Cute DIY Wreath to Welcome Spring

Springtime is all about blooms and bright colors, so it’s natural for crafters to use flowers in their spring-inspired wreaths. But you can also get creative and use plastic Easter eggs instead! The colorful eggs are synonymous with whimsy and fun, so they’ll make your homemade wreath extra adorable.

There are a few different wreath forms you can use for this project. A straw base that looks like the grass in Easter baskets is a nice subtle nod. Or, for something a little edgier, try a grapevine wreath form – the vines give it a fun, rustic look.

Once you’ve got your base, you’ll need a variety of plastic eggs to make the flowers. Each bloom uses half an eggshell as the center, surrounded by 5-6 egg “petals”. The number of flowers you need will depend on the size of your wreath. You’ll also need a glue gun, ribbon, and some silk greenery.

Start by making the egg flowers first. This will give you a sense of how big they’ll be and how many you’ll need to cover the wreath evenly without looking too crowded.

To make the flowers, open up one egg and glue 5-6 whole eggs around one half. Then glue the other half on top to create the flower’s center. Once the glue dries, use your hot glue gun to attach the flowers to the wreath.

Add some silk leaves near the egg flowers to give them a burst of greenery. You can cut leaves from a long ribbon if you can’t find the right silk ones. Finally, wrap a ribbon around the top of the wreath and make a loop to hang it up.

If you want to add some extra flair to your Easter wreath, try decorating the plastic eggs. Prime them with gesso first, then use acrylic paints to create fun designs. Finish with a coat of varnish to protect them.

You can also use eggs of different sizes to add visual interest. Look for mini eggs to make smaller flowers, and leave one or two large eggs whole at the top of the wreath. The different sizes create a cool focal point.
