Easter Wreath--DONE!

So, I have gone back and forth about how to decorate my Easter wreath. I really loved the fabric flowers I have seen on across the web, but I had these really great little eggs in my Easter decor stash from JoAnn's (purchased years ago). On the other hand, I really didn't want a WHOLE wreath done up in eggs...hmmm. Well, it did not come to me in a wacky pregnancy dream, but more or less an all-to-frequent sleepless night of staring at the window blinds. Eggs and fabric! Well, sort of...

I used some green tulle remnants I had on hand that I 'just had to have'. I cut strips, gathered (stitching by hand), and made little flowers. After hot gluing them onto the bottom of the wreath, I decided I needed some bright contrast.


I took some green grosgrain ribbon I had and made some little flowers just by making loops and gluing the center. These were added on in some random spots.


Ahhh....now I was ready for the eggs. I hot glued some eggs here, some there (Moira was a great helper during this, handing me a green egg, a blue egg, etc...We are practicing colors).

And here is the finished product.


I knew where I wanted it to go all along...compliments my 'egg tree' nicely, I would say! Easter wreath done!
