My wreath obsession is no secret around here. I can point you to several examples {like here, here, and here} where I have made multiple wreaths in a short time period. Mathlete actually complains that he always comes home to a new wreath. This one last went up yesterday after our St. Patrick’s Day wreath came down and I actually plan to leave it up for a few weeks until Easter comes. {Shocker, I know}
Take a look at my wreath for Easter:
Think the Easter bunny will stop at our house with those welcoming eggs on the door? I certainly hope so.
Let’s talk about the wreath making though because that is the fun part!
Obviously, this wreath wasn’t my standard wrap with yarn and go. I picked up this backless picture frame from Michaels one day when they were having a big sale. I removed all of the little hangers from the back to make sure they wouldn’t scratch my door.
Next, I grabbed some ribbon and started wrapping it on the four sides.
It was all going great until this
I finally got that untangled and went back to wrapping.
Once the sides were all wrapped, I had to figure out exactly how I wanted my eggs to be attached.
My first thought was to hang them down in the middle but I only had two eggs. Mathlete has a the mind of a 13 year old boy sometimes so I knew two eggs would illicit lots of jokes. Plan B.
I took some ribbon and hot glued to the back of the frame in a zig zag.
Then, I attached the eggs to the ribbon.
Wreath complete!
Happy {early} Easter!

Thanks! I had fun with this wreath because it was really outside of the “round wreath” norm.
I love it! What a great idea! Pinning! 🙂
