look to the front door and makes it feel more welcoming!
It was difficult to get a good picture of the wreath on our glass front door,
so I brought it inside and hung it on my chippy vintage door for a few full
shots.
I would love to know if you're inspired to make an Easter egg wreath! And
Happy Easter! This is such a special time of the year when we remember what
Jesus did for us on the cross, and the victory that is ours because of
him!
