Easter egg wreath

Easter Egg Wreath

I saw this wreath on pinterest several times, different pic's and thought let's try it.  I will give this site (cindis.blogspot.com)credit it's the one I read.  What you need:  2 pc of cardboard.  I had an old box that I used., 5-6 bags of eggs, hot glue gun and lots of glue sticks, scissors, ribbon, pencil,  and Easter grass.

What to do:  

I took a plate and traced it out on my box, then drew out 3 inches to make the second circle.  I did this twice.  If you have 2 objects one bigger than the other you can just trace both. Then hot glue the 2 pc together. Now start hot gluing your eggs on.  After the first layer of eggs I added grass in the holes to fill them in.  I had forgotten that I needed a ribbon to hold the wreath up, so I added that now.  On the top of the wreath tie a pc of ribbon just enough to hang your wreath when done.  I took my unfinished wreath after tying ribbon on and tried it out on my hook on the front door.  It was good.  I then came back in and added my second layer of eggs, this was a single layer.  After this  I added eggs to fill in the area on the top of the wreath(that had been left open-u can put a big bow here and not fill in with eggs).  Then I added my bow.  Went back and added more grass until I felt it was not showing cardboard.  Trim your grass and then go hang up that wreath! 

My cardboard circles glued together.

To left my 1st layer of double eggs. To the right my space with ribbon to hang wreath up.

Bottom left  is the Easter grass and pencil I used to put it in the spaces.  Bottom right is the grass in the spaces between the eggs.

Last is the wreath hanging on the door!!!  Yayyy, it is done.  The eggs were a little off center but better luck next time, is what I thought.  I will keep it.  You can use any color eggs you want any any kind of ribbon and make your bow however you want.  Lots of possibilities with this idea.  Look forward to trying a new one next year!
