Do It Yourself Easter Egg Door Wreath Decoration If you need a great way to make an entrance for your baby’s first Easter party this easy and inexpensive tutorial from Ellen Bessette will make sure your front door is cute, colorful and eggzactly perfect.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 75 plastic eggs 1 bag of Easter grass Pencil Hot glue gun Cardboard Ribbon to make your bow 12″ string
HOW TO CREATE YOUR EASTER WREATH Step 1: Cut out a wreath from a piece of cardboard. This wreath measures 16” across. Helpful tip: Use a dinner plate as a stencil for your circle. Step 2: After cutting out your wreath, start gluing your plastic eggs onto the cardboard. “I made two lines and glued their “butts” together. I also tied a string onto the cardboard so that I could hang the wreath on a hook once it was completed.” Step 3: Once the cardboard is covered with eggs, start covering up the holes using your Easter grass. Grab a pinch of the grass, squeeze out some glue and then push into the gaps with the end of your pencil. Go all the way around and fill in the empty spaces. You can make it as full as you want or not so full. Step 4: After filling in the gaps, start gluing another row of eggs on top of the existing eggs. Do a straight line around or randomly glue your eggs on in any way you want. Step 5: Make your bow and tie or glue it onto the top center of the wreath.
