Simple Easter Wreath


Isn't it funny how the simpler the craft the happier it makes you? While the kiddies were napping one day I whipped out this cute Easter Egg wreath in no time at all, and it's been making me smile ever since.
I started with a basic 13" wreath form, and using my hot glue gun I just started packing on the spanish moss until it was densely covered enough that the form was no longer visible. I've seen a lot of people use spanish moss lately and thought it looked great, but no one said anything about the mess it makes. It really is terrible, so learn from my mistake and take the extra minute to lay down newspaper before you start.
When it came to the eggs I could have made some myself and glittered them and all that bother, but instead I made my life easier by picking up a few bags of premade eggs (originally with ribbons attached to hang on a easter tree) from Dollar Tree, pulled out the ribbons and glued them on.

So you know what to look for :)

Wreath done. Door pretty. Laura happy.
