This Easter Egg and Bunny Wreath I made is a great example of something anyone can make because it's so simple and inexpensive to do. I bought flowers and Easter picks on sale at Michael's a rattan wreath at the Dollar Tree. These wreaths are so easy and inexpensive to make that you can use this tutorial to make wreaths for different holidays to hang on your front door or inside your home.
You will need:
-Rattan Wreath (any size, but mine is a 12 inch wreath)
-Spray paint
-Floral swag with flowers
-2 egg floral picks
-1 rabbit floral pick
-Hot glue gun and glue sticks
-Design It:® Paddle Wire from FloraCraft
-Design It:® Wire Cutter from FloraCraft
-Scissors
-1 1/2 inch wide wire edge ribbon
1. Spray paint your wreath with your color choice of spray paint and let paint dry. I used the Blue Ocean Breeze color from Krylon.

3. Using the wire cutters, clip egg and rabbit picks to size and place them on the bottom center of the wreath. Glue to secure.
4. Make a bow for the wreath. I use wire edge ribbon for wreaths because it maintains it's shape, but any kind of ribbon you want to use is fine.
5. Glue bow near the egg and rabbit picks. Then make a hanger for the wreath using floral wire. Insert the wire into one of the vines on the wreath, then twist the ends. Now the wreath is ready to hang.

So pretty, Shannon. Love that you painted it that gorgeous blue shade. You make great bows, too. xo
You sure made me want to create a Easter arrangement after your last post. I have my list made to take to Michaels. Maybe I will make a wreath to match! Love yours!

Hi Shannon. That really is pretty and looks easy enough to follow. I think I will try it. The colors are just right. I see you made a shamrock one too, which I didn't see yet, so I'll check it out. Thanks so much for your kind comments to Mabel. She really appreciates them but she came home with a bit of an attitude and says she is shedding her apron for next year. Well, we shall see about that Missy!!..Happy Tuesday..Judy

Such a cute wreath! I love that you painted it blue, and the bunny and eggs are cute!
So delicate but cheery at the same time. I think it has a lot to do with the beautiful colors you picked to enhanced it! Very pretty! Came hopping over from the Cozy Little House Party!
