Easter Garland

Here we go again! Another one of my ribbon/wood shape garlands! I just love the way they look on my mantel - a quick, inexpensive way to change up for the seasons and hardly requires any room to store!

As always, this is highly adaptable. If you want to focus more on the meaning of Easter, you could always pick circles or a different shape and write out "He Is Risen", maybe add a cross, etc.

Here's how I did mine:
Supplies needed:
8 oval shapes (I get mine at a local chain craft store - can cost anywhere from 10-39 cents a piece)
Ribbon
Paint and paint brushes
letter stickers (if desired)
hot glue gun

First, I decorated each oval to look like an Easter egg.

Once dry, I opted to use letter stickers to write out EASTER. (I had some left over and really did not like the way my hand lettering turned out on my Valentine's garland.)

Cut as much ribbon as you desire to hang across your mantel. Space the finished wood shapes on your ribbon and glue.

Hang and enjoy!

Easter Egg Wreath

Yes, today is Valentine's Day, but all of my crafts for this year are taking forever and obviously will not be done in time for VDay, so thought I'd post a favorite Easter craft from past years. I will post a picture when I can find it, but that may be a while...ha! With Ash Wednesday just a week away, thought I'd post the link to the directions.

Cute and Easy Easter Egg Wreath

Supplies needed:
42-ish plastic Easter Eggs
Cardboard (large enough for the base of your wreath)
plastic grass (don't need tons)
Wire-edged ribbon - will be making a bow out of it (I always use pipe cleaners when I make bows)
Hot glue gun
Scissors, pencil

(Basically, you make your wreath base, hot glue the eggs down leaving space for a ribbon, tuck grass into the holes using the eraser end of a pencil to fill in the gaps. Add the ribbon and some sort of hook for hanging (I think I used a paperclip)

Very easy and can be super inexpensive if you buy your eggs after Easter!

Love their moms craft night out too...super fun!!
